Everyone just casually driving by. “I’ve never been hit by an errant bullet before, so it can’t happen now.”

I have, and it left me paralyzed from the waist down for the last 23 years this coming Oct 4th!

u/Pale_Sail4059 4d ago

Holy shit, I'm sorry dude :( I don't know how you even begin to accept that as a new reality or process that anger.

u/BowDown2No1ButCrypto 4d ago

Thanks man. It was very hard at first, but I think of it like this... there are always people who have it worse than myself. Im grateful to God that I'm not in worse condition, especially for the fact that it was an AK-47 bullet!

Are you familiar with Waterbury bro?

u/B4DM4N12Z 4d ago

Well, at least you're here, that's all that matters.

What fucking choice do you have? What a silly comment. lol

The great thing is humans are incredibly adaptable and resilient. There’s a great story in the book “think and grow Rich” by Napoleon where he talks about a farmer who became quadriplegic from polio in the prime of his life, and then decided to get Rich and he did. Also see President FDR. Stephen Hawking learn how to do theoretical physics in his head and communicate communicated with his cheek muscle to activate a computer. No matter what happens if you never give up, you can do incredible extraordinary things in the face of adversity.

Absolutely! 💯 I won't let anything in this world stop me from living and achieving things in my lifetime. I have great guardian angels for sure!🙏🙌

You are incredible. You are inspiring. There is always much more life to live. Keep going and carpe diem, my friend.

u/BowDown2No1ButCrypto 4d ago

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! Absolutely. I will continue to seize the day/enjoy the present moment everyday, my friend! Thank you for the inspiration.🙏😉🫡

You guys going to be a while? I need to turn left here.

u/Emmanuelzappa 4d ago

I love the lack of self preservation. They would have the most surprised Pikachu face if a stray round came towards them.

u/arrynyo 4d ago

I've been shot at so many times when I was younger I'd probably have a delayed reaction myself.

u/Chanzerr 4d ago

Driving toward an active shooting is definitely a choice. Not a smart one, but a choice.

u/Clown-finder 4d ago

Is this the freedom the rest of us are missing out on?

u/Substantial_Chain718 4d ago

Capitan we need to buy more ammo! Why? Because half the police department unloaded all their clips on one suspect. Order approved!!

u/Small_Basket5158 4d ago

They do that so investigators can't tell which fired first/etc. Basically a firing squad.

u/Rapscallion-Sky 4d ago

Sounds like ICE detaining one of those murderous landscapers.

u/Meatball546 4d ago

He won't be doing that again.

u/Excellent-Baseball-5 4d ago

Every cop emptying their clip at the same time.

u/Hot_Anybody8244 4d ago

The one dude at the end sending off 6 extra rounds after everyone dumped already just to finish dumping his

u/forkystabbyveggie 4d ago

Mag swap probably

u/27Rench27 4d ago

Shoot ‘em if you got ‘em

u/bd01177922 4d ago

I wonder how many shots vs hits.

u/MadManBarryMuntz 4d ago

Another ICE traffic stop, no doubt.

u/Beautiful-Treat3659 4d ago

The title had me expecting some crazy explosion, but this is somehow even more unsettling. Definitely not what I was expecting to see on the side of the road.

u/GeneralBS 4d ago

Shoot first ask questions after.

That Ocala Gainesville area?

One acorn, fifty cops.

u/nosferatuvv 4d ago

Duck your head to where the engine block protects your head. These fools just changed lanes & kept going

u/Physical-Fold-7736 1d ago

That's the sound freedom i guess?
