There is this Canadian video game speedrunner I watch who was invited to AGDQ in Washington DC and he is scared to even cross the border because he thinks he will be injured and have his life ruined by our healthcare system.

It's like visiting a Third World country where the government is more likely to hurt you than protect you.
Remember the British professor who was mobbed by three-four NY Police Officers for Jay-Walking, then HE was dragged before a Judge?
In the UK that would have been thrown out for the nature of the arrest, and the cops would be up for disciplinary.

"Zero Tolerance" is the dumbest idea in the history of mankind.

Re: Zimmerman not guilty.
Can't agree. Too many dumb ideas from too many cultures for me to agree with that claim.

He is a scumbag, we all know that.
Also, I've been living here my entire life and have yet to been shot.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Re: Zimmerman not guilty.
If he's going into DC proper, maybe not.
Let me get this straight. The police decided the best place to serve a warrant on an armed individual was in a neo-natal ward? Dahmer proved that Milwaukee cops weren't exactly the brightest, but, really?!?

Re: Zimmerman not guilty.
I agree, and I have told him that more than twice that he will be fine as long as he just exercises common sense, but he says he can't imagine having to stay out of certain areas for a given time period because in Canada you can walk anywhere you want at any time and feel safe. Sure dude, sure.

Hollywood is to blame.

Re: Zimmerman not guilty.
I disagree. Ignorance is to blame.
If you choose to let movies dictate your worries and novels undercut your faith or news broadcasts dictate your thinking.....the problem is not the purveyor of the pablum but the person spooning it in.

Re: Zimmerman not guilty.
Oh no, we're well aware that Hollywood isn't real. If it were we might actually be rabid fanboys shouting USA and think the whole US government consists of marines, FBI, CIA and a few fighter pilots.
No. We get rather more than you seem to be aware of. Like this. Choice excerpt:

Well, at least you can buy a gun to defend yourself from the state. Or can you only rent one as a tourist?
How does that work anyway?
