the guy taking the slug got what he deserved, as he was a Viet-Cong terrorist. which hardly justifies grouping him with lawyers.

Why would anyone want to shoot a lawyer? They are among America's most respected people, behind pornographers and carjackers. Good question.

What's so bizarre is that the shooter was literally inches away from his victim. And that tree ain't exactly a California redwood!
The lawyer really kept his cool or just reacted instinctively.......playing dodge-'em till the perp stopped firing or maybe ran out of bullets.
Another look at the tape leads me to believe that when the photog was trailing the shooter who was walking away, the perp turned around and looked at him. It appeared to me that he then made a move toward his pocket, perhaps to shoot the camera guy. Watch for it. See what you think.
Then, like the cavalry, out of nowhere comes the heroic off-duty officer who makes that flying neck-hold and bring-down of the old dude in the twinkling of an eye.
Wow, I was so gobsmacked that it was hard to concentrate on any of my housework for a while.

That was some impressive bobbing and weaving by the lawyer.

Wow look at that! The blonde just nonchalantly keeps up the yickity yak on the phone while the fat guy plugs away 15ft in front of her.

Would you take a bullet for a lawyer?? You're in a locked room with a snake, a lion and a lawyer. You have a gun with two bullets. What do you do?
Ans: shoot the lawyer. Twice.

That is disgusting. No, that is L.A.

Any attack on an attorney (an officer of the court) constitutes an attack on all of our most important traditions and institutions. That's why this is such a particularly heinous offense.

Look in the background at the woman on the phone Yeah I've been looking at that woman on the phone. Stupid cameraman was focusing on some argument between two middle aged-men.
