Security Guard 1, Bad Guys 0 - Fast Reaction, Good Shooting
« on: September 03, 2012, 06:14:54 PM »
This video of a security guard in Brevard County, FL, fending off three armed attackers says it all.  The cops are calling it a good shoot, and even CNN is praising the guard for his quick reflexes and coolness under stress.

eta: Fixed the link.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I think the link is wrong. I get a video for a different story.
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both"

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

The correct video is in the link below.  
Very quick reactions by the guard.  He saw what was happening, drew, and fired almost before the crooks got inside

kept moving used some of what lil cover was available and steadily improved his position.
and good deal on them not releasing his name. i don't understand bleeping out the name of the guy he shot though, unless he already gave up his buds names
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Makes you wonder what goes on in them that they are targeted that much and need security gaurds.

Damn fine shooting, too.  Someone's been practicing.

His movement is what really impressed me. Draw and move for clear shot, shoot on the move while creating distance, and move to cover. Perfect.

Damn good job. Definitely looks trained.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith
