It's not Internet bad assery, dipshit. It's called flight or fight. If someone pulled a gun on me and then pointed it elsewhere while standing right next to me, you bet your ass I'm going to try to make my life longevity longer than the next few minutes. If someone pulls a gun on you, you're probably going to get shot (unless its just a robbery).

The old bastard was most likely pointing it to the kid's mother. Would you still take the chance tackling him when there's a possibility of your own mother being shot at? And that's considering there's only your mother inside the house.

You can be mr. toughguy all you want, the fact tho is that all you are doing is running your mouth on what you'd supposedly do in a similar situation. You'd shake in your boots is what you'd be doing, bruce willis.

wow that video is FUCKED up. Tragic

can someone give a rundown of the events? i really dont want to watch the video

That video has me confused. The kid appears to be shot at the end of it, but he sprints away as though nothing had happened. Is adrenalin so powerful that you can momentarily ignore a bullet wound to the chest? How far did he make it before collapsing?

Hope the killer lives for a while. At his age, a life sentence is no justice unless he lives past his life expectancy.

I think he was shot at again while running away, as well. Not too sure though.

Good thing there was video I guess. We all know what happens when there isn't.

I didnt watch the video, but it is possible.

There is a movie (Chopper) where a dude gets stabbed 6-7 times and stays calm. This is not always the case, but it is definitively possible for adrenaline to make you feel no pain temporarily.

Also: this is pretty bad. Sucks for the kid and the mother.
Shows how crazy the gun laws can be.

I love how people say: why didnt he just tackle the guy? Unless you have been in a situation like that, you dont have a right to speak about hoe to react in those situations.

You might think: well, I would tackle that guy so bad, but when you have a gun pointed to your head, you are probably more likely to piss your pants

Wow, criticizing a murder victim for not doing a Harvey Dent punch & grab? Never change GAF. No, but sarcasm aside, what a dick thing to say. A gun is a gun. Doesn't matter if it's a feeble old bastard holding it.

"Graphical video" did you link the wrong one OP? Sorry but i didn't see anything like that.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Graphic video of it happening.

My god, I never realised there was actual footage of this. I couldn't finish it.

 

[Apath]

Are the people saying the kid should have done something when the old man turned the gun away serious or joking? I honestly cannot tell.

 

[boiled goose]

Evil or crazy?

Does it matter?

Guns.
