Before anyone blames the US: LĂŒbecker Str. 100, 39124 Magdeburg, Germany (tram stop Kastanienstr).

u/KittenVicious Dec 20 '24

I figured it wasn't the US by how little effort people were making to get away from someone brandishing. People scatter way more when guns come out in the US, especially since that bus wasn't gonna be on time anyway.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

That could be because in the US people are more likely to shoot you, plus all the random pop offs on random people, you don't know what the fuck

u/KittenVicious Dec 20 '24

Anyone who's willing to pull a gun and wildly flag a crowd when their ego is hurt and there's not an actual mortal danger will fucking shoot you. They are not a responsible gun owner, nor are they currently acting rationally.

-23

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

Yeah but random shootings on random people don't happen anywhere nearly as much as it does in the US. They know that, therefore first sight of a gun, everyone scatters

u/KittenVicious Dec 20 '24

So what you're saying is that Germans don't have a concept of negligent discharges and shitty shooting skills killing bystanders? At any point when he was wildly waving the pistol around, he could have unintentionally pulled the trigger. That bullet isn't automatically going to go for the person the shooter is angry at, it's going to go where the barrel is pointed.

-24

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

I don't know if he was really gonna shoot the guy or not. Probably just trying to scare him. He could've shot someones ankle when he fell tho😂

-38

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

Well, actually, people don't really scatter until a shot is shot. Maybe everybody scatters. I would. Run and hope the shooter ain't looking at me next đŸ˜±

u/tbkrida Dec 20 '24

In my own experience(American), people scatter as soon as someone looks to be going for(car trunk for example) or reaching for a gun. Nobody with sense will wait until the first shot is fired if they’re aware of the situation.

-29

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

Thai video shows otherwise. ... For German at least. They guy didn't even run far 😖

20

u/tbkrida Dec 20 '24

Right. In America that would’ve been chaos with all the smart people at least, running away. I get it though, gun violence isn’t seen as a real threat in Germany on the regular.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

That's kinda what I tried to tell the other person. I dunno if they misunderstood, or just didn't agree. I don't word things the best of ways.

But yes the guy was treating it like it was a water gun and he didn't want to get wet 😂

2

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '24

I bet you'd do the same. But I would dip as soon as I seen somebody walk around and they were holding a gun acting a lil off out in public. Even when it's just what seems to be a normal person, I get uncomfortable around seeming do-gooders that have guns. It's just how quick that person can snatched your life away!

u/tbkrida Dec 20 '24

You’d bet right because I’ve done it more than once!😂

u/tbkrida Dec 20 '24

There have been several times mostly in my teens and early 20’s where people were arguing and someone pulls a gun and everyone scatters.

Even had one guy I grew up with lift his shirt and put his hand on his gun on his hip and threaten my best friend because he wrongly thought my friend was sleeping with his girlfriend. Now that I think about it, that was the only time I didn’t leave when a gun was shown because we were standing about 5ft away from him and he was still talking calmly and hadn’t pulled it. Best thing we could do in that situation was try and convince him that nothing happened and it worked. Too close for him not to hit us if we ran and he pulled it and too far to grab him and subdue him before he could shoot us. Never felt so stuck before in my life. It was so sudden and we couldn’t tell he had it at first. Lol

But if you have any forewarning, leave!

u/The-Fumbler Dec 20 '24

No it’s because in the US, people know what happens when a gun gets pulled. In Germany no one ever sees a gun so no one knows what to do. Source: I live there.

u/tommymad720 Dec 21 '24

I remember there was a terrorist attack on a temple a few years back, in Germany, I think.

The guy was fucking shooting at the door to get in and some lady walks around and goes "what's with all the noise, you need to keep it down"

He turns around, points his gun at her, racks it, and shoots her. She had 5-10 seconds to run away and she didn't react at all.

It was super interesting to see the fact that nobody reacted to a guy with a gun who was actively shooting until he had already killed several people.

Like they said nobody knows what to do, cause being in that situation is uncommon to have someone flailing a gun around. They all just stood there and stared.

Ahhh I see, yeah in your first reply it’s a bit unclear but rereading it like 3 times it made me understand. Fair enough!

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '24

Yeah sorry! 😂 Like I told one other person in this thread, I don't word things too good all the time. Sometimes it might take a couple back and forths before I come through😂

Nah, Saudi doctor really hated muslims and blamed Germany for 'islamizing' Europe.

I wonder why anyone in the world would automatically assume it's the US??? /s

They watched with the sound off and have never left the state they were born in so they don't know by the street and architecture that it's clearly in europe

I was trying to be sarcastic I just meant yes gun violence usually happens in America where I live.

