    Cook said he continues to make the videos, from which he earns $2,000 to $3,000 a month.

    Professional asshole gets shot and learns nothing. All over 2 to 3k a month. Dude could literally work at mcdonalds and make that kind of money.

      I’d rather get shot than work at McDonald’s. Have you worked a low wage customer facing job? Literally anything is better. I’d rather have children kick me in the balls all day.

        But you would also have to be a total asshole and go around harassing strangers who are just trying to get on with their lives.

          True, my point was more about using McDonald’s as a measuring stick is a bad call. Like I’d seriously have to think about it if I have to do one or the other for an extended period.

        Having worked in fast food and factories, I’d much rather the fast food work than any kind of repetitive factory work.

        I’d rather get shot if it was a mild wound and I didn’t have to pay the medical bills afterwards*.

          Well if you get shot at McDonald’s, you’ll get workers’ comp. for a while. They’ll cut you off eventually, pay you pennies on the dollar of what wages you lost. They will cover your medical bills though.

      Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life…

      This kid loves being an obnoxious asshole, it’s his calling.

      He’s working up his immunity by getting shot with smaller calibers first, by the time he’s making 10k/month, he’ll have himself immune to high-caliber rifle rounds from people that are trying to kill him from a distance.

      What McDonald’s are you working at for $25+ an hour?.

      Don’t listen to me

          You’re right, my bad. I’d like to blame the bad math on it being early morning… But it’s just me being dumb.
