A Texas meteorologist is going viral after a social media post from "iWeatherNet," which he founded and operates, drew incredible backlash across the internet.

Chris Robbins' "iWeatherNet" Facebook account, which has over 116,000 followers and covers weather events in Dallas, Fort Worth and also Atlanta, Georgia, posted on Monday morning a warning, but not of the weather-related variety.

A child just rang my doorbell," the post read. "Folks you do NOT ring doorbells in 2023. My 6 was loaded. Keep your kids away."
The post was signed "Chris," indicating Robbins wrote and posted it himself. The post has since been repeatedly edited as backlash flowed in, but some internet users were able to screenshot the original and upload it on social media themselves.

Just what? At least specify that the kids rang the doorbell for no reason but to annoy you because this reads like anyone ringing any door bell should be murdered.

And also even if someone was being annoying and ringing your doorbell to annoy you thats still no reason for deadly force self defense...

"I'm a totally friendly grumpy old man who is not afraid to shoot kids that ring my doorbell. It's 2023 for christ's sakes, today's world is dangeous! You might get shot by me for ringing my door bell! It's not the good old days of 1972 anymore, when I did not have to fear little kids triggering me into shooting them dead. By the way, I know the police chief, so just letting y'all know that if things get rough for me and I shoot someone, he will let me off the hook."

The truly sad thing is there are thousands if not millions of pussies who think this way in this country. We focus on dumbasses like this who broadcast their deranged mentality on social media, or the ocassional horrific incidend that the news picks up, but this shit is so common and widespread. I know I'm not expressing anything new or insightful but damn the gun culture in this country will go down in the history books as one of the most bizarre social constructs of the modern era.

Looks like he is the Founder of iWeatherNet, so this weather page or whatever is his business.

Shame, as it looks like he has other employees working for him. Sucks if they end up taking any flak for the shitstorm this fucknut caused.

He's a Texan, so obviously he thinks it's a license to shoot people if pressed.
