Old people shooting gig workers is so fucking American.
Extra American because it was an old white person shooting a black gig worker because they fell for a phone scam.
No, he shot a 61 year old black woman.
Shit autocorrect changed gig to guy, fixed it
This is fucking horrific. He shot her as she was trying to run away, stopped, and then shot her some more. A 61 year old woman who was obviously no threat.
I keep hearing about old white people shooting black people that come to their door. Is it that they’re old and on the verge of death and they’ve wanted to kill for so long, so they just say yolo and choose to retire in prison (or die before the trial is even finished)?
My theory is their burgerland mindset is one of constantly needing to be in control and having power over their circumstances. Being close to death is an unavoidable reminder that they don’t have that constant control, and so they overcompensate with shit like this; if they can’t dictate the terms of their own death then they’ll dictate it for someone else that makes them feel not in control.
I think it’s very simple. They want to kill people, especially minorities, and their yard is their little fiefdom. About 90% of white Americans are Kyle Rittenhouses in waiting.
I think it’s also that there is an historic precedent in the US that makes it perfectly acceptable to extrajudicially murder, especially Black people, and older people were very much in contact with that time. It’s deeply embedded in the culture but it isn’t so distant that some can’t remember Jim Crow and Sunset towns, so it is not just historical but also a material reality and natural order to them.
Not to mention that humans can become more fearful existentially as they near death and conservative Whites are constantly waterboarded on horror fantasies of ultraviolent BLM radical antifas coming to kill them and their kids.
But I’m not supposed to want crackers like this on pikes, aight
I really wish progressive retribution was more common. Why can’t someone burn down this fuckers house or drop kick one of his fail children?
