Matthew Amador, one of Khan’s neighbors, told the outlet that he grabbed his sword when he processed what was happening and ran after the attacker.

I mean, who doesn't have their trusty sword always at the ready just in case the need arises to chase a random attacker?
Obviously. But he was in Texas. He should have had his handgun in his holster.

Not only is it weird to do this with your dad (imagine the alert goes off...) but it's ineffective since all you do is get an old phone, put it on wifi and use that one. Duh.

So instead, the 17 year old will take his pent-up emotions and buy an AR-15. Great idea.

Just like Trent wrote about in '94

I am a big man, yes I am
And I've got a big gun
Got me a big ol' dick and I
I like to have fun
Held against your forehead
And I'll make you suck it
Maybe I'll put a hole in your head, you know
Just for the fuck of it
Well, I can reduce you if I want
Well, I can devour
I'm hard as fucking steel
I've got the power
I'm every inch a man
And I'll show you somehow
Me and my fucking gun
Nothing can stop me now

With a very quick search of "Protesters Blocking Road/Roads" I have found at least 7 times (in this and other threads) dating back to 2016 where I have talked about how there are fewer things that upset me more than people protesting for whatever cause by blocking highways and roads. If you decide to sit in the middle of I95 or whatever and I run your ass over, that's on you.

(Also when I'm alone in the car I generally just have uncontrollable road rage but let's not talk about that.)

Finally both my home state and other state governments are starting to agree with me:

On Monday, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed an “anti-riot bill” into law that, among other things, grants civil immunity to people who decide to drive their cars into protesters who are blocking a road.

In Oklahoma, Republican lawmakers approved a bill that grants civil and criminal immunity to motorists who kill or injure protestors..."

continuing my long running series of assholes who block the road we no have a guy who may have slightly overstepped.


I mean getting shot in the leg or something seems reasonable to me if you're blocking the road but being killed is a little harsh.
