Steve HermanPolice in El Paso, #Texas say a tourist from #Kentucky thought her #Uber driver was abducting her when she saw a highway sign indicating they were approaching #Mexico. So she shot him. He died. https://www.elpasotexas.gov/assets/Press-Releases/Police/2023/06-June/Update-to-shooting-on-54.pdf

Pamela@w7voa Texas gun laws meet Kentucky wack-a-doo; results in the death of someone just doing their job??? What a fu..ked place!
ADHDeanASL@w7voa “Stupid should hurt” doesn’t take into account that it usually hurts the people *around* the stupid ones.
Anne Ominous@w7voa people with guns think everything is a threat.
they are trained to think that way.

Zhi Zhu 🕸️This kind of senseless violence is what happens when #FoxNews and #GOP propaganda creates overwhelming #fear coupled with easy access to #guns.

If you create enough fear in people, they eventually become violent. If those fear-filled people have access to guns, that violence becomes deadly. This is the #America that #Republicans apparently want.

@w7voa So that person presumably moved their weapon across states?
WTF?!!???
Spocko@w7voa when I saw this story I physically flinched. I never do that, but this just caught me off guard. The stupidity, the paranoia and the recklessness to legally allow guns everywhere for almost everyone.
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘@w7voa America, you are living in fear of your fellow citizens. Imho fear that the other person has a gun is behind a lot of gun violence, and I include Police in that. When you fear the other person may shoot you, it's easy to decide to shoot them first before they have the chance.
The solution is to not have an armed population.

Hot Cross Buns@w7voa Part of this stems from the Reefer Madness level of "sex trafficking" paranoia the media gladly assists law enforcement and evangelicals in pumping, when in reality trafficking is a grossly inflated problem used as cover to arrest sex workers. She probably believed in Pizzagate, the Wayfair nonsense, all of it.
SteveBologna@w7voa Lock her ass up forever
Julia Bricklin@w7voa this is what an overgunned, undereducated (or non-educated) populace looks like. Just what autocrats love.
suneater@w7voa imagine this in the Schengen area
Alex@w7voa arming stupid people. Welcome to America.
Dennis Faucher 
@w7voa That's just horrible. Uber/Taxi drivers are possibly in danger with every person they pick up.
