Dear consumer: do not operate this motor vehicle while experiencing emotion

edit: I’ve updated the title as I’ve discovered more information: a credible death threat isn’t quite the same as attempted murder

    …was pretty fucking scary. So was not being able to shoot after getting pepper spray in my eyes

    Now is a good time to learn from the misfortune of others: if you’re armed at a protest, then you’ve taken on the responsibility of protection, either just for yourself or for others as well. It is therefore your duty not to be disabled by something as common as pepper spray. Get some goggles and don’t go up front without em.

      Not the OP, but since the post is a picture I’m going to make a guess that the meant they couldn’t shoot pictures, not shoot a firearm. Given the fact they’re calling the vehicle a ute and it has non-US plates, I think I’d go further and say that it’s extremely unlikely that the person is armed with a firearm.
