Re: Brazilian Man, Threatened by Loan Shark, Is Shot Dead Outside Bar
Ever had a gun pulled on you? You ever been stabbed? You ever been punched? Ever punched someone? Would be the same anywhere. The shock. You’d be pissing your pants frozen solid. |

I like a guy who can shoot with one hand and hold his beer with the other...

Re: Brazilian Man, Threatened by Loan Shark, Is Shot Dead Outside Bar
Damn that's a really short list of countries, in the western hemisphere you got Canada and points north plus a half dozen or so island nations in the Caribbean like Barbados, St Lucia, Trinidad, Cuba, etc, but that's it. Fewer than 365 murders a year is a pretty big ask anyplace bigger than a couple million people. It's also odd to see such a concern expressed on a site devoted to amassing the most encyclopedic catalog of murders on earth, for example, I can't stand snakes and avoid them avidly, whether in the wild or online, and I would imagine a murder aversion would be similar but I'm obviously wrong as well as rambling. Cheers

Re: Brazilian Man, Threatened by Loan Shark, Is Shot Dead Outside Bar
In normal countries if you haven't given anyone a reason to kill you, it's reasonable to assume that any gunshots you hear that haven't already hit you, are aimed at someone else, and aimed that way for a reason. In these sorts of places, where senseless mass murders are rare, there is no reason to panic and scream a pearl clutch at the mere sound of gunfire. Not so in the US. In America, hearing shots and assuming a shooter has a preferred target, forget motive, can quickly get you killed. In a country where random mass murders are commonplace, the luxury of indulging in the fantasy that they are probably shooting at someone can be deadly. So it is no surprise that Americans respond to unexpected gunfire nearby by fleeing the area as quickly as physical laws allow.
