What, exactly, does a "whack job", look like? How do you know that he/she/it is actually going to pull the trigger? How do you know that the gun is even loaded, or real?
How do you know until said "whack job" actually discharges the weapon and a bullet is actually out of the muzzle that you aren't witnessing a stunt. Do you take him/her/it down first? And how would you feel if you, fueled by fear or anxiety shot first and found you had been too hasty and mistook a harmless YouTube prank and ended a life? And, when you f8re all the other gun towers who didn't know what you were shooting for and decide YOU are the shooter and fire in your direction?
