While I have my CCW, you’re in a lose-lose situation in this case with the *least* of the bad outcomes being the beating that was videotaped.
Look how sudden and random the attack is. They are goofing off prior to that. If at any point *prior* to the attack he had drawn, they probably would have provoked him to fire. Since they were videoing it, it would have been used as evidence that he hadn’t been defending himself and he’d go to jail for a long, long time (where’d he suffer much worse attacks).
If you had a CCW and the attack occurred, you’d likely be a bit dazed. Your ability to effectively draw and fire in that situation is compromised. They were mobbed around him. It’s highly likely they would have pounced with a much MORE murderous intent. They’d have his gun and he’d probably be dead.
His problem is that he let himself get in a losing situation to begin with. Their problem is that they are savages and *should* be shot. Our problem is that we can’t shoot them or we wind up like Zimmerman.
Precisely.
No situational awareness.
I watched the video and I was amazed by his lack of situational awareness. He was being encircled and the women were clearly in on it from my perspective.
