Man... My parents used to kick us outta the house in the morning. They would tell us we could come back inside for lunch around noon but then we had to leave again. We would bike around and get into all kind of shenanigans. Call them from a payphone and instead of saying our name for the call we would just tell them where we were super fast and then they would hear that and decline the call lmao.

As long as we came home before the sun went down or we called them from a friend's house to get approval for a sleep over they didn't really care what we did all day. Good times.

They want kids to play outside so they have something to shoot.

Cursed country.

I did this a lot as a kid. One time I went too far and my neighbor threw me up on a fence. He told me if I ever did it again, he would whip me with a belt.

I'm noticing a trend of no-context posts just assuming everyone just read/watched literally the same story as OP did.

He absolutely wouldn't tolerate happy children outside of his property.

Two scenes after Carl is mildly inconvenienced by happy children:

"Hey where everybody going? The party's just getting started!" As he's surrounded by 3 whoorse he'd enlisted for the evening. Each more busted than the last.

Replace the gun with a car.

How much of the "outside" can a kid access today without taking the risk of being it by a car ? As soon as he crosses the door of the house he risks his life.

I don't understand how we accepted that as normal.

Now compare that with a carless world, kids could go everywhere.

Abduction or aggression are still a risk but almost insignificant compared to the risk of being hit by a car, yet this is the one we are talking about.

Not really, no.

Firearms and cars are the top two causes of death for children in the USA.

And that would be great if the initial discussion was about gun vs car deaths. But it's not, we're talking explicitly about gun deaths and here about the societal acceptance of a person making conscious decision to shoot a kid over something as stupid as annoying prank.

Now if you want to pull up some data on a person intentionally hitting a kid with a car and killing them for flipping them the bird and how car culture doesn't see anything wrong with that then sure we can have that discussion then.

Only if you're black or brown.

Grandad plays GTA irl and you just complain.

Coming from the generation that started that game, lmao.
