It takes a real set of coconuts to handle it like he did, free snickers bar and gas for him!
Who are you guys? I mentioned prejudice not racism they are two different concepts. I don't know which worlds dumbest criminal shows you are watching but I have the channel "trutv" as well and its a pretty equal share of stupidity shared amongst the criminal community. The problem is that most of your experience is what you see on TV that leads to prejudice. If you were to only go by what you see on TV and the local news paper me and my friends I grew up with would not all be military and college educated and "gasp" not criminals. You can continue to get your education and ideals from TV if you'd like though. After all you will never see me or my friends on TV for you to learn about.So if I read someones body language and it says that he's a punk, I'm supposed to disregard my brain if the guy is black so that the racephobic people can feel comfortable? You guys crack me up.
So who's being racist and putting mostly black guys on the dumb criminals TV?
Perhaps some of the so called racism allegedly typed in is in fact experience and not racism?
threegun said (in original post): Chilling part is the bad guy was about to draw on a man who was open carrying. To me this means he was preparing for a shootout.
Trust should enter into daily dealings. I believe people til I have proof otherwise.
I'll be in west palm, but if I have time i'll pm ya! Semper Fi.
No matter what we may say, your coworker has gained insight and tactical expirience. There is little we can do or say, as he went home alive. That says that overall he did everything right. The thing is, even when you do things "by the book" you may still go home in a body bag.
Not for me. I don't trust anyone I don't know well. I don't believe crapola until they prove otherwise.
Like to bass fish?
Sounds to me like the BG had an adrenalin dump and was tunnel focused. Don't think the open carry of a weapon will scare a BG away because he might not even see it. If you think something is going down then you best have your gun already in your hand before the BG gets the jump on you.
Thanks for the story.
Guilty until proven otherwise? Goes against the very fabric of our nation's sacred documents ya know
Life is too short to live wary of other people and what they MIGHT do

What was your point?
Please, understand that I want to know if I should respond differently to a Black man charging at me with a knife than I would a White man or an Eskimo.
