OP is making jokes in their summary, but this is serious, a kids fucking dead.
And this isn't pranking and getting consequences. They were walking into a store to return one, and some fucking asshat attacked and killed one of them
So, this guy had a gun on him, and saw someone else with a gun... And thought person with a gun, danger!?
What an asshole.
I wonder why the guy thought the kid was going to rob the place? Oh...he was brown.
Also, said person was going into the gun store with a gun 🤡
The account really reads like he lept to using his gun as a first resort instead of the last. When all you have is a hammer...
Also, in a country filled with those who pride themselves on the right to own guns and on their actual ownership of guns I'm still surprised that people view other people having guns as a justification to kill them.
Police kill someone in a routine traffic stop? It's okay, he had a gun.
Random citizen kills another random citizen? It's okay, he had a gun.
The Rambo fantasy kills another innocent kid.
And also, very likely, traumatized multiple others who just witnessed a couple of teenagers get shot and killed.
Well yeah, he’s not a cop. He’s a random lunatic with a gun.
I mean, cops also seem to just be random lunatics with a gun, and handed a badge.
