that moment when you remember you can't have stupid mindless fun like normal people because you live in a shit neighborhood filled with shit people.

Lol no wealth inequality begs to differ… this doesn’t happen in rich neighborhoods. Stop trying to reduce complex issues to something as basic as “hurr durr America and guns”

u/luaks1337 18d ago
I agree but isn't wealth inequality in general a problem for most countries and the US too? I mean sure most of the neighborhoods are safe but it's not like hoods are a rare occurrence either.

America is a terrible country.

u/flipstur 18d ago
What an insightful and thought out opinion…
I don’t even disagree with you necessarily, but it’s just more nuanced than that. There are amazing people and parts of the US, just like many countries across the world.
But the US is also riddled with it’s fair share of issues, I definitely know that. Is it a terrible country?
Depends how optimistic you are in my opinion.

That describes most of America.

u/gaptx 18d ago
Nah, shut up with that Reddit “America bad” bullshit. Such a lazy ass comment. Most neighborhoods in America you can do your thing without worrying about getting shot. This is an outlier

u/Omoriperson 18d ago
No it's not...maybe the rich areas yes, but there are A LOT of slums and ghettos all over the states .
I studied criminology and crime stats in university and the United States has an obscene amount of crime compared to every other first world country.

u/CmonRelaxMan 18d ago edited 18d ago
Are you assuming slums and ghettos are not rampant in most other leading nations?
Edit: Nice edit guy your real slick with it

u/SeachickenFightWin 18d ago
There are approximately 14,400 victims of gun crime in the US in 2019. There are 330,000,000 people in the US.
So 1 in 23,000 people is a victim of gun crime.
Extrapolate over however many years you want - the overwhelming majority will never see something like this in their life.
Is it an order-of-magnitude higher than other countries? Yes, and it's a problem. But you're talking about going from 99.99% chance of safety to 99.9%

u/blipsnchitzer 18d ago
Out of curiosoty does the 14k include suicides, people shot by police, and accidental shootings?

u/Atomicn1ck 17d ago
That's so not true lol. Slums and ghettos are results of metropolitan areas mostly with a small handful of poorly managed rural poverty. Get out of the city more.

And you did something most likely shitty that made people justify shooting at you

u/CantStopPoppin 18d ago
Three people including a teenage girl were killed in a drive-by shooting as people filmed a milk crate challenge for Tik-Tok.
Horrific footage shows a man with a cigarette climbing the stacked crates before shots can be heard ringing out.
The cameraman flees for cover as automatic gunfire sprays the area outside Linwood Public Charter School in Louisiana on Sunday afternoon.
One man can be heard shouting “Get me my gun, get me my gun!” as he looked to return fire.
Tragically, a 19-year-old woman named Paris King, KSLA reported was found dead in the back seat of a car at 6.11pm.

Is there video of the automatic gun fire? From that clip all I could make out was fullsemiauto.

u/thr33m0jo3 18d ago
Yeah, if there isn't another instance not in this recording of gunshots I'd like to hear,but that was not a ln automatic weapon, it sounded like a magdump on a semi auto, not even an impressively fast one.

The news has started calling semi-auto "automatic gunfire" basically in the news world it means not a pump, lever, bolt action, or single shot. It sounds scarier which is basically the entire reason they do it

u/Sativized 18d ago
The automatic piece comes from UK's Evening-Standard and then got copy pasta'd around news sites https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/what-is-milk-crate-challenge-tik-tok-instagram-social-trend-shot-b952285.html

u/Muddy_Roots 18d ago
its fucked what kind of communities some people live in. I live outside Chicago and every weekend we get a tally of how many people were shot/killed.

u/MephiticSpooge 18d ago
Yeah it's wild. I remember in 2019 Alaska had more gun crime than any other American state (per 100,000) all from white on white crime as well, I believe Alabama was second that year. In the end I guess environment plays a bigger role than ethnicity. People shouldn't be left to fend for themselves in these environments.
It really highlights how little American governments care for their own people.

u/BasicallyADoctor 18d ago
While Alaska does have a high white gun crime rate its average is brought up by the fact that the native gun crime rate is almost 1.5 times higher https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/firearms-death-rate-by-raceethnicity/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D

u/MephiticSpooge 18d ago
As I said, fascinating to see its the environment that's the issue and strange that nothing is being done.

u/Souse-in-the-city 18d ago
all from white on white crime as well
This part was incorrect you should change it. Or at least get rid of all.
-8
u/MephiticSpooge 18d ago
Why would I get rid of the whole thing due to one error? The majority was white on white crime. Just like the majority in Alabama during that year.
The core point is that it's nothing to do with ethnicity.

u/IngFavalli 18d ago
If it's has nothing to do with ethnicity why did you bring it up on the first place?

u/Mooksayshigh 18d ago
Bc of course is has something to do with ethnicity to him, wyppl bad. He’s just back pedaling bc he’s wrong.
1
u/MephiticSpooge 15d ago
To emphasise the point it wasn't about ethnicity, its about environment as all the evidence proves.
Not sorry at racists for being mad 🤷♂️

u/IngFavalli 15d ago
So you feel the need to mention that it was white on white as a form of saying "see, it's not the blacks this time" because that's how its come off, there is absolute no need to clarify it being white on white to prove the point you mention, which refers solely to crime, not whichever race that comits the crime.

u/MephiticSpooge 14d ago
So you feel the need to mention that it was white on white as a form of saying "see, it's not the blacks this time"
No. To highlight that it's nothing to do with race. As I already explained.
And since you missed that I'll repeat the second part of the post as well just to be clear;
I don't care if it triggered the racists in this sub. That's their problem. Not mines.

u/Slomojoe 18d ago
Don’t worry, it’s white peoples fault somehow.

u/Afghan_Ninja 18d ago
Hun, we wrote the rule book and set the game. Yes, it is ultimately our fault. And even if the boulder was already rolling down the hill when you got there, doing what you can within your means to stop that boulder from causing harm is a good persons prerogative.
2
u/Slomojoe 17d ago
I didn't write shit. I take full exception to this "our" bs. And no one is arguing against doing things to stop harm either. If you think someone getting shot to death in the hood is the work of some ivory puppetmaster, then it's time to get a grip. Take accountability for what you can control, not what you were born into.

u/IneoMors 18d ago edited 18d ago
We worried about some foreign country but our own country is worse than a war zone...14K + die every year from gun violence in the US....the entire 20 years of war in A-stan only claimed 2,500 military members...

If you look at the shadow on the ground at 0:16, you can see the cameraman also has a gun.

u/PrinceAliAtL 18d ago
He does not. You can see later in the video the shadow of his hand holding the fence with no gun. The shadow you see at 0:16 is…. The phone gees using to film
1
u/WeRegretToInform 17d ago
I disagree. It looks very much like his left hand is holding the phone and his right hand is holding a handgun.

Sad to hear what happened to those people. Out on a beautiful day having some fun. There is better ways to settle differences than killing people. No one wins with that. Be safe out there no matter where you live.

This is a very powerful video. The complete change from a video of an innocent tiktok challenge to a skirmish in the streets is really contrasting. God Bless America

Yeah I thought the same, it's easy to forget that this video documents in what results in decades of grief for the families.
