Related to people filming gunfights.... and not running or hiding.....
Most of the amazed commenters have no clue.
That is the new street normal, film it for fame.... get paid for the film.
"Street" is getting big on filming everything, mass beat downs, girls giving street blowjobs, fucking on car hoods, subway attacks, getting one over on somebody, and for sure, anything the police do. Film it. Post it on FB, Twitter. Or personal feeds.
The media "influencers" have helped create the film phenomena.
Why do these people have no fear when that crap happens?
Many grew up in it, every day on the mean streets. Homeless people and the mental illness that creates tent cities, have no immediate fears. Just what surrounds their immediate patch of ground. A murder can happen 20' away, and nobody moves, more than a shrug, turn over and go back to sleep.
Stuff happens in big schools, in big city atmospheres, and students walk by going to classes, while shit happens, and never slow down, w the attitude of, if I dont look at it, wont happen to me, keep moving.
Conditioning...
Way back when, people watched Kitty Genovese get murdered and did nothing. The news media and whole nation was shocked.
Today, a ball court shooting leaves a 9,10,11,12 year old dead on the ground, somebody filmed it, and 75% of the people walk off, didnt see nuffin.
Street shootings happen and 2 & 3 year olds die in front of their homes. Same thing, didnt see nuffin. 10 days later the shooter turns himself in.
If you watched any of the feeds on this, you saw plenty of people getting away from it, some with officers herding them. Then u see media hunting witnesses for the sound bites, first to get the scoop.
So, there is one nutcase filming it, and live streaming it...
How many filmed and live streamed Seattle, Minneapolis, the Capitol ?????
How many fled when Kyle R started shooting, how many fled when Capitol girl Babbitt got shot ? How many stayed and filmed it ?
Welcome to your new normals people...
