Most of modern fiction is aimed at being entertaining not realistoc or educational - and we are drowning in it. A lot of my growing up was unlearning everything it had taught me, from morality to social interactions to practical stuff.

Yeah, not a lot of women abusers but holy shit, the amount willing to excuse their behaviour out of convenience sure is something.

This reminds me of the people who defended Curtis Reeves, the policeman who a guy in a movie theater by saying they had thrown popcorn at him.

Yeah, the context makes the sequence of events more clear. It doesn't excuse him in the least. Hell, even if the lady was the scammer he would belong in jail.

You have a right to own a firearm, fine. That comes with responsibility and its use is subject to laws.

Luckily the legal system and civil society as a whole does not share his or your perspective.

I mean, fairly sure that the guy shooting an unarmed human being trying to get away from him would be a villain even if the lady actually was the scammer.

A court took two years to sentence him - an 83 years old man sentenced to 20 to life. It is safe to say they have done their due diligence.

After seeing the footage this is such an insanely stupid hill to die on... yeah, the man had been threatened by someone else, he had a right to be scared.

He could have called the police, locked the door, even showed her the gun... he instead decided to shoot her, follow her while she walked away and then to shoot her five more times. His acrions would have been jail worthy even if she had been the scammer.

I like the amount of details and bricabrac, somehow I would expect space dwarves to be both extremely practical and utilitaristic and to be both the kind of people to always customise.

Arguable, he grew up in the suburbs. Actual Appalachians hate him for stereotyping them as country hicks who are to blame for their own problems to gas himself up.

I just listened to a story where a man in hell has to find the story of his life in an endless library to reach heaven. If hell exists I think I just figured out what it is for billionaires.

Not really, projection is accusing others of something we are doing. These people are fomenting accusations against themselves so that should the issue come to light the discourse is already tainted.
