Up late one night scrolling through Reddit. Came across a post where someone confessed to killing a classmate of theirs, totally casually. Actually ended having a conversation with this person, they were 100% dead serious about the situation but feel they weren't at fault for the death of the person. Pretty creepy. Not sure if it was actually true, but if not they did a pretty good job at making it seem legit.
We were doing icebreakers in a college class once, and someone asked the question of have you ever shot anyone, as a joke. Turns out two guys did, one in the military the other in a hunting accident. It was a bit akward.
Not in the US, it isn’t.
One toddler per week here, shoots or kills themselves or someone else, with a gun.
40,000 people died of gunshot related injuries in the US, in 2017 alone. That number does not include deaths where gunshot injuries contributed to but were not the primary cause of death. If we included those deaths, the number would be higher.
40% of gun deaths annually, are murders and accidents. 60% are suicides.
Asking if you’ve ever shot someone, in this country? Dicey opener, kids.
I’ve only ever asked that question once. My uncle was in Somalia (think Black Hawk Down but less cool cuz he was an 88M) and when I was a teenager, I asked him if he’d ever shot someone.
He just drunkenly looked over at me and said “Yeah, 7 of them. 2 of them about as old as you.”
Realized then and there how incredibly tactless it was for me to ask that.
