[snakes and acab] just had to cover my mouth so that i didn't spit all over my screen

but conversation happening about how people panic over snakes and will shoot even ones that aren't even venomous

but of course you got your jackasses going "i'd rather shoot them instead of someone misidentifying them and someone dies"

which got to people patiently explaining that there's not a snake alive that does anything but strike in self defense (and, like, food, but the average human isn't food)

cue someone going

The average venomous snake will only strike in self-defense, which is more than you can say for your average cop.

Nice segue there, friend. You're not wrong, but also you're not on topic.
