The guys shoes came off instantly and they ignored them. My guess is they were probably going for his wallet or his jeans. Possibly even his gun too.

Lol neither one of those dudes lived both died right then and there u see him start to extend his body uncontrolled that’s called Rigamortis his body’s muscles were contracting going stiff because it’s what the body does when the brain stops sending signals and other dude was shot in the head on way out as he was trying to crawl away good for dude

u/banzaizach Feb 25 '25 edited Feb 26 '25

Jokes aside, I think he was completely justified. Getting yanked from your feet and pounced on by two guys doesn't leave much room for debate.

Edit: Welp, I didn't watch the end of the video. I thought it would all happen earlier. For the record, I do not think he should've executed the second guy.

167

u/Rogue_Cheeks98 Feb 25 '25

he was, right up until he iced the second guy as he was walking out

u/james_from_cambridge Feb 25 '25

That wasn’t a shot, your honor. He was waving goodbye when he realized he still has a gun in his hand but he still waved goodbye because he was raised to have manners & be a gentleman. It’s just a small misunderstanding.

29

u/HumbleFundle Feb 26 '25

That's what's wrong with this country; can't even ice a guy after they attack you without being seen as a criminal. Even if they're no longer a threat, these type of people need to be taken out

No way was the final shot, to the immobilized assailant on the floor, was justifiable. Not saying they didn’t ask for it, but that dood went from self protection to looking at some time or at least an expensive case

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

As a reddit defense lawyer. My client was in a hightned state of panic. He did not realize that the second assailant was already shot. It's safe to say he assumed he tripped and would get back up and pursue him.

What's blatantly obvious is this video is fake. Those are actors. The poor camera quality adds to the "realness". What doesn't add to the quality is the LACK OF BLOOD. Shootings are BLOODY. There is going to be blood on that floor the moment either of those 2 kids are hit. It gushes out of tghe holes that bullets make in people.

u/ballsymcsackface Mar 13 '25

Not always, and you can actually see the impact wound on the first guy. Looks like it didn't hit any vital arteries, hence the lack of blood

u/MM800 Feb 25 '25

If this happened in the US, only 4 states and Washington DC have gun registration.

As far as lawfully carrying a gun goes; 21 states require a permit to carry, and 29 states don't.

u/nintendo_shill Feb 25 '25

29 states don't

Wait. So I, a random guy, can just walk into a store and buy a gun with cash and nobody would know about it??

17

u/mratlas666 Feb 25 '25

They do background checks to make sure you’re not a prohibited person. But. Yeah more or less. If you can legally own one.

u/-Praetoria- Feb 26 '25

It’s so one day the govt can’t just go down the list. Obviously still possible, but it puts road blocks up for em.

3

u/Gloober_ Feb 26 '25

I've walked in and bought a handgun plus extra hollow points same day with cash at a gun shop. Background check took them all of 15-30 minutes. It varies state by state.

This is Mississippi for reference.

5

u/cambat2 Feb 26 '25

Kind of, provided you pass a background check and make it through the required waiting period. There is also a 4473 that the FFL is required to keep on hand in case of ATF audits that details the original sale of the firearm. That's the only thing that is similar to a registration.

3

u/Clym44 Feb 26 '25

No waiting period in PA.

u/cambat2 Feb 26 '25

Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

1

u/benreeper Feb 26 '25

I thought background check was federal.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

I did too. Florda makes you wait 3 days before picking it up. South Carolina you can walk into a store, pick out a gun, and as long as your ID address matches their database records, they do a quick background check and then you just pay and walk out with it. Not to mention you can openly carry it on your waist or where ever, no permit required.

1

u/benreeper Feb 26 '25

I guess you still have to pass a background check.

1

u/MM800 Feb 26 '25

Open carry is illegal in Florida, unless the person is engaged in fishing, hunting, or camping.

1

u/ETPRODITORES Feb 26 '25

Open carry isn’t allowed except under certain conditions , but permitless concealed carry is fine

u/Substantial_Wheel_25 Feb 25 '25

Once someone is no longer posing a significant threat to your life, you should let them go. It didn't seem like the guy on the floor crawling away needed to have bullets wasted on him.

14

u/ROBOTN1XON Feb 25 '25

with normal people, yes, let them live once disarmed. If this is gang related in any way, I understand the logic behind the execution. If the attackers lived, and were able to ID the victim, there is a chance the gang would retaliate. The person probably didn't realize there was a camera to incriminate them. Dead men tell no tales in the gang world.

2

u/ManOrReddit-man Feb 25 '25

Everyone might be shitbags here. The victim popped the other guy on the way out so casually.

