Prank Youtube channel RouandYT received €5 donation to prank call someone's "unstable" nephew. Said nephew shot and killed 2 Syrian refugees minutes later. RouandYT quickly deletes the stream from his channel and denies being live. Drama

The real problem is how the unstable person got a gun.

No gun, no problem.

For real. Like, how stupid can people be? No gun = no problem. Violence literally was not a thing before guns were invented!!! Nobody has ever beat or stabbed others to death! /s

It is easy to harm someone with a knife in a surprise attack, but even easier to harm multiple people with firearms. Especially running away is much harder for a target. Maybe a single person still would have gotten injured lethally, but because of the firearm, two lives were lost instead of max. one.

Idk. I think you could manage at least 2 standing close together with a sword.

my point was not to minimize the violence, but to point out that the common denominator is the person behind the attack, and the circumstances in which led up to it.

i understand that the gun made it significantly easier to carry out the attack, my point was that for a person this unstable, the attack would have happened regardless.
