I agree that he looks a wee bit lost. But it's not as though he could be like John Wayne to roll down the window and fire back. There really was nothing he was able to do as long as the truck is still moving.
Hole in the trans at 0:32, maybe another at 2:04, or was that just a bump? Cops? Armored car? (Windows seemed to hold nicely...) "Oy fink 'em blokes pissed theyselves, moite...fookin' lucky 'ey was...)
That man will be deservedly famous. Both of them. Wonder if he ever found the appropriate emoji for the situation? Is there a written report of it anywhere?
Armored car attempted robbery in SA. Driver is a highly paid contractor and knows his shit. I read about this story yesterday. The ones knocking wrecked their own ride in persuit I think. Props to the driver in the Toyota Highlander. Ohio Guy
At another web site, they had pictures of the truck...a 4 dr Toyota PU and one of the rounds went through the bullet resistant glass and struck the A pillar on the driver's side. Dude got lucky with that one.
Usually Toyota has a secret James bond feature ... oil leak. But I guess this one just came with standard issue reliability.
But in all seriousness. Im thankful for people like the driver. Bang bang , brain clicks into fight or flight. And on a straight path to survival.
Wish elementary schools taught what to do in fight or flight. Fire. Burglary. Basic Medical attention. Start kids on the path to be more like this man. Make america stronger.
The rifleman could do nothing other than what he did. Roll down the window and fire at targets he didn't have, plus open the cab to fire from the bad guys. Yeah, all you people "The black guy was useless," don't know shit. He did what the driver/vehicle commander told him to do.
One of the best part is.. Call Robbie. Call josh. No.. Not the police he wanted. He wanted Robbie and josh. If he is so badass... How are Robbie and josh.
That black boy was a worthless pos.

Weird they had no Shoot Back options. You'd think there would be firing ports.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what was shooting at them? Semi-auto, but it seems like a heavy round.
Someone lost their mag?
ReplyDeleteBeer run in Chicago?

Excellent info at this link. Thanks for posting it.
Deletethat boot lip was either in on it, or as useless as a fart in the wind
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show you, even the Pros get bug-eyed when TSHTF and somebody's shooting at you.
