This week, a video was posted online of a seemingly lost and disoriented man being swarmed by a group of young people, then sucker punched, robbed, and stripped naked of his clothing on a downtown Baltimore street. It's not clear where the video was first posted, but it made it to the now typical stops for such shock clips: Worldstarhiphop, LiveLeak, YouTube, Twitter.
What could have been just another tantalizing video turned into something else: outraged viewers say they have tracked down the identity of the man who threw the first punch, and police have connected a victim - who had reported an assault and theft to police but couldn't remember where it occurred - to the incident. Police say an investigation is moving forward.
You can fit a Saiga 12 under there with the 12 round drum magazine. 12 rounds of 12gauge, ruins any rampaging mobs’ day.
Seriously?
I had not heard that.
I havent been there in a few years.
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.
One purpose of the Race pimps pushing the Trayvon issue is to disarm the public , so their constituents can do this even more frequently.
Shorter version: “Judged by twelve or carried by six. Your call.”
Where’s our useless president. That’s right we have a dictator, shame on me.
Precisely.
No situational awareness.
The thugs [and their silly pits] part like the Red Sea.
When he sees a "group" coming towards us, he really ramps up the "You're all MINE" challenging strut.
Apparently it's very psychologically effective.
You plant corn, you get corn. Right Soledad?
I live in the burbs ... Brunswick to be exact. Not like I live downtown or anything. Most of my neighbors are armed and ready.
A friend of mine went with me to a Baseball game in Oakland a couple of years ago. We made a wrong turn into a neighborhood, and I swear, we could absolutely feel the hate. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
I believe it will open in May.
Cowards both...
Maybe Obama will be sure to give them plenty of grant money to buy gas by then.
Apparently it's very psychologically effective.
There is no doubt about that! Good looking dog!
Just dont ruin the old skyline
Nice pic of the skyline, but I cant wait to get the F* out of this sh*t hole state.
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.
