Redditors will think I’m quirky and weird, but just for the heck of it, I spent my entire New Year’s Day with every knife I own put away. And then none of the people I live with called the police. I also didn’t brandish any of my knives around police officers.

And then, guess what happened? Here I am this morning, alive and not shot by the police. Weather seems nice today too.

That guy in Gilford sure had a strange way of celebrating the holidays.

Probably had mental health issues. Ever think of that? And also ACAB. So… yeah. Good for you though.

Why are you making assumptions about the guy's mental health? Isn't it possible that he was just an asshole? Or stupid? Or both?

Also, if I may ask a personal question, how did you celebrate New Year's Day yesterday? Did you engage in any activity that caused the people around you to call the police? Did you threaten anyone with a knife? Somehow my guess is no to both. That's one of the reasons you woke up alive today.

There are plenty of ways to deal with someone wielding a knife… I am almost 100% sure even without a full story that they didn’t have to shoot and kill this guy.

But you keep on licking the boots. It’s ok, I know it’s a hard habit to break.

Probably drunk. Which can make even normal people have mental health issues/assholes/stupid… given the right circumstances.
