Wish there was footage. Seeing the secret service surround the driver sounds cool
Yes getting into an accident and then immediately surrounded by aggressive machines of death pointed at you... Sounds like a blast
He said to see the footage. Not to be the guy driving. More of you need to think 5 minutes before actually writing a comment.
It's the same thing. You want to see someone be terrorized versus someone being terrorized. Americans are fucking stupid.
Have you watched tv lately. Someone gets terrorized in like every show/movie. It's want humans want to see apparently.
Idiot
So do you never watch modern action movies then? Or even just the daily news? Wanting to see how something happened doesn't mean you want it to happen again or at all, but knowing how it happened can prevent it from happening again.
Yes, as a whole, we are, but in this situation, the only one who's stupid, is the person who's saying, "close your eyes and cover your ears and it doesn't exist."
Edit: All these chucklechodes hyper-fixating on the example I used instead of what I was saying. Not wanting to see something on the principal of 'it's bad' is the height of ignorance. Instead, you watch so you can learn from something. In this case, someone discouraging review of the incident, sets a tone of incompetent malpractice that is the exact reason why this world is the way it is.
Some of us Americans can separate entertaining fiction from horrific reality.
Gotta admit it's getting more difficult by the day
Probably by, you know, comparison...
