Couple killed by neighbour for putting snow on his property

[LaLuna 12,732]

I didn't take the OP's advice, and I wish I did. I watched the video and... I'm speechless.

Can we just agree that this isn't about snow though? Mentally stable people don't shoot people over snow. That man was clearly very disturbed.

Hey I’m sorry love, I really didn’t mean to share this to put anyone through watching it. It really is a sad situation all around. Hugs

Honestly, someone just shared this on Facebook and I don’t even want to share the video. I’m shooken up. If you google it you can read more. DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO. This is so ****ed up and so incredibly sad. THIS is why guns need to be banned. 

Yeah I saw it on someones snapchat it is ridiculous, thats why we need better gun laws this dude went back inside and got a dif gun after he already shot them. 

 

Good thing i took my anxitety medication for my PTSD it didnt affect me as much.

Legit, its the few times neighbours interact and it tests and reveals how u truly feel about them

 

For example do u be nice and clean their side as well since ur out or do u ignore it? Is it ok to dump snow onto their lawn if its from their side or do u have to take it back to ur lawn? If u clean their sidewalk is it rude to not also clean the whole driveway? If u decide to be nice and clean driveway is it ok to clean between cars that are parked or is it rude to get that invasive? But if u leave it u did a sloppy job

 

So many grey areas and so many ways to piss your neighbour off if they wanna look for a reason get pissed off. I live for the winter neighbour drama 

Three of my neighbors sometimes clear my driveway with snow blowers.  I also hire a plow service, but their truck broke down completely during the last big snowfall so one of my neighbors spent two days clearing 41 inches of show from my 120-foot long driveway.  I never ask my neighbors to clear my driveway, they just do.  Sometimes I don't see my neighbors clearing my driveway, so I have to ask around to find which one did it so I can thank them.

This is why we need background checks, psychological, and need to ban military and assault weapons

The ban that Bill Clinton's administration implemented did a ton of good  had the Bush admin. not let it expire, gun crimes (especially mass shootings) would be far lower than they are now.

I don't think a total ban is necessary or even feasible but we definitely need some harsh regulations in place.

Also this^ I don't agree with total gun banning either

Make ALL gun crimes a felony

Outlaw certain modifications

Only allow certain clips sizes for civilian use (because you don't need to empty a 30+ round clip for hobby, hunting, or defense)

Waiting times for every gun

Thorough background checks done by law enforcement or an intelligence agency

And most importantly, the same laws in every state. The 2nd amendment applies to each state the same, regulations need to be the same too. That way a person can't take a bump stock fitted AR-15 with a large clip across state lines into a state with tighter restrictions.

I think a lot of these measures would be effective enough. Then we seriously need to ramp up mental illness treatment and screening. Nearly every shooter displays crimson red flags before hurting someone. We need to take those signs seriously.

Great list.  I wish it would all happen.

I fully agree!

I just want to apologize to anyone who watched the video. I really, really didn’t want anyone to watch it. And if you haven’t please, please take my advice and don’t. I just think topics like this are important to remind people how fragile life is, never take your life for granted.  Much love and many, many, many hugs from Canada. 
 

I needed to say this before I log off for the night. I love ya’ll. Take care of yourself. I know a lot of people think I’m annoying or insensitive. I promise you it’s all love. Even when it doesn’t come out right.

Wow. US is a fricking crazy country... How can you all live there? 

 

Unbelieveable.

And it's the way the world is supposed to work, as opposed to the situation in the OP.  I made my post to illustrate that contrast.  I think most people are inclined to help their neighbors.  At least it's been that way in every neighborhood where I ever lived.

Tbh everywhere ive lived (at least here in Canada) neighbours are extremely not close and dont usually help eachother unless its like an old person and they might shuvle for them. 

 

I always shuvle my neighbours because i love the idea of a kind world but most dont do little acts like that. Most ppl never even talk to their neighbours not even their next door neighbour in a semi-detatched or townhouse 

 

God how theres things i miss about the more rural areas like where i used to live in Portugal where everyone knew eachother and were like a family and would always help

 

It hate this me first and selfish world. I actually hate that so much. Why cant ppl be more selfless and have empathy and help others more just to be kind even if it inconviniences you and theres no personal reward?  

 

Also me first attittude is glamorized these days. I swear therapists and tv is always saying stuff like "put your self first", "do whats right for you", "dont let others hold you back" etc. Like i think theres circumstances where thats reasonable (because you do have to think of yourself too and not just othet people) but i think its over emphasized and lowkey i think is a contributing factor to every man for himself culture and i hate that. Of someone needs help even if its a bit of a burden or inconvinience how about thinking of that individual too and not just how better off yourself would be. Say for example taking care of old parents if your able to instead of just stuffing them in a nursing home 

 

sorry rant over

I'm glad you had a nice experience in Portugal.  When I spent two weeks researching my ancestry in the rural villages of northeastern Slovakia, I found the sense of community there truly wonderful.  The people living in that region were poor in material wealth, but were rich in what really matters as human beings.  I met many people there, and all were good and kind, and put people above all else.   I told my wife "I could live here" in those villages that had only a church, a cemetery, a general store, a town office building that had a outhouse for a toilet, and a few houses.  I could live there because of the wonderful people.
