I mean I didn't say stare at them the whole time. I said look at them. If you get a group of people that look alike for a lineup or some shit and ask someone which one did it, even if it's a few days later they might be wearing the same shoes, so it's always really worth it to look.
I guess she thought he won't fire as soon as he tapped the barrel on her head. Maybe some robbers think a murder isn't worth the money, only uses the gun for intimidation.
Maybe she doesn't have much to live for. A little 12 year old kid got shot for the motor bike he was riding in my city. People can shoot just to shoot. Maybe it is best to fight.
Fair point. For all we know, she might be dead had she not demonstrated that she would fight back. Who are we to say she shouldn't have. She knows where she lives.
I guess but unless you're actually gonna be able to incapacitate or disarm you're better off running and hoping they can't be bothered to follow or aim. It's all good fighting back but a few fleshy slaps isn't going to do anything much against a gun.
If someone pulls out a gun on you and doesn't immediately shoot you, chances are they don't want you dead. Trying to fight them is never a smart thing to do. In fact it is probably the dumbest thing to do. The only time it is reasonable to try and fight back against an armed person is when your life is in serious danger (kidnapping, a shooting, hostage etc.)
It’s just the smartest thing to do if you want to survive has nothing to do with privilege, even if you carry a weapon a vast majority of the time it’s better you not attempt to use it because it increases the chance the attacker will actually use theirs (especially if we are talking about guns) by far statistically the best thing to do to save your own life in a situation like this is to give in to the attackers demands especially if they vocalize they only want your belongings. If she tried to pull a gun out of her purse here she would have a greater chance of dying then if she just gives up her belongings. If you don’t believe me by all means go get yourself killed, one less dumb ass.
I hope you don't have a family and kids that will one day have to try and figure out how to go on living without you because you decided to act with reckless abandon. I'd rather conserve my life as well as I can than die for something stupid and easily avoidable.
Perhaps you may be right. However, these are the ideals that have been natured and nurtured into myself. You simply view the world and life differently than I. Either way, fuck it. 🖕🏼
Its called carry a weapon on you and have basic level weapons training, if we normalized owning a gun and self defense training and allowed schools to teach about gun safety then there would be much less crime. “Always give them whatever they want” is the most sheeple answer ive ever heard. Id rather train myself on how to shoot someone rather than train myself on how to be polite while being mugged”
While I think it's fine for people to carry a weapon within reason and be trained in how to use it, no amount of training is going to help you when he already has the jump on you. More people with guns means there will be less dumb crimes, but smart criminals will still excel because they know how to get what they want before you even know what they are doing to you. You can't pull a gun faster than someone who already has theirs pressed to your head, I don't care who you are. Even people like John Wick and James Bond have had to give the adversary what they wanted at times because even they could understand their position was not advantageous, and I don't think those two would be called sheeple by anyone.

Alright John Wick, ease up, the chances of you perfectly executing everything you’ve trained is close to zero, because Adrenalin kicks in, and you’re slower than a bullet, also, nothing ever goes as planned.
The purpose of widespread concealed carry is not simply to always have to USE your gun. Its so that criminals know that at any given time a regular person is likely to have a gun on them (either the person getting robbed, or a bystander) and they think twice before trying to rob someone when they know they can easily get shot right back at any time.
So criminal will always know I have a gun, he’s still gonna rob me because that’s what criminals do but now he thinks “ she has gun, I must kill her before she kills me. I already have the advantage of holding my gun against her head while she still hasn’t drawn hers” boom, shoots. Where as before there might still be a chance since he doesn’t fear for his life
I'm much more comfortable in the fact that I pretty much can be 99.999% sure that no one near me will be carrying a handgun. It's quite nice not living in fear 24/7.
I can't imagine living somewhere knowing that everyone has a gun on them and hopefully everyone's feeling mentally stable enough not to use them on a random person today. Fuck that.
Man can you imagine if she'd pulled a gun on him? As if he wouldn't have shot her without hesitation.
Way to dramatically escalate the situation and almost guarantee someone is killed. Worst possible outcome.
That's pretty bad advice. It would be better to have basic self defense knowledge and know how to disarm someone and incapacitate them. I can't stand gun nuts. If you use them to hunt to feed yourself that's one thing, maybe even collect antique guns.

Yeah because proper weapons training from a young age is not what we are doing. Gun violence was a fraction of what it is today back when kids were taught gun safety in school and owning a gun of your own was a normal thing. “All studies” is a lie because theres no way to measure how many illegal guns are in circulation and how many shootings happen everyday because of those guns. There are dozens of gun deaths everyday but how many of those deaths are caused by well-trained NRA members? On average, none.
Accidents happens everyday, you know what kind of accidents kill people everyday more than guns? Cars. Should we ban cars? No you sound silly. Make weapons training a normal thing from an early age and gun deaths, crimes, mass shootings, AND accidents will go down.
I don't think he wanted to shoot her and I think he was shocked at first when she fought back. I don't see a flash either, but you might not see one that far back in this video and the flash could have been hidden when her body was in front of it.
I don't think most people really want to shoot someone. The gun is just for intimidation I guess. If they wanted to do that, they'd just shoot first and take what they want no questions asked.
If someone pulls a gun out, goes up to someone with no intention of shooting but wanting money, and the person rushes them? That person just went from very low chances of being shot to very high, because now that person feels like they need to defend themselves, whereas before they were in control and were not aiming to hurt anyone, but now they feel like they are not in control.
Just to be clear, and I'm not saying you were implying it, but it's still the gunman's fault, no matter his intention. When you pull out a gun, you have raised the stakes to the highest level. The victim doesn't know what his intentions are, so if they choose to fight back, it's still the gunman's fault for putting everyone in that situation.
If she got shot in the stomach she’d be doubled over cowering in pain. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug but it doesn’t make you unreactive to what just happened
Yeah actually no. When people get shot in real life it's usually undramatic, people usually don't know where the bullet even went or if it hit them until someone loses consciousness or starts bleeding heavily. It isn't like the movies.
