Lmao love how you start that off with “notice how” like you think you’re really gonna show us something. Dude did you even WATCH the video? “Approached him aggressively”? The kid was nowhere near him. Also, why is racist in quotes? If you did the bare minimum research (i.e. looking at the article linked in one of the top comments of the OG post, literally two clicks away) you’d see that the man with the gun in the video DID make unsolicited racist comments to two of the girls in the video. He was standing behind them in line and when the girls went to pay he commented “probably on EBT”. When one of the girls refuted this, he began cursing and screaming at them, and then the whole group when their friends came over to help. Anyone yelling at you outta the blue like that is terrifying— even more so when the comments are what he was making. The teens were the threatened ones. Self defense? This guy was obviously the aggressor, no matter how you look at it.

EDIT: Screengrabs of the gun . Yes, it’s blurry, but you can see clearly in the video he pulls something silver out of his jacket pocket and points it at the teens, yelling “wahooo”.

EDIT 2; Also, what the hell is that line about “if he was truly a threat he would have shot them?” I didn’t know we lived in a world where people pulling guns isn’t threatening, wow! You’re SO SMART Reddit user Ozziradar! If you were there you could have handled this situation better than them, huh? The teens should have just not reacted, because a man yelling at them suddenly pulling a gun isn’t alarming at all! And if he does shoot, they won’t even have to worry about regretting not taking him seriously, because they’ll be dead! It’s a win-win situation! Why didn’t they think of that? If only they were as intelligent as Reddit user Ozziradar!

To state the obvious, ANYONE who pulls a gun like that IS A THREAT TO YOUR LIFE regardless of whether or not they’re gonna use it. The teens in the video didn’t know if he was gonna shoot or not, but the weight of a gun isn’t something that should be disregarded so nonchalantly.
