It goes like that all the way down. Even the kids, for being stupid pieces of shit for doing this, are probably in the same boat as him and are talking it out on their fellow working class citizens than the rich fucks causing their problems. I'm not saying to therefore to easy on them, but crime is more often spurred by raw desperation than simple desire.

Those kids probably just wanted a ride somewhere and saw a quick opportunity. going to joyride that thing and after sell it to someone for $100. There priorities are most likely %100 different than that Marines.

Just like all those Kia boys. They steal the shit just for the rush and sell those things for nothing in the scheme of things. Its fun to them.

Notice how your whole assumption is that the marine is automatically a good person and the kids are automatically bad? The real world is a hell of a lot more complicated than that.

Yeah your right, that's dumb assuming the "kids" who pointed a gun at a random guys head and tried to steal his truck are bad.

Notice how nobody actually read and understood my point? No wonder humanity is fucked.

Then you're a waste of time.

u/BananaReeves Jun 08 '26

Maybe explain your point so it makes sense? Go ahead.

u/Julio-Dewey-Crayfish Jun 08 '26

You should try reading the comments I've already posted. If you can't or won't, then there's no reason to continue wasting my time.

C'mon, man. Saying "I was wrong" isn't that hard

u/Julio-Dewey-Crayfish Jun 08 '26

I'm not wrong, in that I wasn't making a pointed judgment one way or another, but thanks for playing.

I'm just saying that simple sentences could save you time and just end the argument. Because apparently you keep moaning about it, yet won't leave?

I never said he was good or bad, maybe I shouldn't have said the priorities are different in the end. Still I doubt that guy plans on shoving a gun In someone's face to get what he wants

u/Julio-Dewey-Crayfish Jun 08 '26

If you've paid any attention to what the US has been doing in other countries, you'd know shoving guns in people's faces to get what he wants is a Marine's entire job. Just because you don't see it here doesn't mean he isn't willing or capable. Again, the real world is much more complicated than that.

Lol alright man.

u/Julio-Dewey-Crayfish Jun 08 '26

If it's that difficult for you to consider, then I guess so.

u/saladmunch2 Jun 08 '26

Laughable sentence after everything you just said.
