I've literally never had anybody in my life experience multiple riots, lock downs due to a crazed gunman shooting up his black neighbor and people crashing, burning and dieing in their yard probably due to drunk driving EVER, until I made some American friends. Visiting them was also a trip, fuck they're paranoid, and honestly I'm not even surprised. You people have police officers stationed at SCHOOLS for crying out loud, how more fucked can it get?!? If I was forced to live in the states I'd also go fucking crazy.

I used to get so angry at posts like this. I was an absolute idiot back then. How the hell is this the reality we've allowed to be created around us?
