Yeah that is pretty scary. Thieves will try to take advantage of any opportunity they can.
It may be shocking news now but it is just natural development. It is normal evolution, everything with some value will be targeted by thieves and eventually stolen. You just need to protect your bitcoin as much as your 'normal' money.

there is a video, showing how an unarmed guy gets robbed with a simple knife
it could not be any clearer that a firearm would have been a gamechanger, resulting in a dead piece of scum and dry pants
BUT STILL the gunhaters come out and write horseshit, it is incredible

Firearms held by both people... would have resulted in 2 dead bodies.
This is what we get in exchange for our gun culture:

Quote
Some folks (especially Americans) seem to think that their AR-15s are a guarantor that they can resist tyranny. But guns are an 18th century response to 18th century threats to democracy. Capital doesn't need to point a gun at you to remove your democratic rights: it just needs more cameras, more cops, and a legal system that is fair and just and bankrupts you if you are ever charged with public disorder and don't plead guilty.
-Charlie Stross 
Hell, my guns are better than their low bid firearms.
You could have the best, fanciest gun in the world and you'd be just as dead if a bullet from the shittiest, cheapest gun struck one of your vital organs.I do not feel oppressed by capitalism
Great for you, check your privilege. It's [capitalism] far from utopia, but never in human history have people had it as good as we do.
You sure about that? Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the United States (18% of U.S. population). 1 in 10 Americans is clinically depressed. 1 in 4 college students are depressed.The United States is today almost certainly the most mentally ill society in the history of the world.
Anyone who thinks you don't need a gun has been watching to many movies.
You must be joking. Hollywood glorifies gun culture like mad!So again, I'll stick to what I know works. That is not how a real gunfight unfolds.
You'll stick to what you believe works while ignoring overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I'll stick to an evidence-based existence.Quote
I have seen fighting on three continents now and had more than enough experience being shot at. Never have I thought that if I threw away my weapon I would be safer. It never crossed my mind that we should stop returning fire because someone might accidentally get hurt.
So I wear a seat-belt and a gun just in case. You won't see it unless you are trying to kill me. But if someone does try to kill me then i will try to make it the last thing they ever see. I consider this to be a pragmatic decision.

it looks that just happened one time,the thread is so sensationalist
The media highlights what gives them viewership points. Do you blame them?
that's true ...the media does not always show what actually happens or what happened.

Last 2 are irrelevant, first off other peoples religion have nothing to do with america, there is freedom of religion remember?
Considering the southern states are where most of the gun nuts live, I'd say it's pretty damn relevant. 
You are correct RodeoX. Capitalism IS the best system, is communism working well in Russia right now?
Russia is a capitalist oligarchy.Which is the best country in the world? The USA.
That's adorable. You remind me of this blonde girl from the Newsroom.America is the best in only three categories:
-Number of incarcerated citizens per capita
-Number of adults who believe angels are real
-Military expenditure
Military expenditure has allowed us to achieve world superpower, and STAY there. If anything were to happen we could easily win any war even if our allies turned on us. Yes Canada has less military expenditure but if the alliance between Canada and the US was broken, Canada would get absolutely destroyed. The world's strongest military is what allows it to stay strong and make these aggressive decisions and counter terrorism and all this invasion into other countries and getting things done. First one I agree is not very good and embarrassing actually.

If you think guns only make you less safe then why do we send cops with guns to stop violence?
We don't send cops to stop violence, we send cops to ensure violence is monopolized by the state, for the interests of the state. The state has no interest in stopping violence, capitalism could not exist for one hour without systematic hierarchy-based violence. The state is very interested in controlling who that violence is directed at. Trying to shoot your way to non-violence makes as much sense as trying to fuck your way to virginity. Would our troops be more safe in Afghanistan if they went on patrol unarmed?
It's deeply concerning (but not surprising) that a gun owner such as yourself doesn't understand the distinction between civilians on home soil and military in a foreign war zone.I'm not afraid of my government or the cops. Hell, my guns are better than their low bid firearms. I do not feel oppressed by capitalism and I think it works better than other systems. For example I am trusted to carry a gun, speak out against the government, vote for my leaders. It's far from utopia, but never in human history have people had it as good as we do.
Of course there is a distinction between war and crime. But both situations use firearms to fight firearms. Anyone who thinks you don't need a gun has been watching to many movies.
So again, I'll stick to what I know works. I fully support anyone's right to risk it without a gun. But I would not do that. I'm going home tonight.

