a knife agianst two people with a shotgun and knife. uym yeah i would have given them my money and cellphone. yeah he got lucky. but seriously i would have jsut gave them what they wanted. kung fu master or not im not stupid.
plus if they shot him below the waste, its not attempted manslaughter.

also he knew where to stab to kill them, thats what marines teach. he could have stabbed them not to kill them.

 

Then I would have shot you after you gave me the loot

 

One of my old neighbors in SD was a cop, he said to keep a cheap gun with no serial numbers on it, and keep it clean...plant it on someone if shit goes down in your house.

:rick:

 

Remember that one time that dude busted through your door, you shot him then planted that cheap gun with no serial number on it...




































I don't either, but it would have been tighth:

 

That is retarded. Just pointing a gun at someone is attmepted murder by definition in most states. And no you can't just stab someone to subdue and not kill them. That is hollywood bullshit.

 

As much as I'm glad the robbers got what was coming to them, I have to agree with Lueb, because of this:

He got lucky. If the gun had worked, the headline would probably have been very different.

No it isn't, it's called brandishing a firearm.

 

So either way someone would have gotten hurt/killed :dunno: Correct?

 

:yay:


Fuckin awesome... I love stories like that.


Makes me feel all warm and tingly inside

 

Buddy, do you even know what the hell you're talking about?

First of all, you can't say how you would have acted in a situation like that because adrenaline and instincts change everything. Not to mention, you weren't there and couldn't possibly know the full details.

Second, when you shoot at someone with a shotgun or a pistol, you're not thinking "Gee maybe if I aim for his legs." No, you aim the business end at the target and you pull the trigger praying that you put them down.

Lastly, as a former Marine, I know what they teach. They taught us to aim for the neck and the chest and the face. Once you get a stab in, don't stop stabbing till your target is limp. The sooner you drop your target, the more time you have to engage other targets and remove the threat. None of this "Oh yeah, if you stab him in the leg he will be immobile."

Go let your heart bleed somewhere else please.

 

Not necessarily. Statistically, they are more likely to just take the money and leave. He took a gamble by running and getting his knife out that he would be able to fight them off, and that's certainly his right to try. Also, he has at least some training in this area, but even so, there was the element of luck in his ability to win. Your average person on the street would probably not be so lucky.
