There’s one odd aspect to this episode. The off-duty cop who did shoot the kid....fired the first round direct into the chest area and the kid went down.....then apparently attempted to get back up and continue. No one says much about the caliber but it has to be something bigger than a 22.
But this begs the question....with a regular pistol....if you fired into a guy....a good round into the chest...wouldn’t he just stay down? Or was this guy hyped up on some drug episode and carrying on with excess energy?
Adrenaline
Most of the ISIS barbarians are hopped up on an amphetamine that used to be available in this country and prescribed for ADHD. The people taking it had such terrible side effects that the FDA banned it. Now the primary place of manufacture is Syria. What a coincidence! Somalis use a lot of khat which is s mild stimulant. Wouldn’t be surprised if most of these “American” jihadis are on something but you’ll never learn it from the US media.
you would think a cc instructor would be packing something with more muscle than say a 22?
however other smaller cal autos are popular cc that may not have put down power.
iirc, from stories back in the day druggies on PCP were hard to put down on the first shot.
adrenaline rush could keep um getting back up?
he could have been wearing a vest?
