Should’ve just gave it up. Foolish of him to fight seeing how he was outnumbered. Hindsight’s 20/20. Probably only saw the guy in front of him pointing a gun at him.

Eloquently put. Can’t argue with that.

In most circles that level of peacocking is a bit cringy. In some circles it’ll get you robbed and shot in the head.

It seems to be used in a lot of black and mixed (like Brazil) cultures as a necessary status symbol especially when they live in societies where they are a minority. White British people (and this is speaking very generally) tend to prefer more understated status symbols. Less Rolex and more Patek Philippe. Stuff that you have to get up close to before you see how expensive it is.

And on the photo of the deceased, the way he is ridiculously wearing the chain, pulled out from underneath his sweatshirt kinda says to me he is super proud of it and probably spent half of his inheritance money on it. The same stupidity of flaunting it and wanting people to see it is no doubt what drew the attention that got him killed. Why the fuck you need to wear that while you're working in a laundromat I do not know. Like he's trying to impress some fat old granny washing the crusts out of her knickers. Fucking idiot.

I have a few nice things also, but I wear them for me, nobody else has to see them.

As a great person once told me, “It’s OK, let them do this to each other. Less of them to deal with down the road.”

Common shit in this kind of "civilized" and imported apes.

His life was worthless to the shooters…
I think he was going to be shot either way, why not fight?
Besides, the fight/flight/freeze response to danger is an instinct. You don’t think about that reaction, your body just acts.
