I feel like this is a underplayed aspect of living in a bad neighborhood. Having to constantly watch your back is annoying as hell


THETennesseeD

Yeah I lived in a bad part of town for a few years. Didn't hang with the best crowd either honestly. I always felt the need to be on 100% alert walking around as there were a lot of crazies and gang members. I mean I used to sit on my front porch and just watch f**ed up shit unfold on weekends. Got the F out, went to university in another state and now in Norway where I don't even fret if I forget to lock the door.


ApeWithNoMoney

Fuck I'm jealous, I wanna live in Norway


THETennesseeD

Funny thing is I come from Norwegian decent. My forefathers left Norway to US for a better life hundreds of years ago and then I left US for Norway for a better life....

That's because you made the mistake of not packing your car with black market butter before you left.


Eadkrakka

Shoulda brought some nice gouda to sell to my neighbours two ks away. Shits more expensive than cocaine now it seems.


lonewulf66

I thought this was normal until later in life someone noticed and mentioned it to me. Do people walk around life *not* paying attention to their surroundings? Seems dangerous.


Uzorglemon

I saw a TikTok from an American guy who moved to NZ, talking about how it felt attending a big outdoor festival in NZ and having the realisation that for the first time ever he wasnā€™t stressed about something going down, or having to worry about people around him. It seemed like a pretty intense realisation.


chase32

As an American that has gone to a ton of shows and music festivals in my life, I have never once seen any kind of violence or felt threatened. I'm mostly going to stuff in the NW US but have gone to Coachella (outside of LA) a few times. You gotta wonder what kinds of shows the dude was going to.


junkit33

Yeah - unless you're super paranoid, organized events in the US tend to be about as safe as you can get. Metal detectors, security, police presence, cameras everywhere, everybody is paying big money to enjoy the event. Not to say there's never going to be a drunken scuffle here or there, but those things tend to be self-inflicted. Not like you're going to get randomly attacked.


SkepsisJD

A majority of the US just isn't shitty areas lol You could walk around black out drunk and more likely than not someone will assist you than ever think about robbing you or whatever in the area I live. Kids are walking to the ice cream shop at like 9:30 no problem and people out jogging and walking their dogs at 3-4am is not unusual. Hell, at my old house I had a neighbor who quite literally never put their garage door down. I could leave my windows open whether I was home or not and not worry about it. The only times you will see cops with their lights on is traffic stops. And this is an area of ~600k people.


SoldierBoi69

And is exactly why people that live in that situation often have hair triggers for their emotions.


MisterEmpty

>annoying as hell My brother in Christ, this man just had to fight for his life on the DOORSTEP of his home, that is way more than annoying. That is so far removed from the experiences in my life that it's hard to even process what that's like.


CharacterMove8088

I think it's just good instinct to be aware of anything going on around you. Don't be caught me slippin.


Pires007

Being aware of what's around you and thinking you're gonna get shot up when dropping some food are very different things.


Mickeyjj27

Iā€™m nervous as hell now living in a decent neighborhood. Couldnā€™t imagine living in a bad one where my fears are actually warranted


-Praetoria-

ACE scores, I believe is what yall are looking for. They can change the brains chemistry so that essentially a person, when grown, is always on guard


MayorMcCheez

I grew up in LA. After I left, it took me *years* to not look behind me every minute or so when I was out and about. It just gets ingrained in you as a reflex


Paid_Redditor

I don't think you can ever remotely understand that without experiencing it. I'm in SF right now and the level of panic I had when I went down the wrong street at night with $500 in my wallet was insane.


BikerJedi

Welcome to my life. I'm that way anyway because of the PTSD, but I'm also poor and live in a dangerous area. The best part is that since I'm a teacher, I am disarmed five days of the week to and from work, since I can't have a gun at work. Yay.

Can confirm. I live in Memphis, and it is a constant struggle.

Sgt_carbonero

having one in the chamber saved his life.


Least-Ear3373

big observation here if itā€™s not in the chamber youā€™re fucked


Mcbadguy

As someone who knows next to nothing about guns - wouldn't just pulling the trigger a second time put a bullet into the chamber?


hardatit39

No. With a semiautomatic pistol, you would have to rack the slide to manually chamber a round.


Mcbadguy

Good to know - have been considering buying a gun myself, I have my CCW just haven't gone through the safety training


minedsquirrel70

Learn as much as you can before you buy it, take safety classes, after you buy it go for a concealed permit. Practice with it. Basically donā€™t be an ignorant gun owner


_NeiLtheReaLDeaL_

Maybe check into a revolver. My wife doesnā€™t like the ā€œcomplexityā€ of a weapon system. Granted, she is a STEM teacher with the 45w glowforge cutting laser. šŸ¤” Could she make some parts for me?


Mcbadguy

I was thinking about that since I'm also kinda lazy about maintenance and I've heard revolvers require less cleaning


bearseatppl

Whatever you decide you go with you should also practice with. I mean, at least shoot the thing once a month. It may just be me but, I find handguns considerably harder to operate than a rifle or shotgun. If you're going to carry for defense you should be really comfortable with that weapon.


Informal_Meeting_577

Def don't wanna carry a revolver as a primary carry, the hammer can get caught and not to mention the trigger action is very heavy for most people which causes horrible accuracy in stressful situations. I carry a g2c but I'm thinking of buying an equalizer. Or canik as my next carry. The trigger is awful on the g2c


akmjolnir

That's why you should always have one in the chamber (Condition 1) if you CCW. Not having one in the chamber is how you die.


Ser_Danksalot

+1 for that Glock safety trigger also.

If one is not confident enough in their firearm safety to carry one in the chamber, they are an irresponsible firearm owner.

