When we were little it seems everyone played a board game called "life". You spin the wheel and move foreward. Sometimes you get married, go to college and other "niceties".

At no time did you "act the fool" with a gun in front of the cops!
BTW. Who shot the water? I hope it was a ricochet. :-/.

crazy dude. Did anyone see what kind of rifle it was? The splash you saw I think was a round from the cops the camera dude is extremely lucky. It looked like the cops shot from the wall in the background you see some white hat sticking up over the top. Looks like mr. camera dude was in the line of fire.

I think the cops were aiming at his legs to avoid putting rounds into the idiots gathered. Bullet went into the water due to the angle down of the round as he hit the ground.

 

[matefrio]

so, as a CHL holder you see a guy like that...
engage or retreat?

I'm of the mindset only fools rush in to that type of situation as civilians.

Yet another examle of people that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. Idiot, cops would have been well within to kill the stupid basterd, instead, now the tax payers will have to pay for his upkeep probably for the rest of his life. JMTC

Was he pointing his rifle at his own head? Did he fire a round down into the ground about half way through? I wonder what the hell he was trying to accomplish? He was asking to get shot for sure.

Turn up the volume, he was literally asking to get shot at one point.

 

[DMC]

What happened at 35s? Did he fire? Was he fired at?

At work, have to keep the volume low. Thanks for the input.

I think the media said it was a unregistered 50 caliber AK-47 with a 500 round "clip", loaded with armor-piercing-incendiary-nuclear tipped-nonhunting rounds, that he bought at a local convenience store with no paperwork or background check that he had modified to full auto with some dental floss and a hair pin.

(He might have even made the bullets vastly more deadly by scratching an "X" across the top of them, but that is not confirmed.)

Lmao

I won't engage him directly but I would fall back 50-100yds behind good cover and call 911.
If he started shooting people before the cops got there then I might feel compelled to intervene but not for some nut acting squirrelly while holding an AK.

Attempted suicide by cop. As a CHL holder one would be well advised to back away and seek substantial cover.

Really? Because police shoot to kill not to stop the threat right?
