Yeah, but if shit like that went down in the US, people would be sueing left and right. I know I would. Even if a mob broke out, and you stood on the bylines to get away from the chaos, there's still a really big chance you'd get hit.

It's like slapping someone on the face with sunburn, and afterwards, saying "Oh, it's okay- it didn't cause you any structural damage, just pain lol" I would beat the hell out of someone who did that.

People need to put themselves in other people's perspectives.

If the military would stop spending insane amounts of money on lumbering cumbersome limited-use technology, and use it for greater soldier's salaries, better healthcare for troops, and phasing soldiers out of Iraq, I wouldn't be as pissed.
