FIFTY FIVE people shot in a week. In a first world country.

Honestly I don't care what the situation is like, this is why the rest of the world thinks your gun laws are fucking stupid.

Well here’s a thought, most of these shootings are by people who aren’t even allowed to have guns and got them illegally. Most law abiding gun owning citizens will go their whole lives never shooting anybody, but guess who don’t care much about laws? The people doing the shootings.

Don't bother - the rest of the world is resentful and angry at America because they only ever hear bad news.

Most of them are not properly educated on how much they depend on the US. The US is almost exclusively depicted in a negative way and blamed for stuff, while the US is almost never depicted in a positive way and given its due credit. A lot of them directly link their view of their own individual countries to their view of the US as a point of contrast. Because they see things along those lines, and because they want to depict themselves as being superior to the US, they must as a matter of necessity see the US in an unrealistically negative way.

A lot of hate they have for the US is not only a product of their ignorance of their dependence on the US, it's also because of their dependence on the US. They take the US for granted and many of those that are aware of their dependence on the US still hate the US because playing second fiddle to the US stings their pride.

I like how they come to an American site to spew their American hate.

Always! I never understood it until a few years ago an insightful gentleman sat me down and explained that there are people out there who are just not happy unless they are unhappy, or better yet they are spreading their unhappiness to others. That's how they get fulfillment out of life and that's what they like to do. Once I got it suddenly things made a great deal more sense.

If they actually hated us, they'd avoid using our sites. But they're not interested in that - they want to spread unhappiness. And if that sounds small, petty, and pathetic to you - you're absolutely right. But that's the world we live in. We were better off being disconnected from one another and living in our own countries.

55 shootings, 74 wounded. Didnt say anyone was killed. Id be curious to see what the stats were in the weeks leading up to them disbanding the unit. 2020 has been a very different year than 2019.

I thought America wasn't a first world country? Didn't you revoke our status quite some time ago? We're not civilized, we're a barbaric shithole third world country that you would never set foot in?

So did you just pretend that didn't happen and re-promote us to first world status just so you could take a big shit on us again?

This kind of garbage is why nobody in America cares, or even cares to know, what the rest of the world thinks. "Hey I'm from a country you need to zoom in to notice, with population of few million, and I know all about USA but ignorant Americans don't know anything about me!" It's like getting offended Drake doesn't know about you even though you know about him.

Oh hey yeah, or maybe there's more than one person on the entire internet and they don't agree on everything like that.

Also this

Also great example of a celebrity, the guy who's more famous for being a meme than whatever he thinks he's actually famous for, that people must bump into on the street daily and have no fucking clue who he is.
