I don’t think his brain works like that.

That would be the probable outcome in most other countries, regardless of economic development, I think. Then again, the probability of it being a real bomb threat anywhere else is also orders of magnitude smaller.

Sounds like something you do before Thanksgiving dinner while nobody is looking.

On a US lemmy instance and US sub. Everyone else is here as a guest/visitor, I guess?

They are from Japan, so yakuza? They probably just hire local muscle, though.

And then I thought “But why are people shooting each other? Maybe he should have declared a mental health crisis?”