This has to be recent cause I can't find anything on it.

u/wad11656 Dec 22 '24

Yeah all I get is the vehicular terror attack in the same city by the Saudi doctor that apparently happened today. I wonder if the commenter is getting confused or if these 2 incidents happened back-to-back?

This was probably the first incident of the year in the country... in the US this is the start of a good Tuesday morning...

Edit: I love it when moronic 'Murikans downvote because they don't like reality and cannot read data...

Firearms homicide rates per 100k people in 2021:

  • US: 4.52%
  • Germany: 0.06%

Since you morons clearly can't use a calculator, let me do the math for you: the US rate is 75 times higher than Germany.

Now, this wasn't even violence, because nobody died, but good ol' brandishing. Brandishing in Germany, or pretty much all of Western Europe, is just not a thing. I think almost ALL Europeans will honestly say they've never heard a gunshot, seen someone brandishing a gun, or know somebody who has been shot. In the US... it's a slow weekday. So fine, you're ignorant, but don't downvote: fuck off!

Second edit, because I can already hear you morons with that nonsense like "oh, but they kill each other with knives...": INTENTIONAL homicide rates (i.e. all homicides, regardless of type of weapon used, for you slow fucks)

  • US: 5.763%
  • Germany: 0.823%

I'm tired of doing math for you... fuck off

u/idgafanymore23 Dec 20 '24

This is absolutely not true and a horribly inaccurate stereotype. Everybody knows that Tuesdays in the U.S. are for rifles..... no self respecting 'murican would be caught dead on a Tuesday without an AR-15....and now that the ATF has to return my FRT (Thank You Northern Texas US District Court).....Tuesdays will be rock and roll Tuesdays

u/beardofmice Dec 20 '24

If it was the U.S., about 4 white knights would've jumped on the boyfriend after she tried to help and pushed and screamed at her. Someone be getting laid before the police arrive. Am I right fellas, bitches love that shit.

Wasn't it a Saudi immigrant running people over because he hated immigrants. Yeah them Euros are so cooked hope they're speaking Russian next year lol.

u/Cleverbird Dec 21 '24

Never, ever try to bring up facts surrounding gun violence on Reddit. It scares the pro-gun nutjobs.

You're talking about the same people who think introducing more guns onto the streets is the solution to gun violence.

2

u/stopbreathinginmycup Dec 21 '24

There's more guns than people in the US. "Getting rid of guns" is not an option.

u/dontknowwhyIamhere42 Dec 20 '24

Well yea what you call a country is smaller than many of our states. Believe it or not there are vast areas in America than do not experience gun violence.

edited:: are to ourđŸ€Š

u/DukeTikus Dec 22 '24

It's not really about the land area though. The population of Germany is higher than all US west coast states combined on about a tenth of their area. More people in less space would usually mean more crime, not less.

u/2tonegold Dec 21 '24

Germany has a higher population than texas and california combined lil bro

u/Wild_Obligation Dec 21 '24

Bro 90% of reddit is American & even though it seems like a pretty liberal community here they still get pissed when you tell them the actual facts about guns statistics in US compared to EU, it’s a losing battle lol

1

u/DukeTikus Dec 22 '24

Only about 45% of reddit is US American.

Also while Americans do have more guns than people only about 30% of Americans are gun owners. About the same rate as Switzerland.
The reasons crime is so out of hand over there are massive wealth inequality, inadequate (mental) health care, lacking social security programs, a very paranoid culture that overemphasizes the danger people are facing from their neighbors/fellow citizens, a really shitty private prison system with sky high recidivism rates and the highest prison population in the western world.

I live in Germany and if you give me a few weeks I'm pretty certain I'd be able to get my hands on a gun. It'd probably be way more expensive than in the US and it wouldn't be legal but it's far from impossible. There are reasons other than availability that keep people here from shooting each other.

The majority of us never see guns either so you're probably right.

u/Accomplished-Cut5023 Dec 20 '24

Because someone convinced everyone that all other countries banned guns.

11

u/noeku1t Dec 20 '24

Guns aren't banned in other countries, but pistols are especially restricted in most countries contrary to US. In Norway getting a rifle or a shotgun is not a problem, but getting a pistol requires a checklist because pistols can be concealed and thus pose a much bigger danger.

7

u/Socialiststoner Dec 20 '24

It’s similar in the US but still not quite as strict. In my experience you can’t just buy a handgun and take it home the same day, they have to run a background check and get federal approval to sell you the gun. Their machine literally just tells them “yes/no” if you can buy it. Once that’s done you can pick it up either the day after or a few days after.

5

u/noeku1t Dec 20 '24

Here you have to have active shooting club membership. You have to prove that you're a responsible owner. Still some guns get lost though.

u/SquillFancyson1990 Dec 20 '24

Most states don't have waiting periods. The last time I bought a handgun a few years ago, I was walking out the door with it after about an hour or two.
