below it's apparently a nice night in
Tacoma and these guys are sitting in
their garage with their garage door up
apparently having a little poker game
and uh you're going to see some armed
robbers show up from the left side we
have audio let's listen into what
happens
[Music]
up now from the outside here I have sped
it up just for the sake of time and you
can see that one guy chased that dude
outside and is kind of wailing a tune on
him you can see in the very bottom low
left where they're kind of whooping up
on the other guy as well so it's kind of
two-on-one in the bottom left oneon-one
in the top left and they're going to
kind of go after each other for a little
bit here and it's the bottom one that
has the gun it's the one on the left
right now he's got the gun and there's
two guys trying to wrestle that rifle
away from him now their getaway driver
shows up I don't know if that was the
first guy I think it was a third one
according to into the news story and now
he is going to actually bash into their
car not once but twice until their their
his buddies get in the car and off he
goes and then we go back to the other
one you can see they've taken his rifle
away turns out that was a 22 caliber
rifle that they gave to the police when
uh the police finally arrived they did
end up calling the cops on this one
they've arrested two of the three of
these one was a juvenile one was a young
adult they are still on the lookout for
the driver the car was stolen man good
for these guys for standing up for
themselves pretty dangerous but I think
it gives us some good lessons too now
first off is it reasonable to sit and
play cards or poker whatever in your
garage with the garage door up I think
the answer to that is yes but I do want
you to pay attention to the fact that
your garage with the garage door up is a
transitional space it's a place that
people can attack with an element of
surprise you are there and and again if
they're gambling for money you got
valuables and they can get away quickly
so it is a transitional space it is a
place to pay attention they are paying
attention you notice here they're all
paying paying attention to what's going
on outside okay fine but remember that
paying attention only really helps you
if you are prepared to do something
about a threat that's not being paranoid
that is paying attention and being
prepared for what can come so that you
can live a life of curiosity now dude
shows up with the rifle okay fine hands
up and I think that that kind of uh you
know purposeful compliance is very very
smart but I think this little pawing at
the rifle was not we see this all the
time that was a little test hey dude
don't point that at me whatever and that
is a social challenge okay so that kind
of half-hearted resistance could have
gotten him badly hurt it can also be
seen as a an ego attack um and turn this
into social violence so I don't
recommend that at all again hands up
surrender don't do the paing at him
thing if you're going to put your hand
on that rifle it's time to go right now
and go hard especially because you don't
know if you're going to get another
opportunity to put your hand on that
rifle now this pawing at it I think is
going to cause what we're going to see
here a little bit later because what
goes down here is you see these guys are
kind of talking give me your stuff blah
blah blah and they're like nah man we
don't have anything I don't know what
you're talking about and then what's
going to end up happening here is that
pisses this guy off and so again social
violence in this particular case that he
muzzle punches this guy now pointing a
gun at him was aggravated assault to
begin with but I also want you to
remember a couple things number one I
I've never been hit with a muzzle in the
face like that it is I'm sure incredibly
painful number two remember what we see
on the channel on a pretty regular basis
is that generally somebody that uses a
firearm as a bludgeoning tool like this
is generally not willing to use it it's
not 100% we have seen instances where
that's not true but as a general rule it
indicates that he doesn't want to shoot
somebody that doesn't mean he's not a
deadly threat to you that does mean
though that you can probably say okay
cool if I go after this I'm on the upper
hand because this guy is not serious
about what's going on it gives you some
attitude indicators about what's
happening again it's not 100% though so
you better assume that it's loaded that
it's real and that he's willing to use
it on you if he presents a firearm at
you now instead our dude here decides
he's going to go from all the way over
here and he starts attacking when a guy
starts grabbing his money and and you
notice first of all he comes from off of
his seat and he's going from a long way
away secondly he attacks the guy who's
not armed both of those were mistakes in
my opinion remember launch your counter
Ambush when you're close enough to be
effective when you are inside his
reactionary Gap number two dude it's the
guy with the gun that you really got to
worry about about so when you launch a
counter Ambush on the other guy you put
yourself at Mortal risk because again
you got to assume that other guy is
willing to use the firearm now our other
guys thankfully take that opportunity as
well they don't get paralyzed and they
just go to work now what do we see in
counter ambushes at work speed surprise
and violence of action it's really not
about technique it's about a willingness
to go ham and and to really do stuff now
I think that combined with good
technique is the best right so
understanding what how do I use my hands
my feet my elbows my knees in an unarmed
self-defense context now if these guys
are carrying in their garage so much the
better and deal with it that way but
given that that's not the case here
again going hard and being fully
committed to that action speed and
surprise and violence is where it's at I
do want to notice here though that
recognize the deadly threat that
continues to exist this guy coming in
and bashing into their car is absolutely
a deadly threat to our Defenders he is
using that to threaten them that he will
kill them with the car if they don't let
his buddy go and so I I want to
recognize this is a continuing deadly
threat so listen I I get that they're
going to continue to fight they don't
want the guy to have the gun that's
really really wise that gun is going to
be turned on you if you don't but
recognize this is a deadly threat and
this is one of the reasons that I say
hey if you're going to be out here in
the garage you're going to be playing
poker and all that stuff probably
carrying at home is a really good idea
in this case now he's got the firearm
okay great I would tell you even if
you're not a firearm afficionado even if
you don't like guns you should know how
to unload one and show it clear know the
general ways to do that for a rifle for
a shotgun for a pistol so that you can
again unload this gun so you're not
waving it around everywhere render it
safe I love the fact that they went back
in the garage here and lowered the
garage door as well of course you want
to win the call to 911 you want to be
the one that calls 911 says hey these
guys attacked us we took their firearm
away they drove off in their car we need
help these guys did that excellent for
them on that I'm really glad that the
police were able to arrest both these
guys but even with the arrests coming
just a few minutes later recognized the
only way that Justice prevailed here the
only way that they were able to protect
themselves is they did it the cops
weren't able to do it so you got to have
the attitude the skills and the plan to
cover your rasp and these guys did
