If there was a more graphic demonstration of making checks with your mouth that your body can’t cash, it is this one.
And once again and because it should be a personal mantra:
Your number one philosophy for personal security should be a life long commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
Avoidance: The act of avoiding or keeping away from (Three Stupid Rule.) If you can safely retreat from the encounter, by all means do so. For instance, if you are out for a walk and feel threatened or intimidated by an occupant of a car, you should retreat in the opposite direction that the car is traveling.
Deterrence: The act of discouraging someone from taking hostile action against you by being aware of them and their possible intent.
De-escalation: The act of decreasing in intensity. To not let your ego or emotions get the best of you, to refrain from escalating the problem into more than it already is. As a CCW you may need to back down from non-life threatening, argumentative encounters in order to not allow things to spiral out of control.
When these things do not work, then and only then may you need to show or use the gun. Just because we are carrying does not mean that we need to use the gun. You want to do whatever is reasonably possible to avoid using the gun. But when your well researched, well thought out “line in the sand” has been crossed you need to act without hesitation.The “Three Stupid” Rule
“Do not go to stupid places, with stupid people, and do stupid things”
I believe we can say the Stupid got worn out on this one.
The most amazing thing about that video is that the couple stands completely still for the first six gunshots. On the seventh, Mr “I’m a badass and you’re a pu**y who isn’t going to do anything” runs away screaming like a little bitch, leaving his wife standing there unprotected. She, too, stands there screaming obscenities at the shooter until she’s hit.
In other places, commenters suggested that the wife fired the first shot…she does appear to draw from her hip and point something, and there may or may not be muzzle blast apparently coming from her extended hand.
I’m not 100% convinced because I don’t see her drop anything when she hits the ground and her being armed isn’t mentioned in any of the press reports.
Life Rule, kids: If someone you’ve had a beef with for years suddenly comes at you with a gun, screaming “DO IT PU**Y” while armed with nothing but a snowshovel is not a good survival strategy.
She was pulling her cellphone out to record video as has become the almost Pavlovian reaction anytime shit like this goes pear shaped.
Basically brought an iPhone to a shooting.
“Basically brought an iPhone to a shooting.”
Quote of the day.
Wow, that is chilling. Classic example of taunting beyond the breaking point (and a woman stupidly egging on the men, pushing for proxy violence when she thinks it’s safe for her to instigate further escalation: “Let’s you and him fight!” She never imagined that she’s get some of that violence, too.
I can’t imagine dying over a verbal disagreement. Such a waste of life.
As Larry Niven would say, “Think of it as evolution in action. “
Wow. Just wow.
To paraphrase the immortal words of Kenny Rogers:
You’ve got to know when to hold ’em. Know when to fold ’em. Know when to shut the fuck up and walk away before you say some shit that has real consequences.
I don’t condone it but, from the video and discussion online, this looks like the Pennsylvania remake of Falling Down. Between Covidiocy, the political landscape, and all the other fuckery, a lot of people are about 1/8 of a turn from a total thread strip.
The commentary before the anchor shots (“Should have kept your ******* mouth shut” and “Pussy, huh?”) just made me think this kind of stuff had been going on for a long time and this was just the grand finale. In the end, their mouths wrote checks their asses paid for with their lives.
The really interesting part would be what this was about. Probably something totally stupid like they wouldn’t allow the other to back out of the driveway first when both met at the street or something equally idiotic. Lotta hate there to go back in and get a long gun to finish it….
One side thought the other was tossing the snow on their property….
As stated: Stupid
The really interesting part would be what this was about. Probably something totally stupid like they wouldn’t allow the other to back out of the driveway first when both met at the street or something equally idiotic. I have walked away several times, knowing I was legally armed and a parking space or something else stupid wasn’t worth going where THAT just went…Lotta hate there to go back in and get a long gun to finish it….
anyone know what handgun / caliber was used? I cannot find anything online / dont know where to look.

Pretty good local news report
Absolutely stupid and unacceptable! Talk about being a dumb-arse! You do NOT taunt anyone who is carrying a firearm, much less stand there and call them names while they are shooting at you!
