Some folks just aren't good at anything

[BehindBlueI's]

Not at stealing.
Not good at maintaining guns.
Not good at lawyering.

The interesting thing is note how quickly the attack occurs. Even knowing he's about to pull a gun, you'd have about two seconds to respond once he starts to reach, less than a second if you just reacted to him starting to draw.

Speed matters, folks, and it matters a lot.

Unable to find the right emoticon... What is that guy's major malfunction?

 

[Thor]

His major malfunction? Probably that he's a career societal predator. He steals to get what he wants, he kills to get away with it. He probably thought he was going to win that gunfight. Win it in all probability with a stolen weapon that he'd never practiced with.

I noticed that he asked for a bench trial...probably didn't want to face 12 'peers' (could you really find the folks who were his peers to fill a jury booth?) unanimously judging him to be a complete idiot and guilty as heck. It's too bad he now wins room and board for the next 70 years.

And yes, speed is in many cases critical. The first shot on target is often the only one that matters.

There is no such thing as a routine traffic stop. Spooky stuff but its nice that some people are not good at anything..

Usually it is lack of a father, but in this case, congenital evil. Only a bullet to the head will stop that.

And if he ever gets out this would be the best outcome...because if he ever gets out worse things will come.

I have screwed a pistol into someone's ear twice. And gave very specific instructions to the perp. I won't repeat what I said here. The prosecutor did in open court though. The Judge laughed.

I have been a gentle, kind person since 2006.

Routine traffic stop? Why the hell do they keep using that phrase? There is no such thing.

Glad they survived. Things are getting tough.

I wonder if the picture of the hi point was a stock photo (in which case it's ironic they picked that photo for the jammed gun) or it was the photo of the actual pistol the perp used (in which case it makes sense). Also, something about the way reporter Randy Travis mimics clearing a pistol malfunction makes me think he is familiar with the process.

Don't know but what I do know is the criminal element is for some reason drawn to the cheap junky guns. And for that reason we should be thankful

 

[SMiller]

Anyone else notice the cop almost get shot in the back of the head by the other cop?

 

[Mark 1911]

That guy's ability to think rationally is totally gone, and probably has been for a very long time. Totally irrational, but then again, if the shooter had been rational the whole incident would never have happened.

 

[HoughMade]

See, everyone thinks that they can cross-examine. It took me years (and years) of actually practicing law before I was any good at it.

 

[THE BIG SITT]

Was that a Hi Point?

 

[HoughMade]

Was that a Hi Point?

That's the picture they showed. Unsure if that was actually what he had that jammed.

I think they only use that phrase when something bad happens.

 

[oldpink]

Was that a Hi Point?

Yep
The only thing that could have gone better with this particular shooting would have been if that one shot that went through this POS perp's hat had instead gone three inches lower.
Woulda saved the taxpayers millions.

Definitely seemed like he was in the line of fire.

I always keep both hands on the steering wheel and in clear vision of the officer when pulled over for speeding or whatever. I pull to the far right on the curb/shoulder and give the officer(s) plenty of room to approach between my vehicle and traffic. The only time I reach for anything including license and registration is while he's where he can see everything. I don't want anyone mistaking any move on my part as aggressive or unclear - not ever. I don't want LEO to be uncomfortable, nor do I want to end up mistaken as trouble.

On a positive note - good for him representing himself. That turned out swell.

 

[BugI02]

That reminds me its time to take a refresher on close quarters unarmed combat. That happened so fast the only possible option I would have had was wrestling for control of the gun. Not at all sure I could contol him enough one handed to draw.