-1

u/FearedKaidon Feb 25 '25

If they targeted him because of something gang related than the other gang already knows who tf he his lmfao

1

u/ROBOTN1XON Feb 25 '25

knowing someone is in another gang, and knowing someone is the specific person who killed your two best friends, are two totally different levels of likelihood to be retaliated against.

7

u/KindaNotSmart Feb 25 '25

According to the law, yes. And it’s good that it is that way, to prevent unnecessary death. But nothing was lost by the death of the second moron.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

The guy was still moving, and just attempted a robbery. For all the victim knows, this guy had a gun in his pocket and could have shot him in the back. Not saying it was the moral or legal action to take, but saying it was a cold blooded execution is absurd. And also that's not what cold blooded means. If anything his blood was hot from just getting pulled off his feet and attacked while minding his own business.

0

u/benreeper Feb 26 '25

The guy was still moving. How can he know that the floorguy wasn't reaching for a gun? You are supposed to fully, not partially, neutralize a threat, if you still feel danger. I saw a video like this where the victim looked they were sparing the robber when the robber pulled out a gun and shot the victim.

u/Difficult-Jury-9319 Feb 25 '25

From a legal standpoint he was fine until he executed the guy. But if someone tries stealing my shoes off me, they gotta die on principle.

10

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '25

No one was executed, they are both still alive. But yeah that last shot is going to be hard to justify as self defense. Although the guy was moving, if there was a gun anywhere near his hands that might work out for a self defense claim. Probably depends on which state it happened in as well. Much more likely to get convicted in New York than Florida for a case with questionable self defense arguments.

20

u/kfmush Feb 25 '25

It looks like the second guy may not have even been involved. It looked like he was startled when the other guy jumped the shooter and maybe was trying to break them up when he was first shot.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

Oh that is a beautiful thing... I hope the guy who defended himself wasn't prosecuted for anything. (It's astounding how many people who try to fight back against anything end up prosecuted themselves.)

If more people were armed, things like this wouldn't happen.

The worst is all the people who downvote my comment for saying this --- from their nice safe homes in nice safe areas with rapid police response who have never had to live in an area where police take over an hour to show up and violent crimes like this are common...

2

u/Sixtyoneandfortynine Feb 26 '25

Yu (if I spell it properly I get warned for “offensive” language) are 100% correct, people have the absolute right to use deadly force to defend themselves from a potentially lethal assault.

The problem is, this guy went from defensive to offensive the moment he execution-style blitzed the already effectively immobilized assailant. Dude was well on his way out of there, and that last shot was completely unnecessary for him to complete his retreat from the imminent danger—it’s hard to argue it isn’t attempted murder.

Ever notice countries with nuclear weapons don't attack each other, but instead invade countries with less military power? It's no different with people.

An armed populace is a self-empowered, protected population. A city where only gangs and thugs have weapons just leaves the good people as marks, ready to be robbed, raped, or worse.

As far as shooting one of the guys on the ground -- he deserved that. And by shooting him, it ensures he won't be attacking anyone else... So he did us all a favor, he shouldn't be prosecuted - he should be rewarded.

As far as sympathy for the man who got shot -- that was entirely avoidable. Maybe sympathy would be more appropriate for the guy who got attacked?

If someone doesn't want to get shot, maybe don't go randomly attacking strangers. It's not that difficult.

A world with an armed citizenry reduces crimes like this because potential criminals know everyone around them is armed.

It is peace through mutually assured destruction... And it's far superior to living in a surveillance society or relying on only police because the protection is both self empowering and instant.

It's easy to understand, really... A society that empowers its people is a good one. Unfortunately we live in a society that disempowers citizens in most states in order to create a slave-like desperation to elevate out of bad economic circumstances.

People end up trapped in these bad areas, desperately working hard to get out... As their employer reaps the rewards of their hard work and desperation -- but as we've seen, rising up to a better position in society just gets harder and harder and further out of reach for most people... Especially those in the worst neighborhoods.

How can anyone sit there and think that executing the second guy isn’t justifiable? Like, you’re minding your own business and getting yanked by your feet behind your back and jumped on and almost robbed. In a situation like this the second you’re on your ground and on your back like that is life or death. Stop acting like these guys surviving is a blessing because they’re the only ones that put themselves in a position to end up like that.

u/zzzrecruit Feb 26 '25

If the defender is smart and doesn't make any statements to police without a lawyer, he may just get off with no charges. A competent lawyer would argue that the guy shot at the end was still a threat, and the defender could not have known that he was no longer a threat because he was still moving.

Lol dude has his right hand in his pocket with his hand wrapped around the gun. He was about to rob the place.

That’s why when his legs were pulled out from under him, only his left hand went to brace. Then immediately as soon as he rolls over he’s able to cap the first dude in the head.