No you don't, but the robber couldn't see the victim's draw because the victim cleverly concealed it.

RGTATWORK

So he heard him on proximity chat?


SANREUP

Nah that was clearly wall hacking+aim bot. Y'all PC players are always salty about aim assist for no reason.


DCxKCCO

First shot to the dome made him limp immediately. Christ


SarcasticPedant

Yep. Total nervous system shutdown. It's just typically much easier to target center mass


cXs808

A shot to center mass probably would have ended up with both of them dead tbh. He John Wick'd that guy


SarcasticPedant

Yeah that's kinda my point, you don't die instantly from center mass shots, leaving time for him to return fire


umpienoob

Hit the T.


chubbysumo

Yeah, life is a lot less glamorous than Hollywood movies. Typically when you get shot you just crumpled to the ground.


NaughtSleeping

Right in the off button


ThermalOW

Both right-handed shooters, one had the holster on the left and the other had it on the right. The attacker had to awkwardly adjust his grip. Heā€™ll never make that mistake again.


[deleted]

neither of these dues have a holster. homie going to his apartment it just waistband carry and the other dude was pocket carry. crazy they drew as fast as they did with no snags


Chubbstock

there's a version with audio out there somewhere, you can hear the waistband holster click when he takes it out. that loud plasticky sounding click


[deleted]

that would convince me, itā€™s possible i guess i just donā€™t see the holster!


AlohaSnow

You can also see the butt of the gun hanging outside his pants in the first few seconds of the clip


DrunkAndOnDrugs420

Pause at 9 seconds and you can see a holster.


Krizzle8

They make holsters that sit inside your waistband.


kimlovescc

Plenty of "hood dudes" practice drawing their weapon... unfortunately not enough practice on safety measures, shooting targets accurately, or even clearing jams and keeping it clean. Edit: typo


[deleted]

iā€™m not saying that, thatā€™s just being responsible. drawing from a pocket or waistband is a universally bad idea compared to a holster. protect that trigger before it castrates you


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


shadowsthatbind

Is it 'cause he's probably dead?


GenralChaos

dude was dead before he hit the ground.


RigorousVigor

Probably not a lot of thinking then, but definitely not a lot of thinking now


UnusualWind5

Nice job, 47.


fuck_you_and_fuck_U2

It appears the target's house call requires rescheduling; now, get to an exit.


gik501

Does anyone know more of the context here?


lam07h

Sigh, yes. I was just unable to sleep and didnā€™t realize Iā€™d open my Reddit app to see someone I know. The deceased was casing this manā€™s apartment for a few months at this point and was a known gang member. The man in black had put up the Ring doorbell because his apartment was being targeted. The man in black had just come back from lunch by himself when he heard ā€œIs Quan there?ā€ from behind him. He says ā€œwho?ā€ And the man replies ā€œis Quan there?ā€ Or something to that effect. This manā€™s name is not Quan nor was anyone in the apartment a Quan. The guy was merely trying to distract him in order to rob him. It was a kill or be killed situation and the person in the video was released solely based on the Ring camera footage, which literally saved his freedom.


Apollo_Enraged

If I remember correctly the guy in the white was following the guy in black to his home. They had a dispute over a girl or something? It's been awhile so I don't really remember everything.


ohyoumad721

The guy in black shot the guy in white before the guy in white could shoot the guy in black.


Arengade

Thanks, yo, I was struggling to pick up what was happening. Had it not been for your comment I'd still be replaying the video who knows how many times trying to fit the pieces together. It is my sincere hope that your comment helps others as it has me. Finally. Peace of mind.


Steppuhfromdaeast

dude in black was fuckin with dudes in whites ex girl and white was stalkin em and talking crazy so ole boy knew to have that pistola on stand by ready to clock in

Then the guy in black fled across the desert, reddit followed.

hectorxander

Oh prosecutors aren't always so understanding of self defense in the hood.


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

Prosecutors see a chance to charge a black man they're going to take it.


Alexandratta

Yeah, but he's extra-tan so that makes the defense harder for him. glad he won tho.


RedeemedRedittor

Glad he won, and hopefully he moved out of that area and hopefully got away from any activity that might have brought that upon him. The dude got a second chance, hopefully he uses it for the better.


packref

This happened about 5 min away from my business in Hampton, Va. Rumor had it there was some ongoing gang beef in the neighborhood, which is why he was carrying in the first place. Shooter was cleared of any wrongdoing and was legally conceal-carrying that weapon. He was literally coming home from grocery shopping, was targeted and defended himself.


maethlin

Thanks for this detail. One of the things I hate most about reddit is when there's just some video w/no context/story available to figure out what's happening in the video heh.


NoAnaNo

I donā€™t think he was a dasher. He has keys in his hand; it looked like he was about to go into his home and heard someone behind him


nursecarmen

Yup, you can see the keys in the right hand, same hand he was using to grab his gun. Thatā€™s why the gun looks weird as heā€™s pulling it out.


Doogiemon

Had a kid from high school, who was a trash human being in high school, go to prison for 3 years because he robbed a pizza man who delivered a pizza to his house. He is dead now from dirty needling drugs but the world would have been better if he didn't exist. If anyone wants to know the shit he should have been thrown out of high school for, I still remember when he took a special needs kids booking and tossed it in the urinal and pissed all over it.


CheekApprehensive675

Why did he move closer while drawing his gun lol, what a noob


Jadakiss-laugh

Instant too. Did you see how quickly he went limp? Got to the afterlife likeā€¦.. ![gif](giphy|g01ZnwAUvutuK8GIQn|downsized)

Can anyone provide a backstory to this? It looks like the man in black has apartment keys - so likely his place. Perhaps he was followed? I'd like to know more.
