NYC residents are being robbed of their Bitcoin!

[leopard2]

FWIW It's very difficult to get a gun permit in NY and you're not allowed to bring them to the city unless you're a PO or similar.

How come? I thought the supreme court had that bolshevist antigun bullshit fixed in D.C.

Why does that ruling not apply to NY

Easy fix. Open carry and trade in a public place with lots of cameras. Criminals are stupid but they aren't that stupid.

Since NY citizens don't have the same rights as normal people (and can't carry the tools required to protect themselves), I suggest they trade in the police station lobby.

The gif is funny

Anyways it's quite easy to avoid these circumstances , just deal in a public place and don't carry much in single wallet
But if you're out of luck , you will get robbed anyway

By the looks of it that guy had his femoral artery or vein slashed and is bleeding out all over his leg and the ground. I wouldn't consider that funny at all. I honestly hope the guy lived...

But it really is fine as how blood pops out after sometime and by the way how the hell does that robber do it

[koelen3]

Femoral artery?!!!  Geez way to take a gif WAAYYYYY out of context, dude!  

The guy is clearing pissing himself, touching his wallet with pee, and touching the dollars in the wallet with pee, thus disgusting the robber in the process.

Hahahahha
No no! though that was good one , but he is not peeing ,that is blood

I agree, he wouldn't stay upright bleeding that fast.

Fermoral artery is the main artery which gives blood to your lower body , and if that is cut , the blood will actually come like a fountain and pretty fast

There are a lot of obvious solutions. Namely well populated, open areas with good lighting. It doesn't hurt bringing a friend along as well. Or simply meet at the police station.

Like you say, prevention is always better. Possibly, with so much media attention, bitcoin sellers will take these simple precautions.

Despite popular redneck belief, having a gun on you does not render your soft, fleshy body immune to tiny bits of metal accelerated to deadly velocity.

The only way to be safe(r) from gun violence is to wear one of these everywhere you go:



Some relevant facts:





 In other news, angels aren't real. Surprise!

Are guns illegal in GB?

[Beliathon]

No no! though that was good one , but he is not peeing ,that is blood

If it were blood, it would appear blackish on the ground, not clear like the urine it obviously is. Wet pants look darker than dry pants. Enough about this fucking gif.

Okay! whatever it may be
Who cares!
Wait! the guy dipped the money in his urine and gave it to him
LMAO

[Beliathon]

Wait! the guy dipped the money in his urine and gave it to him

Yes, that did happen. Delicious urine money, yet another reason to use bitcoin

[oldbute]

Are you rednecks done denying reality yet, or do you need more factual ass-whooping? Maybe if you pray hard enough, cowboy jesus will descend from heaven and shoot me down with his pearly white colt .45.

Probably not though.

How many of those people deserved to die? Lot of this is likely from gang violence. I don't have facts for it but assuming US has much higher gang population and gang violence.  Gun control won't change that, we have printable guns now.  Facts and statistics don't matter though, the people for gun control are already convinced.  People that want the choice to own a gun don't give a shit, it's not about statistics, something else ingrained in ancestry, history, freedom of choice.  The idea to concede something they can use responsibly because of accidents, idiots and criminals doesn't sit well.

[Beliathon]

How many of those people deserved to die?

I'm not the type of sociopathic asshole that believes he has a right to decide who deserves to die. I'll leave that up to the redneck southern judges and politicians.

Lot of this is likely from gang violence.

Yeah, because everyone knows Oklahoma and Wyoming have countless roving bands of deadly gangs.  

I don't have facts for it

Obviously.

but assuming US has much higher gang population and gang violence.  Gun control won't change that

Gun control is proven to reduce gun deaths. Why are you assuming random bullshit, by the way?

we have printable guns now.

Who's we? The tiny handful of geeks with 3D printers? Yeah, they are a real menace to society. Are these the same folks in your imaginary gangs?

Facts and statistics don't matter though

Clearly not to you.

the people for gun control are already convinced.

Facts and statistics tend to have that effect.

People that want the choice to own a gun don't give a shit

That's why we have prisons, which is not to say that I'm a fan of prisons. But I'm even less of a fan of entitled american gun nuts and the near-constant shooting sprees they enable with their ignorance.

[neurotypical]

Probably they meet in a quiet area, if you do the exchange IRL dont do it in a small street like in movies, meet in mcdonalds or something.

If you think guns only make you less safe then why do we send cops with guns to stop violence? Would our troops be more safe in Afghanistan if they went on patrol unarmed?