You'll stick to what you believe works while ignoring overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I'll stick to an evidence-based existence."(...) there are 3 to 5 gun deaths per 100,000 in the bottom five gun ownership states, while there are 17 to 20 gun deaths per 100,000 in the top five gun ownership states. These statistics provide a great deal of evidence that gun ownership levels in a state correlate with gun deaths, and prove that the gun lobby’s argument of universal gun ownership is simply a fantasy."
view the facts for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States_by_state
The highest gun deaths by far is 16.5 in the state, and gun ownership is only 3.6%.
Hmm, less guns equals more gun deaths, sounds like a good plan lets remove all guns.
Stop making things up Beliathon.

Wait! the guy dipped the money in his urine and gave it to him
Yes, that did happen. Delicious urine money, yet another reason to use bitcoin 
Lol! you know Delicious doesn't fit there at all right ?
If you think guns only make you less safe then why do we send cops with guns to stop violence?
They don't give cops guns to stop violence. Trying to shoot your way to non-violence makes as much sense as trying to fuck your way to virginity. They give cops guns to ensure that violence continues to be monopolized by the state, for the interests of the state. Cops are expendable to the state, that's why the reward for an NYPD officer who has been shot is a paltry $10,000. How much do you think that reward would be if you shot a congressman or other important millionaire? The elite doesn't give a shit about some random cop any more than they do about you, that tiny amount of money is just for show. The state has no interest in stopping violence, capitalism could not exist for one hour without systematic hierarchy-based violence. The state is very interested in controlling how that violence is directed, however. By the way, most industrialized nations don't miliarize the police the way the United States does. We're unique in our gun-obsession, just like we're unique in our prison population and our lack of universal health care. If you want to understand American politics, you only need to follow the money. The US gun industry is a 32 billion dollar industry. You associate guns with liberty because you have been programmed to since you were a small child. You were programmed to love guns because a handful of very powerful rich people profit enormously from your ignorance. Same reason Americans love their cheeseburgers and other mass-produced garbage fastfood, that kind of food is much more profitable than fruits and vegetables.
Would our troops be more safe in Afghanistan if they went on patrol unarmed?
Our troops would be a hell of a lot safer if they weren't in Afghanistan. Unfortunately for them, they are expendable assets just like police officers. It is deeply concerning (but not surprising) that a gun owner such as yourself doesn't understand the distinction between civilians on home soil and military personnel in a foreign war zone.Despite popular redneck belief, having a gun on you does not render your soft, fleshy body immune to tiny bits of metal accelerated to deadly velocity.
The only way to be safe(r) from gun violence is to wear one of these everywhere you go:

I'll take my chances defending myself thank you. Maybe you'll get lucky if you are being attacked and someone nearby will be prepared to do something.
Probably they meet in a quiet area, if you do the exchange IRL dont do it in a small street like in movies, meet in mcdonalds or something.
How many of those people deserved to die?
I'm not the type of sociopathic asshole that believes he has a right to decide who deserves to die. I'll leave that up to the redneck southern judges and politicians.Lot of this is likely from gang violence.
Yeah, because everyone knows Oklahoma and Wyoming have countless roving bands of deadly gangs. 
I don't have facts for it
Obviously.but assuming US has much higher gang population and gang violence. Gun control won't change that
Gun control is proven to reduce gun deaths. Why are you assuming random bullshit, by the way?we have printable guns now.
Who's we? The tiny handful of geeks with 3D printers? Yeah, they are a real menace to society. Are these the same folks in your imaginary gangs? Facts and statistics don't matter though
Clearly not to you. the people for gun control are already convinced.
Facts and statistics tend to have that effect. People that want the choice to own a gun don't give a shit
That's why we have prisons, which is not to say that I'm a fan of prisons. But I'm even less of a fan of entitled american gun nuts and the near-constant shooting sprees they enable with their ignorance. Jump to:
