    The amount of delusion required to think that going on holiday in Crimea at this time is a good idea is just beyond me

      Just obliviousness, I had a friend walk past a cup with a shouldered carbine (into the line of fire) once cause he was just so distracted.

      Granted, this was in the US so seeing a cop with a shouldered carbine next to the parking lot isn’t suuuper unusual.

        I mean still unusual for most areas of US. Only time I’ve seen the police carbine irl is when a veteran in my college dorm had a mental breakdown and holed up in his room with a gun. He ended up getting arrested peacefully enough but idk about follow up. This was before mass school shootings were so prevalent. His roommate was also a schizophrenic who stopped taking his meds and also dropped out. Shame for both because they were decent acquaintances otherwise.
