"What are you going to do, lob a stone at me from 300m away?" shouted the man on the parapet, moments before impact.

I hate this meme. Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool". And the other person still decides to use lethal force. That is diabolical, not funny.

  Diabolically funny, you mean.

  > Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool". That strikes me as a wildly incorrect interpretation of the situation in the meme. My reading is closer to a man on a parapet shouting "neener neener you can't touch me" moments before being touched by a rock at high velocity

    Yup, my favorite is the ‘what are you going to do, stab me? -stabbed man’ quote from the news interview hah.

      I think it was American Gangster that had the line "what are you going to do, shoot me in front of everyone?", right before he gets shot in front of everyone. That's a good one.

    I read an account of exactly that happening to the natives in my country 200 years ago. A group paddled up the river in their canoe and the local tribesmen who were clearly more powerful taunted them. But the natives in the canoe had newly discovered guns and shot the taunters until they were "tired of man-killing" and went home. It seemed to be purely hunting humans for fun. And yes, it was horrible, that was part of a wave of wars that decimates the whole country and cost them their sovereignty.
