I was at a red-light once and a homeless guy came up and started doing the "window washing" thing. I legit had no cash on me and tried to shoo him off ineffectually. Suddenly, he gets this scared look and runs off. I look over, and the driver next to me has pulled a pistol and is yelling at the homeless man. The pistol guy then gives me a knowing head nod, the light changed, and I took the first turn I could to take any other route to work.

This guy was waving his gun all around too, pointed it towards me several times while motioning with it for the homeless guy to leave. I own guns, I'm not uncomfortable around them, but it takes a special kind of insane to pull a gun in those circumstances, to settle a minor annoyance.

Also like, I can't fathom the mind of a person who sees threats with a gun as a general solution to problems. So you're annoyed about a guy begging for money, you know what's even more inconvenient? Being fucking homeless and having lunatics threaten you with death in the middle of the street!

America is an asylum without walls.
