I'm of two minds on this. Did he know the guy? Was he really in danger of death or being hurt seriously or was this just a scrap and the one who shot him was, "a Bitch"?
If I recall, there were multiple security cameras, I believe a restraining order was involved, and the guy who got planted basically stalked the guy at 5am. The victim kept backing up and trying to retreat and escape all over the place before being forced to have to shoot.
Nobody is obligated to duke it out with you. Threats of physical violence, people have died from one punch, age and physical prowess differences ... this was a deadly threat. The shootee was lucky the shooter stopped as soon as the threat was over. Some of us would have been tempted to follow up with a kill shot.
Old man, young kid so yes the shooter was defending against lethal force.
One shot stopped the threat so you can't accuse the old man of being a 'vigilante'. Dropping a full clip when the kid went down would have been excessive.
This kind of reminds me of a video where some guy who's about 4 feet tall was having a meltdown in a restaurant, screaming at everybody, bumping into people yelling "You wanna step outside?!?!" and eventually he screams at the wrong person "Oh, you wanna attack me?" and thumps his chest. So the dude comes flying at him, tackles him, and is screaming in his ear to STFU.
Bravado will only take you so far, and if someone calls your bluff, you're gonna have a bad day.
I enjoyed that emmensly. Come at me with fist doubled up I aint gonna wait to see if you are going to throw a punch. I'm old I think a punch would really fuck me up these days.
Leaving the area, very smart move.

ReplyDeleteLooking at the size difference, the shooter would have been stupid to take that risk.

DeleteDid he know the guy? Who cares. Knowing someone isn't a prerequisite to defending yourself.

DeleteHurts, don’t it?!
ReplyDeleteDon't bring a big mouth to gun fight.
ReplyDeletePoor shot discipline. Should be "two in the chest, face gets the rest"
ReplyDeleteWell, that was satisfying.
ReplyDeleteHope that good man walked away and got away. Should have shot him in the head.
ReplyDeleteBang bang you're dead!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so easily lead
Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
Put all those rumours to bed
Bang, bang you're dead
Here Kitty Kitty Kitty MEOW HAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteA scream that would make an 8 year old girl proud.
ReplyDeleteGutter screams was the best part.
ReplyDeleteNo death threats. Need to follow through or you will get arrested when the popo shows.
ReplyDeleteMy Dad always told me: Never get into a heated argument with an old man with a gun in his hand.
ReplyDeleteok, I laughed.
ReplyDeleteMe too.. After a month in the hospital shitting from a hole in the gut into a plastic bag
Deletethis asshole shouldn't be poking anymore cages for a while.
Repeat what occifer fiendly says; “I was in feared of my life”!!!
ReplyDeleteNo details. No judgement.

Unless you are a cop, then pop in a new mag and blaze away some more.

ReplyDeleteHold up a minute, I dont wanna get my favorite shirt bloody
ReplyDeleteDaryl
The hood rats started that. It's actually smart, so the shirt can't be pulled half over and tie you up.
DeleteStarted way before the urban utes may have used it. Well known indicator of the start of physical violence world wide, like balling of the fists.
DeleteIs it wrong to admit I kept re-watching it to hear him scream at the end! Perfect end to the day after work!
ReplyDeleteFucked around and found out. Funny part is I think he got shot in the dick and is now the bitch.
ReplyDeleteAs Bugs Bunny would say. "What an ultra- maroon"
ReplyDeleteOnly one thing to say, “God made man, Sam Colt made man equal “.
ReplyDeleteJFM
Get back motherfucker!
ReplyDeleteI like this better than those ballistic gel demonstrations on youwhotube... no slo mo but great sound,
ReplyDeleteHow stupid can you be and still live as long as that dummy has?
ReplyDeleteA true John Wick moment
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the video in the parking garage , the guy takes his shirt off and gets knocked out by a smaller well trained guy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy ending :)
