    You caught a man with his hand in your girlfriend’s purse, and his punishment was a “hey, not cool” and 15 seconds of awkward escalator?

    No fucking wonder that happens CONSTANTLY when an awkward 15 second escalator ride is the punishment for getting caught.

      What do you suggest they should’ve done instead in that situation? Assault him and get arrested? Report him to the police or airport security and miss the flight while getting the bureaucratic run-around?

        Sounds like your police protect criminals and not the victims if what you’re describing is true.

        Nah, I suggest they should try aggressively shitting their pants, synchronized with their girlfriend.

        Surely the sound + smell will attract the authority figure they so need, and the situation will resolve itself quickly. Much more effective than a stern look!

          Nah. There’s a subset sure but not really. I don’t carry anything and I feel no fear. I even lived in Detroit and walked around at night. It was fine.

              I have no reason to come into contact with cops, security guards, or soldiers on a regular basis. I can only assume your “literally” is facetious as well because literally every day is absurd.

              And in the context of replying to someone making claims against the “average American” carrying guns, I think it’s appropriate to omit people carrying for work, yes.

                  Do you not see the guns on people carrying for work?

                  I didn’t say I don’t see them, I said I would omit them. As in not count them. In direct response to your question.

                  I do in fact literally see guns every single day.

                  Literally every day? Literally every. Single. Day?

                  Even if there’s a cop on every street corner waving his gun in the air, you’ve never stayed home on a saturday? You’ve never gone camping? Never spent the day anywhere where there weren’t guns?
