Correct. The problem is that social-media addicts' rudeness is starting to spill into the "real world," since they suffered no consequences for being verbally-abusive online.

The SJW/jogger/other Low-IQ types so obsessed with "likes" and attention turn into over-entitled authoritarian MegaKarens when they go in public, and these recent months shut-in with no one to berate have them acting-out even more aggressively than ever before.

To be fair... there was never going to be "unity" between SJWs and normal people. Not with them being so easily-triggered and potentially violent at the first hint of dissent with the Leftist Agenda.

Dudes got themselves killed pulling a "prank" a la YouTube prank channels by "pretending" to rob a guy with butcher knives. The victim shit all of them.

Apparently their favorite YouTube prankster didn't tell them all their videos are staged.

Although last I heard nobody was actually filming so that is probably just a thinly veiled lie.

Whoops!

We will see more and more of this, as fully-MSM-indoctrinated attention-seekers commit increasingly foolhardy acts in their quest for unearned "internet fame," endangering both themselves and others. As gun violence in movies/TV is further glorified and/or played for laughs, proper safety practices will give way to "hold my soy latte with a shot of Monster, watch this!" No sane person would prank a police officer or bodyguard/security guard, but as disrespect for authority and authorities blossoms, the inevitable will happen- and the inevitable will happen. Pulling a threatening prank on a man with these reflexes would not leave time to let him in on the joke.

>tl;dr Anyone can livestream themself doing something stupid or hazardous. This does not mean they should do so.

As far as I know the target was a civilian who had a CCW.

Fiction isn't the problem, people's ever decreasing ability to separate fiction from reality is the problem.

That's what I'm getting at, children today see all manner of violence on TV compared to 50 years ago. Even if watching a non-violent show, a commercial for a violent-crime movie or ghoulish horror movie can pop up. Violence and gunfire is often played for laughs, and fatal shootings are routinely used as a punch-line or "applause sign."

Of course that's on top of all the other bad behaviors delivered through Hollywood "programming," with poorly-parented people indoctrinated to imitate the fashions/hairstyles/vocabulary/substance habits of celebrities- and right along with it, an unsavory menu of bad behaviors including unsafe aggressive misuse of firearms and other weapons, official and improvised.

Add to that programming the rudeness and narcississm brought on by social-media obsession + the rampant recreational use of Xanax and similar meds combined with alcohol, and that's how you get legions of people who have little grip on reality and dubious memory, easily triggered into MegaKaren screeching and/or violence. Throw millions of guns into the mix, in the hands of felons and semi-literate future felons who shouldn't be trusted with a fork, and you get daily disasters.

>Disclaimer: I am a strong 2nd Amendment supporter. The point of the previous rant is the problem of irresponsible handling/use of firearms due to bad examples seen in TV and movies from an early age, combined with substance abuse and general disrespect for law & order and the rights and feelings of others.
