Re: Land Dispute Results in Elderly Man Being Shot Dead
I don't think the victim lacked situational awareness... he just didn't have a good reason or opportunity to pull his own gun or big ass machete until it was too late. There's a moment when the dude moves his gun from one hand to the other, takes a half step forward, and we see the watch hand come forward, that's when we see the other guy instinctively reach for his own gun on his hip but stopped when he realized there was nothing in that hand. ![]() He probably suspected the guy was armed but also knew the odds of successfully drawing on a guy that close, who likely already had a gun in his hand would not be ideal.. I think that's why he tried to play it relatively cool, he had a gun and big ass knife on him but didn't want to give the other guy a reason to draw... unfortunately for him though, the other dude was a cowardly little bitch. Just a side note, it looks like he might've gotten lucky with one of those shots too. It looks like he got the guy's shooting arm causing him to drop his gun, had that not happen he might've gotten lit up too. |

Re: Land Dispute Results in Elderly Man Being Shot Dead
Even if he knew he couldn't get to his sidearm, he needed to do something. Regarding your side note, that could explain why a witness who obviously recorded the crime managed to survive. He did ever in his power to make himself an easy target. (Stepping out from behind the truck with the phone held high, the half-assed attempt to climb over the fence instead of slipping through the wires, the endless whining that even an innocent bystander would want to silence). |

Well it looked like someone wasn't bright enough to realize he was about to get smoked. |
