I meant I-80 West, my bad.

This is pretty bad, even for Reddit. I got over 1k downvotes yesterday and a slew of personal insults because I didn't think property theft and idle threats from a homeless person were a good enough reason to stab them to death. Compassion is in short supply right now.

I don't agree with it, but I am really sorry these people died from the heat while participating in a ritual that was personally and socially very important to them. None of them deserved that.

Good God. If you catch someone robbing your car and they say "I have a gun" it's either an idle or a serious threat. But it is a threat, nonetheless, which is not the same as "I'm going to shoot you now!". Why would someone say that and then shoot you as you leave? They WANT you to leave, that's the whole reason they said that. Why the hell would someone do something so ridiculously dangerous as this? "This guy says he has a gun. The best thing to do is charge him and stab him and hopefully I won't get shot in the process." That's like some stupid shit you do in video game. Alrighty, I'm gonna take my downvotes and call it day. If anyone wants to rob my stuff just say you have a gun, because I'm not sticking around to find out.

Are you suggesting he should have waited until a gun was pointed at him to defend himself? That seems silly.

I'm five feet away from you. You say you have a gun. I can: - "wait until a gun was pointed"

• leave and call the cops

• close that five foot distance and bury my pocket knife in you

I'm sorry but one of those sounds way crazier than the others.

Uhhhh, maybe I'm having a mental lapse?

A friend of mine was stabbed to death in his own yard by a homeless person not far from there.

Imagine trying to defend yourself from a rabid homeless man, and the DA is trying you for murder.

Am I misunderstanding? Everyone is replying here as if the student was defending themselves from getting stabbed by a homeless person? The homeless person was caught in the act of burglary, they threatened the student that they had a gun (which we don't actually know if they did or not), then the kid instantly busted out a knife and stabbed the homeless guy to death? Why did the kid have a knife on him? Is telling someone you have a gun enough to be like, "yay, now I can legally stab you!". Just seems like something's not adding up. Edit: hoo boy I struck a Reddit nerve. If I carried a knife and used it on every person that had ever threatened me, I'd have stabbed a bunch of people I never needed to. Guess I better watch what I say to all you pocket knife carriers out there.

Usually theives are somewhat discerning of whom they choose to inflict a crime on. Usually it's someone who appears to be somewhat exploitable at a glance. Odds are a secret service agent, even in plain clothes, would appear to carry themselves as someone you'd... pass on committing a crime against. I just wonder what led this agent to be targeted by petty robbery when the thief could have waited for a more vulnerable target.

Please don't WW3, please don't WW3, please don't WW3.

I've been in a similar situation. On a 55mph highway, I roll up on a police vehicle pulled onto the left shoulder, lights on, with an officer out in the road trying to direct traffic with gestures. I come to a stop and he appears to make a gesture to me that I interpreted as "proceed", but as soon as I started to move forward he flipped out and started screaming at me. I immediately stopped and just threw my hands up, one out the window, trying to indicate to him "I have no idea what you want me to do." After flipping out for a good 30 seconds he does a similar "let's go", gesture and this time I don't move because... well, what just happened. He flips out again because he actually wanted me to go that time.

I just love how half the comments are things that have nothing to do with popularity.

Yeah, I remember when I was in high school, all the cool kids were like, "pfft, you've got a camera on you? Lame.".

This is it. Boundaries are important and about open communication so that each party in a relationship can be up front and honest about their needs. Judging someone else's boundaries is useless. You can either accept them or reject them. If someone is using boundaries as an after-the-fact way of getting what they want, then they are being manipulative.

Yeeeee! My go-to for lunch when I worked in Foster City 15 years ago!!

Wonder how many berries he's worth.

I have the dark green limited edition, my wife calls it "Loki".

The scene from The Excorcist when she climbs down the stairs backwards.

Any time i see a Cybertruck in the wild, which has been at least once a week for a couple months now.

They seem to be referring to the statistic murder rate being majority male.

In regards to sexual assault:

The victimisation rate for female victims (206 victims per 100,000 females) was more than 5 times that of male victims (39 victims per 100,000 males).

This is why there is a focus on protecting women from violence.

"Despite my appearance, I'm not a dog -- I did that because I wanted to."

Yeah the funny thing about that is, losing assets is something you can account for. We sent X of Y asset into some conflict and lost Z of them. It's not tough math. But they're like "wow where did those trillions go, lol, idk shrug emoji"

Sheriff's deputies working cameras at a super market to catch people stealing food? In most municipalities you can't get a cop to come out unless someone is actively being assaulted. That is wild.

Stuffed pastas like ravioli and tortellini are extremely labor intensive. Though amazingly delicious, I'd rather go with a lasagna, which is an order of magnitude easier to make and just as tasty.

Brine your turkey next Thanksgiving and I promise you it will become worth it.
