Getting comfortable
Not my video but this occurred yesterday a few miles from my house, suspect killed his girlfriend in front of his daughter
I can see the Attorney claiming all sorts of stuff...At the rate we are going...watch his attorney say something like he was not made aware that he was going to be video and audio taped, so the video is tossed out in court...
It's a cold blooded murder not a spur of the moment loss of control, The guy's driven deliberately to her house to shoot her. I'd hazard a guess there's either some element of infedilitly or suspected infedelity from someone who's paranoid, or there's some kind of break up going on. Just guesses though.OMG....I hope that POS dies a very slow, agonizing, horrible and painful death. Then burns in hell. I am so sorry for the woman and especially the little girl. WTF could she have done to justify this and to make him so angry? Nothing, that's what.
Don’t see how that would help unless she carried a gun with her all the time?Ladies, get self defense training.
Which is allowed in some US States.. see the topic of Concealed carry, or carrying a concealed weapon (CCW)Don’t see how that would help unless she carried a gun with her all the time?
No. She had time to run. She had time to draw and fire.Even if she had had a gun I don’t think she had time to react.
And this was why I posted what I did in post #3: "At the rate we are going...watch his attorney say something like he was not made aware that he was going to be video and audio taped, so the video is tossed out in court... " I guess we will never know now since he killed himself, but I could see that happening. Crazier things have happened.No. She had time to run. She had time to draw and fire.
The English Bill of Rights (1689) was a 'right to arms guarantee' which has been castrated over the years, but was very influential to the framers of the US Bill Of Rights (The 2nd amendment giving every citizen the right to keep and bear arms). So way back when, there was not much difference in opinion. Technically, self-defense is still legal in Britain, but in practice, any act of self-defense is subject to a prosecutor’s second-guessing of what is “reasonable.” For example, Brett Osborn is serving a 5-year sentence for manslaughter. In order to protect a friend, “He stabbed a blood-covered, drug-crazed intruder…”. His prosecution stemmed from the fact that he failed to warn the criminal that he had access to a knife.
There are multiple facets to self defense. Not all of them involve a gun.Don’t see how that would help unless she carried a gun with her all the time?
FYI - time to draw a weapon from on body holster = 1.5-2 seconds if you've practiced.Even if she had had a gun I don’t think she had time to react.
Situational awareness and yes, carry a gun at all times. That pos, just ruin a lot of lives, because he didn’t have control over his emotions.Don’t see how that would help unless she carried a gun with her all the time?
If you go through the video slowly and pauise it, you can see she has time to reach the front door of the house before he even makes it onto the drive from the sidewalk. There were 3 cars she could have taken a defensive position behind - the 1 she got out of, the saloon to the right and the one by the front door. Probably she wouldn't have wanted to use the one she got out of for risk of putting her daughter in the firing line. Reviewing the video the best one to me looks like the car by the door, dodging behind the rear, drawing unseen from cover, watching underneath and ambushing him from a kneeled position as he's in the open as he runs between the one she got out of and the saloon. Yes the rear of the car doesn't provide the best protection. However, he's in the open in a pinch point between the other 2 vehicles as he approaches and if he doesn't see her draw as she draws from concealment, he probably won't take the route around the saloon to the right nor will he expect a fight so will be unlikely to be pre-aiming or in a ready position. He'll most likely run flat out as seen with the intention of running around the rear, bringing the gun up then and firing.Even if she had had a gun I don’t think she had time to react.
