Saw this video on CNN and thought people would enjoy it.

You have to get past the intro add but it's worth the effort to see what happened in the actual surveillance video. I don't want to spoil it but I'm sure someones shorts had to be cleaned later that night.

This makes me smile every time I see it. It's nice to see someone fight back.

He had a SF shirt on... Wonder if he was a group guy?

Smooth operation of his sidearm on the veterans part. Shows the difference between a punk with a pistol and a trained man with a firearm.

Nice smooth draw.....nice reaction.

 

[amlove21]

Nice. That is freaking awesome.

 

[Muppet]

Fucking wicked hard core. That was awesome.

F.M.

The vet did say if he would have seen the bad guy's barrel there would've been a cleanup on isle three kind of outcome.

He'd have been justified as things were, at least in my Commonwealth.

Good for him. Hope they find the perp before he tries to do this again. The next store clerk might not be as competent.

 

[Salt USMC]

That was damn cool

Probably a dumb question but why didn't the veteran apprehend the perp?

I mean the perp could just be lurking somewhere outside the store waiting for the right time to off him.

Attempting an apprehension would add to the danger exponentially. He could--should--have just shot him and called for a clean-up on aisle 2.

Calling the police and cooperating after the fact was the right move.
