Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

    It isn’t to get away with shoplifting. It’s to avoid being executed without even a trial over shoplifting. They’re going to try to kill you no matter what you do in that scenario; might as well try to get out with your life.

    Let me put in a scenario you might understand. Mobsters are regularly jumping in front of cars, shooting the person driving, and then stealing the car. A mobster jumps in front of your car and points a gun at your head. What do you do?
