in today's armed robbery we get to see
negligence that leads a threat into a
shooting
[Music]
hi everyone welcome to today's analysis
here at active self-protection I am your
host John Korea today we have another
video out of Houston Texas it's not
particularly graphic but it is serious
so viewer discretion advised Palm pepper
spray has recently reformulated for even
more effect when you bless the deserving
with the hot sauce Palm is what I use
between a harsh word and a gun and
encourage everyone to do likewise watch
this guy walk in here he's got a gun in
his hand already and he's got to kind of
lean over the counter the clerk comes up
watch what he does here he just brings
the gun up shoots him right in the face
not had said a single word to him just
shoots him right in the face when the
clerk is still up he's going to come
over he actually transition the gun to
his right hand punch the clerk in the
face several times again clerk kind of
runs off here so this dude now is going
to try to get into the registers on his
own and he can't figure out a way to get
the registers open and so guess what the
new story that I've Linked In the
description says he got away with no
money the clerk did run off here and and
then our perp is going to run off as
well Houston Petey's still looking for
this guy if you've seen him please turn
him into them would you all right I
think that that was actually a negligent
discharge and not a purposeful shot but
before we get to the lessons and I tell
you why leave me a comment why you think
I believe that when this guy walks into
the store he already has a gun in his
hand so if you're the clerk man this is
why paying attention to your
surroundings saying hi to everybody who
comes in the door I think just giving
yourself that time remember attention
buys you time time buys you options so
make sure you pay attention to your
world and remember we want to look at
people brief glance at the eyes eyes are
the windows to their soul then brief
glance at the hands hands are the
windows to the intent and if you look at
those now you might see oh geez that
guy's got a gun in his hand or he's got
something in his hands that I need to be
aware of so you don't walk up
nonchalantly because it kind of hides
that here now notice here God just
brings up and this is the moment that
that shot is going to break and and I
think that this is almost certainly a
negligent discharge now it's possible
that it's not this is just absolutely
cold-blooded murder but I think that if
it was cold-blooded murder and he wanted
the guy dead but when he crossed the
counter he would have shot him again I I
think that what happened here instead is
that he just brings the gun up and and I
think his intent was probably really to
you know just to threaten him with it
but he's just stupid with a gun and so
because he's stupid with a gun that gun
he's going to press it out there and the
gun is going to go off so assume again
if a perp wants to you know point a gun
at you assume not only are do they have
malevolent intent but that they are
stupid enough with that gun to shoot you
even if they don't intend to and you
notice here that our perk puts the gun
down in that moment and he kind of looks
down at it like oh no what just happened
again I I'm gonna guess this one was
negligent but that doesn't matter
recognize that from the clerk's
perspective he has just been shot in the
face the other side of that of course is
that this clerk has just been shot in
the face but he's still conscious if you
are still conscious you still are in the
fight so this is one of the reasons man
I would recommend gosh why isn't this
clerk carrying his own firearm and get
after this guy because the guy punches
him right in the face after shooting him
in the face what incredible shoot spot
that is
but as a clerk you've got to keep taking
steps to make yourself safer now of
course we don't see that from the clerk
here because it's off camera but we're
gonna see him eventually run out of the
door and get away and get himself to a
safer place and that tells me he is
emotionally present and he's trying to
get away and I think that that shows
incredible emotional Fitness and work on
your emotional Fitness friends so that
you are able to stay in the moment and
make yourself safer yes I wish this
clerk also had his firearm on him so
that in that moment once he recognized
he's still okay that he could stop this
threat definitively also just please
remember that that if a perp has a gun
if a purpose willing to point a gun at
you they may not intend even on shooting
you with that gun but they may be bad
enough with it that they just
negligently do so so take every threat
when someone points a gun at you
absolutely seriously as if it is deadly
force because just like this one you may
end up shot and still have to cover your
asp
