No wonder the daughter leaves the house without his permission or knowledge. Hes a fucking lunatic.
Probably not an amazing parent if his 13yo daughter is sneaking out to do God knows what. I get being upset, but I’m sure you could talk to the Uber driver or God forbid your own daughter to figure out where she’s been.
Some gun owners look for any reason to use their gun. Smh.
Send these idiots off to fight a war. They will have all the chances to use their gun. most will probably be better off used as sandbags
Most gun owners look to never have to use their weapons for those purposes. Most of us have a family to protect and police response time is garbage.
That’s right. That’s exactly what this guy did. Just “protecting his family”
Not what I said buddy but okay lmao.
Well that’s what you wrote. “Most of us have a family to protect and police response time is garbage.”
He wasnt doing this. This comment wasnt towards the article. The guy in the article is completely in the wrong.
Do you actually need their point of view explained to you or are you purposely trolling?
I’m honestly asking because I can’t tell at all.
Rational conversation is impossible in threads like this so don’t even bother. It’s a nonstop circlejerk of over generalizations and name calling.
I think my favorite comment in this one so far is “When you have a gun, especially a “manly” gun like an AR-15, you start having intrusive thoughts and desire to use it.”
Really? They really think that owning a gun magically gives the owner intrusive throughts and desires to use it against people? Forget who they are or how good their character might be, apparently anyone who owns a firearm will struggle with newfound urges to murder people. That’s news to me, I guess that commentor knows myself better than I do.
And before someone takes this non anti-gun comment and frames it as support the dude’s actions in the original article, I’ll clearly state that I don’t agree with what he did and he should probably face criminal charges. Pulling a gun on someone’s only acceptable if they’re moments away from murdering or seriously harming someone.
Most of these people are just comfortable of letting another man do what they cant for their wife but if they’re into that thats fine too. Obviously the article is not justified. The dude deserves punishment
I wish more people understood that violent crime happens and responsibly protecting your family, and knowing what that means and how to really do it, is a very sensible thing to do.
I also wish that our people in general were smarter, wealthier, and less stressed out so that violent crime and firearm accidents would diminish. That would take actual social reform though, which is way harder and less catchy than “ban things ban things!”
Can ban all the guns and there will still be guns. I know people forget about this a lot but I lived in Baltimore, gun trafficking/illegal gun sales were super common.
was the driver…non-white perhaps?
The driver was actually “Exotic Oil Slick Rainbow” according to their tech specs.
Gorgeous
Not sure. But for all the talk about how antiwoman these people are they are pretty antiman too and assume any man is a danger to them. Would help us a lot of we looked at it that way, but we don’t.
I grew with a even more extreme version of this guys demographic. I can assure you anyone not white, male and christian is the enemy.
Anyone perceived to be “other”.
Today that’d also include anyone white they somehow determine as “woke” I guess. In the 60s/70s it would have been hippies.
Being anti-woman isn’t enough for you all?
Nah, see, the way they see it, that Uber driver isn’t a human being
You just clinched your interview for Uber upper management
Its a strange kidnaper that drops their victim off at home.
Naper.
He crossed the line from protector to posseser is my wild guess. What a weirdo.
The young female was still in the vehicle when she saw her father run up to the driver with an AR-15 in hand and force him to the ground, according to an arrest report.
Hollonbeck admitted to his actions and said he was “afraid for his daughter’s safety and didn’t know who she was with or that she had left without permission,” according to the report.
Oh, well if he didn’t know then it’s perfectly understandable to point a gun at an underpaid taxi driver.
I thought pointing guns at people who you thought wanted to sleep with your daughter was something out of bad jokes and old movies. Apparently not.
I had a old Co worker who told this story… When he was a teenager/early 20s he had several guns and was a member of the gun range. One day he went shooting and came home. Like a good gun owner started cleaning his guns when there was a knock on the door.
He held the shot gun he was holding over his should, several more from pistols to rifles on the table and answered the door.
Unknown to him his younger sister had a first date that night, and he was here to pick her up. Needless to say she was home before curfew and was a complete gentleman to her.
boomer ass story, bud.
Oh, you sweet summer child…
I genuinely can’t tell if this is satire or not
Most people don’t interpret satire well and this man is the current governor of Georgia.
Real life is satire now days
This is why it’s so important to have AR’s at arms reach, who knows how this situation could have ended up had he not been armed.
Presumably she’s old enough to have a phone and order an Uber. I’m guessing the the father’s taking the phone away (nothing she did).
This is what happens when you aren’t the type of adult or parent a kid can trust or have faith in. Hopefully the kid doesn’t go down the wrong path because of this behavior.
You can take the guns out of the picture and it’s still shitty. You will never reach a friend or person by acting like this.
Hope he learns and understands and is able to move on.
Bruh put a gun in a man’s face. He ain’t learnin shit.
I guarantee you the ar-15 owner is a Fox News watcher. It would explain his paranoia and fear of strangers.
After other recent rideshare initiatives, I propose they introduce a “no white women” option for men of color. Dead ass.
I think you need to word it better, call it the “I don’t want to deal with your crazy racist shithead father (who ruins every Thanksgiving) running out with a gun when I drop you off mode”
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. In the South this is still a legitimate safety issue. America is a racist shithole
He’s probably being downvoted because his argument seems too similar to the flawed argument that women should have their clothing choices restricted because some men can’t control themselves. It seems like a form of victim blaming/punishing.
That was not the argument at all, and your assessment is so far out of left field that I’m not entirely sure you actually read it. Seeing how calling out racism was removed as racism, I won’t revisit it, though.
Every definition of the word conservative leads back to fear, afraid and terrified.
And the local trough feeders statement, “I think it’s a case of being an overprotective parent to some extent, Sheriff Johnson said"
Oh, I get it now. THAT’S why we need to be able to own assault rifles.
Also remember kids, if someone voluntarily signs up to get paid to go kill people, they’re not to be revered, they are mercenaries.
muriccaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Y’know, everything else aside it is profoundly inappropriate for rideshare contractors to be driving unaccompanied minors. They are not background checked at all the same way taxi drivers need to be. I’m kind of shocked uber allows it and that drivers feel comfortable with it. Obviously first and foremost this is an incredibly irresponsible (and dangerous to society) parent but holy shit, a rideshare corporation go ahead is not adequate for a kid to get into a strangers car.
Ok, it didn’t sit right with me (still doesnt) so I looked up how the heck this is even allowed. Turns out Uber in their infinite wisdom is allowing teens 13-17 to make uber profiles in select cities. Personally I am far from ok with that BUT, I did find out some relevant information. Turns out you can only create an uber account as a teen if the account is linked to a guardians uber account that gives you permission, and gives notifications and live trip tracking to that guardian. So this absolute clown is either lying or when his kid went missing he reached for his gun before and without reaching for his phone and actually checking his notifications to see if his parent tracking stuff knew anything about where his kid was, or maybe a friends parents knew where she was or even the police. Nope, just got the gun even though he would have had to have known his kid had an uber account and that he had access to its tracking.
Look, anyone who jumps to threatening deadly force without first having their own life threatened is making multiple layers of mistakes. They’re the aggressor in that situation.
