Sorry about the pop ups. I have Ad Blocker Plus installed on my computer, so I don't see any pop ups. Works well for me, if you want to give it a tryLTCTLB wrote:Wow... That was painful to watch with all the pop ups....
I would agree. Or the aggressor may have just thought that the guy with the gun wouldn't have the nerve to actually use it. Hard to say what was going through the guy's mind.LTCTLB wrote:... I would like to say if I were the shooter I would have fought him off, but when someone is atacking you and can see the gun and still chooses to attack they must be intent on causing bodily harm or have a death wish.
Yes, it does appear that the clerk and the guy were in a heated argument. Probably no way anyone involved could have imagined that someone was going to lose their life within seconds. I would imagine that these shootings often happen this way - suddenly and unexpectedly.WTR wrote:While the patron obviously used poor judgement which resulted in his death, I also fault the clerk for engaging in a war of words with the patron. I have heard no audio but the body language seems to show a verbal battle. The patron exited the store multiple times. The clerk had the opportunity to simply lock the door and call 911. Loss of life was preventable. The clerk seemed to exacerbate the encounter rather than deescalate it.
As for locking the door after the guy went out, I agree, yes, that would have been a very good solution. I couldn't tell from the video, but it may be that the lock on the door was the type that takes a key to operate from either side. Don't know, but agree that would have been a very good solution.
Agree. We cannot depend on the police to protect us. We must have the means to protect ourselves. Unfortunately, in this case, a life was lost. Justified, but unfortunate for the man's family, anyway.Pawpaw wrote: ..."When seconds count, the police are only minutes away." As someone's sig line used to say, "Carry 24/7 or guess wisely."
