I tried to trim the clip so that it starts right when the first bystanders become aware something is going down. Slowed it down right as the dude in the middle of the street realizes he probably shouldn't be there. Unfortunately for the girl on the left, her reaction time was not as swift as the other two. Plus just dumb fucking luck where she was standing in the middle of that street.

He also was arrested for domestic violence towards one of his ex wives. But yes, totally shocking and handsome.

It's cute to me how people are impressed by his nice manners and charm. Isn't that what people said about Ted Bundy?

Firearms are not banned here.
There have been dozens of mass shootings since Port Arthur.
Please move to NZ.

With a bit of luck the face shot might have taken a few seconds to shut him down so he could hear the wet splatter and his own gurgling as his head emptied itself of fluid.

There's a close up of his face after he was shot but i don't see any injuries or blood near his face. Maybe it's just crappy photo quality.

Careful talking sense, you'll upset the bigots.

Yeah that is true. The vast majority of people don't go to extremes, but we have to be realistic and accept that extremism is far more prevalent in Islam than any other religion at the moment.

As Christopher Hitchens pointed out, a religion that is 1200 years old and is unreformed can be a very dangerous thing. Christianity was brutal when it was at that age. It had to be reformed for us to break free and allow us to become more civilized.

I worry that Islam can not make this essential step because it prohibits reformation. The Quran is unalterable because Muslims believe these are the exact words from God as delivered by the angel Gabriel to Mohammed.

We Christians know not to follow Old Testament guidelines on punishment, slavery and the rights of women. Our religion allows us to say that's a load of old crap, in fact Jesus encouraged people to disobey those ancient mandates and instead listen to their hearts.

The Quran is pretty much the Old Testament chopped up and reordered in parts, in other parts it is a direct copy, word for word. And this is used as a guide. It's not a good thing. We learned that lesson in our religion, Islam needs to make that step also. In my humble opinion. But can it?
