This reminds me of my stepmother who, a couple years ago, had my younger half brother go to public highschool for the first time. She assumed that, in their rather well off suburb, public schools were like a fight to survive. She literally "joked" about wanting to send him to school with a knife to protect himself.
Some people will just believe in propaganda whether it's believing public schools are a dangerous place in a well off suburb or that bullets just chill on the ground outside of a school in the inner city. It's all BS and they'll look for anything to confirm their beliefs, including mistaking an obvious drill bit for a bullet.
i mean we have a city nearby where everyone warns everyone else "don't go to [city], you'll get shot". white people warn white people because they're terrified of gang violence that hasn't existed since the 1990s. everyone else warns each other because the local PD will shoot you if you're not white (they shoot and kill at least 10 unarmed citizens a year, not sure how many unarmed people they only shoot) and they don't respond to your emergency calls unless you're related to someone in the PD.
i guess my point is that even subcultures have their own propaganda.
