Good way to shot. This clearly isn't in the south US

Imagine living in a country where "good way to get shot" is a normal turn of phrase and not absolutely appalling.

Or run over in the rest of the world. I might not have a gun, but I do have a right foot and a gas pedal.

Almost the entire rest of the world would automatically assume it's a fake gun and enjoy the well known and well made costume.

It's pretty much only America where "LETHAL FORCE IS NOW MY ONLY OPTION" is a normal line of thought.

I don't want to use deadly force, but if you're coming at me with a gun, demanding cash? Then I'll try to get away, and if you're standing in front of the car, then I can't guarantee that I'll be able to avoid you.

Even when they're clearly dressed as an extremely well known Disney character?

I'm not saying that I would be aiming at the guy, but I could understand if somebody was going to floor it to escape the possibility of a car jacking or murder attempt.

With an airsoft gun, since it has a red tip. Maybe he shouldn't point it at a person, but still - people are too sensitive.

video about guy threatening with fake gun gets his change

US is so triggerhappy, no other country will have the same

You are trying way too hard brother. Calm down. Its not that you dont know shit, but you dont care to make sensibly nuanced statements.

Street performers treat audience members differently. I bet he keeps the toy gun holstered for randos, however once someone's entertained by the bit and recording, he can make a robbery joke.
