Teen pizza delivery driver shot at multiple times after parking in the wrong driveway

We've turned into a nation of cowards. Just completely craven people who shoot first and ask questions later because the news has made them terrified that they'll be murdered in their beds, despite violent crime being historically low, comparatively speaking.

As a late night cab driver, if you're ever wondering why I'm on the street rather than the driveway in your sketchy, pickup truck filled suburban neighborhood, this is why.

Give me a shady looking industrial district or run down residential neighborhood over semi-rural suburbia any day of the week. I feel much safer.

"So there I was, watching Fox News on one TV, NewsMax on another, dick in hand of course - I'm an alpha you see. And I see this dude trying to steal my freedoms. I ran after him, and I heard him say something woke. It was either "Sorry - wrong house" or "I want to rape your wife and abort the baby". I couldn't tell which. Of course I had my blue steel beauty in the hand I wasnt using to rub one out - so I started blasting...."

Huffing Right-Wing media all day turning people extremely paranoid for no actual reason.

Babcock told police what he could see on his Ring camera made him think someone was breaking into his car, so he went outside and started shooting.

Turns out your life is not in danger of someone is breaking into your car and it is not legal to shoot at them. I'm guessing this dipshit considers himself a responsible gun owner.

What the fuck are these people so scared of that they start blasting folk for pulling into their driveway? This seems to keep happening and nobody ever thinks to check up on the mf who almost blasted a delivery driver who got the wrong address? Forget just charging the dude with attempted murder, can we search the house and take away firearms from somebody so clearly irresponsible that they can't distinguish a genuine threat from an imagined one?

If the second amendment won't allow that to happen, then the amendment needs to be re-written.

It may be in the constitution, but I doubt the founding fathers envisaged that you'd all be such fuckwits.

$50k bond for almost killing the delivery driver. Bullet hole upper part of the driver door for assuming that the truck was being stolen.

Either he hates dominos or his wife cheated on him with a delivery driver.

Maybe some gun nut can help me with this. If the teen had, say an AR15 because he was concerned about running into some wild hogs. If he ducked down and started firing back in a clearly self defense situation, would he fine in doing this?

Or does it depend on the color of his skin?

The ONLY ONLY ONLY way to Prevent this is to make sure TEENAGE DELIVERY DRIVERS shoot at every home they pull up in before getting out!

Please make sure this fuckhead is never allowed to touch a firearm for the rest of his life. And give him a few years in a secluded spot to think about what he did wrong.

Sincerely,

Responsible Gun Owners

This fucking country. 🤦‍♂️

Thank goodness for living in a civilized country where things like that simply don't happen.

Holy shit you guys need some serious help.

Tennessee again. Goddamn, Tennessee what the living fuck is happening over there?

And pizza delivery drivers continue to be pretty badass.

I get angry enough that a cop pulling me over for speeding carries a gun, or that every emergency call needs to be responded to by jackbooted, militarized thugs when less than 15% ever involve violence. I can't imagine living in a country where every scared little baby had easy access to firearms.

The thin bread line will always be more dangerous than the blue one

Not an American, but I really don't get these stories. It has to be legal to enter somebody's driveway, right? How else are you supposed to ring someone's doorbell?

Trespassing isn't established until you've been told to leave and don't do so (hence why we have no trespassing signs), the shooter had no right to fire shots at this guy. He should go straight to prison.

Found the mugshot. Looks like the kind of chud who’s scared of his own shadow. Fucking asshole

If I were that boys dad, Hell hath no furry like what I would do to that shooter.

only one way I can comment this

My friend tells me that her in-laws in rural Missouri are cutting holes into the walls to hide guns so they are prepared for attacks from antifa.

Psychotic behavior. I agree with the victim: this lunatic should be charge with attempted murder.

ETA: and be forbidden from ever owning firearms.

What the fuck is wrong with some Americans

The absolute state of the United States. Jesus christ

Totally normal. Not brain damage at all. 😐

Me: * checks to make sure this wasn't Georgia *

Me: "Tennessee, thank God... oh and the delivery driver wasn't killed, that's good too."

I'm not American and I'll never understand your fascination with guns.

But to me the important aspect is the driver was already moving away when shot at, or immediately did so once shooting began.

Surely this invalidates any self defense claim? If you shoot and they retreat, you stop shooting, right?

They want cash tips, not hollow tips

The "castle doctrine" and everyone who's misunderstanding it is reminding me a LOT of a "localized purge" - been watching the first 2-3 films lately and season 1 (surprisingly good) and it's chilling to see the real state of the US these days. Used to be my favourite travel destination in the 90s, then still a great place to go for business trips in the 2000s - but never again will I set foot on that unholy land where every insane person can get a gun and murder you on the spot and will likely get away with it.

Are people just itching to use their guns or something? What the fuck

Fucking mouth-breathing vermin...

Its not that he thinks that this is normal behaviour, its that so many Americans think that this is normal behaviour.

So many things are wrong with this country. I'm so sick of these "I have a tiny peepee and I want to make up for it" fucks.

Today, two strangers knocked on my door. They were there to spread some bullshit or another, didn't really care. Told them to go away, which they did.

I really hope that this situation is the norm, and that the news headline is the outlier. But at this point I'm not sure.

I read the interview and this dude seems surprisingly chill after a guy tried to kill him.

All home delivery services can be suspended. Like the Amazon guy, the UPS guy, the mailman, the pizza guy, nobody is coming to your door anymore pretty soon. It's only takes a few quacks for this kind of thing.

what a goddamn shithole

Clearly we should arm delivery drivers with frag grenades.

What a culture!

I’m so glad I live in Massachusetts. Feels like the last bastion of sanity.

I wonder, does his homeowner insurance cover the damage? Do you go through your insurance?

‘MURICA!!

That is the american way

You can get the death penalty for a lot of things in the United States.

If you don’t wanna get shot, don’t have a job.

Edit: /s, but I thought that was obvious.

Leave Trump out of this! /s
