    How do we know they intended to kill the bird and not give it a light bonk? Where did you see he disregarded their reactions?

      "I heard one of the mums say “why did you do that in front of my child?” and he said “it’s vermin, you should teach your children about vermin”

      I said ‘why did you do that’ and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away’

      Sounds like a great guy. He’s lucky to have you here defending him for some reason.

        This is what I have been asking for all day. Your the first person to provide me with some actual information. Thanks! After seeing this, I think the person did intend to kill the seagull. I don’t know if it rises to psychopathy, but everyone else’s reactions seem to make more sense now.

      Have you simply never used your hands to do anything before? Or maybe you were born without hands?

      I’m just wondering how a human reaches adulthood without understanding what will happen when you nunchuk a seagull into a wall.

          So you’ve never used your hands to do anything before, got it.

          Are you AI? This is a level of not understanding human strength that seems very ‘I am not human’.

            Wait so you’re saying everything you do is full force?

            In my experience I can adjust the power and speed I use to do things. This must be blowing your mind.

              Wtf is this argument? Swinging things applies other forces besides your own power and speed, and since you brought up those two forces you must realize there’s a minimum of both that must be applied in order to swing an object properly and you’d also know full well as Newton’s third law of motion dictates that when said swinging object meets the object at rest that the sum of those forces will be exerted back onto the swinging object. Every choice made equals bird death. He didn’t flick it on the nose, he didn’t show it up slightly, he didn’t swing it into some software brush or a beach ball or an elastic fence, he swung it into a brick wall. A + B = C. Anything else is just conjecture on your end, made in some vain attempt to justify brutish thuggery just because the victim was an animal you don’t respect.

              Try it yourself. Get about two feet of rope or something. Tie an egg to the end. See exactly how much speed and power you have to use to get it to properly swing. Then swing it into a brick wall and try not to break the egg. Make sure to film the attempt, I’d love to see it.

              Imagine making a mistake, it couldn’t be this guy — this guy only takes W’s and can perfectly control his body. Down to his fucking heart rate like Hannibal, wow — us lowly mortals will never compare to the guy with volume sliders on his muscles.

                Whoa, sorry, I didn’t mean to sound ableist. I make mistakes with my muscle control as much as the next person does.
