Yes, I know we have problems enough at home but goddammit, what the ever-loving-fuck is wrong with people?

Im disgusted on a personal, humane level. This guy was not armed, he was not threatening, he was fucking TALKING. Sorry, but this really upsets me. Its getting hard to live in this world.

This video is VERY disturbing. Click at your on discretion.