I'll take my chances defending myself thank you. Maybe you'll get lucky if you are being attacked and someone nearby will be prepared to do something.

[Beliathon]

If you think guns only make you less safe then why do we send cops with guns to stop violence?

They don't give cops guns to stop violence. Trying to shoot your way to non-violence makes as much sense as trying to fuck your way to virginity. They give cops guns to ensure that violence continues to be monopolized by the state, for the interests of the state. Cops are expendable to the state, that's why the reward for an NYPD officer who has been shot is a paltry $10,000. How much do you think that reward would be if you shot a congressman or other important millionaire? The elite doesn't give a shit about some random cop any more than they do about you, that tiny amount of money is just for show. The state has no interest in stopping violence, capitalism could not exist for one hour without systematic hierarchy-based violence. The state is very interested in controlling how that violence is directed, however.

By the way, most industrialized nations don't miliarize the police the way the United States does. We're unique in our gun-obsession, just like we're unique in our prison population and our lack of universal health care. If you want to understand American politics, you only need to follow the money. The US gun industry is a 32 billion dollar industry. You associate guns with liberty because you have been programmed to since you were a small child. You were programmed to love guns because a handful of very powerful rich people profit enormously from your ignorance. Same reason Americans love their cheeseburgers and other mass-produced garbage fastfood, that kind of food is much more profitable than fruits and vegetables.

Would our troops be more safe in Afghanistan if they went on patrol unarmed?

Our troops would be a hell of a lot safer if they weren't in Afghanistan. Unfortunately for them, they are expendable assets just like police officers. It is deeply concerning (but not surprising) that a gun owner such as yourself doesn't understand the distinction between civilians on home soil and military personnel in a foreign war zone.

Lol! you know Delicious doesn't fit there at all right ?

I'm not afraid of my government or the cops. Hell, my guns are better than their low bid firearms. I do not feel oppressed by capitalism and I think it works better than other systems.  For example I am trusted to carry a gun, speak out against the government, vote for my leaders. It's far from utopia, but never in human history have people had it as good as we do.

Of course there is a distinction between war and crime. But both situations use firearms to fight firearms. Anyone who thinks you don't need a gun has been watching to many movies.

So again, I'll stick to what I know works. I fully support anyone's right to risk it without a gun. But I would not do that. I'm going home tonight.

You could have the best, fanciest gun in the world and you'd be just as dead if a bullet from the shittiest, cheapest gun struck one of your vital organs.

I do not feel oppressed by capitalism

Great for you, check your privilege.

It's [capitalism] far from utopia, but never in human history have people had it as good as we do.

You sure about that? Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the United States (18% of U.S. population). 1 in 10 Americans is clinically depressed. 1 in 4 college students are depressed.

The United States is today almost certainly the most mentally ill society in the history of the world.

Anyone who thinks you don't need a gun has been watching to many movies.

You must be joking. Hollywood glorifies gun culture like mad!

So again, I'll stick to what I know works.

You'll stick to what you believe works while ignoring overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I'll stick to an evidence-based existence.

"(...) there are 3 to 5 gun deaths per 100,000 in the bottom five gun ownership states, while there are 17 to 20 gun deaths per 100,000 in the top five gun ownership states. These statistics provide a great deal of evidence that gun ownership levels in a state correlate with gun deaths, and prove that the gun lobby’s argument of universal gun ownership is simply a fantasy."

I feel like Beliathon is a troll. He ignores facts and pull them out of his ass to strengthen his weak argument.
view the facts for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States_by_state
The highest gun deaths by far is 16.5 in the state, and gun ownership is only 3.6%.
Hmm, less guns equals more gun deaths, sounds like a good plan lets remove all guns.
Stop making things up Beliathon.

You are correct RodeoX. Capitalism IS the best system, is communism working well in Russia right now? Which is the best country in the world? The USA. Canada is also rated among the best as well, and both of these use capitalism and have some of the least poverty rates.
Capitalism works if YOU work

[Beliathon]

You are correct RodeoX. Capitalism IS the best system, is communism working well in Russia right now?

Russia is a capitalist oligarchy.

Which is the best country in the world? The USA.

That's adorable. You remind me of this blonde girl from the Newsroom.

America is the best in only three categories:

-Number of incarcerated citizens per capita
-Number of adults who believe angels are real
-Military expenditure

it looks that just happened one time,the thread is so sensationalist
