I want to apologize if I offended any PoC, I didn’t read the greentext correctly and “basketball American” slipped through. I’ve tried to keep my posts as clean as possible and will continue to do so. It’s entirely my mistake and I’m sorry.

It's called "disposing of evidence". The only reason for him to get rid of the gun is because he doesn't want to be found with that gun.

Maybe he took the gun back when he got out. In that case it might have just been him wanting the cab driver to have a gun to protect them, and not wanting to be prosecuted for being drunk and shooting if something were to happen.

Nah basketball American is funny af in the context of the words that usually get used on 4chan

The slope is slippery. I don’t want to make work for the mods when people feel right in taking the next step. I like the politically correct greentexts posted here.

The moral of the story is not to let oneself be blinded by one's prejudices. Most people are good, and you have nothing to fear from them. Most people look out for each other to some extent. That is the moral of the story, OP.

I expected people on Lemmy be less sensitive than redditors, what a shame

Lemmy is incredibly PC, even more so than much of Reddit. For instance, it prevents you from posting the n word in any form- it’s filtered and removed automatically.

Lemmy is like if you took regular r/politics and r/antiwork posters and gave them exclusivity to an entire platform
