if you're gonna step in as a good
Samaritan to a third-party encounter you
better know the potential costs welcome
to today's active self-protection lesson
I'm your host John Correa today's video
comes to us from Los Angeles California
in the United States the new mantis x10
firearms performance system has all the
goodness of the original Plus holster
draw analysis and recoil analysis it's a
fantastic upgrade and I recommend it
highly the news stories that I've read
don't say what the initial conflict was
here but you see these guys you know
this guy that's a little bit older than
his mid-20s this other kid 16 years old
come up on this guy and talk with him
now the 16 year old punches a kid in the
face and now they're going after him for
some kind of altercation when the fourth
guy here is a good Samaritan he just
shows up and steps in between them says
hey guys let's stop fighting this is not
cool or whatever now they're gonna throw
a couple punches at him but what happens
is a 16 year old in the black shirt
pulls a gun and when the guy in the
white shirt tries to grab it he ain't
having it and shoots that guy in the
chest now they start running off and the
original victim here is going to run off
as well we see him get the heck out of
the danger zone but then what happens is
that the guy in the white shirt grabbed
a gun from the guy in the black shirt
came in and gave him a coup de Gras and
the police have arrested two guys in
connection with this but unfortunately
the victim didn't make it and that's
where this one ends tough stuff all the
way around here but lessons for us to
learn did you know that we always put a
link in the description to the Asperger
store I don't push it real hard because
I don't feel like that's the center part
of the channel but if you'd like to rep
the company we'd sure appreciate it so
you can hit that link and get some sweet
sweet merch let's get to some lessons
from today's video so this one is what
we call a classic case of social
violence we don't know what the original
thing was been in a lot of communities
particularly among young men that you
get what's known here as social violence
so this guy has violated some kind of
standard and has to pay for that within
the community in order for the standings
to be kept and this crosses a lot of
cultural boundaries but if particularly
young men and this is again the world
over we see this kind of social violence
and this is why that generally speaking
you need to know the social values of
the community that's you're in and work
through these kinds of things so that
you aren't subject to social violence
now you see that kind of social violence
you got to think about am I willing step
into it so these guys go after this guy
start kicking and punching in those
kinds of things and our Good Samaritan
decides to step in now I get it and you
know he wants to be a force of good in
his world but I just recommend all the
time be very cautious stepping into
third party encounters of course we know
how this one's gonna come out this is
the kind of consequences that can happen
but this is why I say even when it's not
quite that high you don't know how it
started you don't know who's at fault
here so you're better bet almost every
time is to be a good witness get on the
phone call 9-1-1 get the heck out of the
danger zone you and your loved ones and
don't get involved is generally the
better and safer bet for you and your
loved ones now he decides to step in
here and they're gonna try to kind of
pause of punches at him and I'm gonna
assume here for a minute that he hasn't
seen the gun yet that the 16 year old
hasn't pulled a gun Hey with that
assumption in mind this is the perfect
situation for pepper spray this is why I
carry an OC spray you got a couple guys
brewing physical conflict this is
absolutely the time to bless the
deserving with the jerk sauce to get
that out get a good spray across the
eyes of both of them and diminish them
even if you end up in a fight with them
they are significantly diminished and
you have the ability to respond instead
get you know again you probably can get
the heck out of the danger zone now at
this point I'm going to assume that he
has seen the gun looks like the 16 year
old has pulled the gun at this point and
shown it as a dominance show this is a
perfectly acceptable time to put your
hands in the air and surrender hey man I
don't want any problems whatever man you
win it's your world I'm just living in
it bro don't don't hurt me or whatever
alternatively again what you can do is
is if you're going to take that gun away
from him now is the time to get in there
and start practicing the 5ds plus one to
get in to control the distance and go
from there now and the reason that I say
that as you see here this is how close
they are when the shot actually breaks
now the problem of course is our victim
has his hands down and he has not have a
doesn't have his hands in a place that
he can defend himself from that and and
to deflected that muzzle away from him
and he gets shot on this one so we use
that hands up you know poems out
surrender posture as a great way to be
able to defend arm ourselves and this is
why here in any kind of conflict get
that up there and that he's then he
would have the distance in order
start the disarm work but because he
hasn't had that he gets shot instead of
course and and that's just evil I mean
this is just a dominance play and now
these guys are gonna run off because
they have you know shown their dominance
and of course that's just evil on a high
level now the other thing I want to say
is look this guy has stepped in to a
third party encounter to defend this guy
who then runs off he doesn't have any
connection to you he's gonna run off and
I actually think that's a smart move on
his part because they're after him and
now there's a gun involved and he's
going to get the heck out of the danger
zone but again it's the limitations I
was getting involved in a third party
encounter which is just terrible now of
course that coup de Gras when he goes in
and shoots him right there it's just
unrequited evil that's just evil on the
highest level because now he's gonna
make him pay and that was a shot that
and ultimately killed him so of course
we have to talk about spiritual fitness
you want to make sure every day that
you've said everything you need to say
to your family that they know that you
love them that you've solved any
conflicts that you can and that your
relationship with Jesus is strong
because you may not get the opportunity
to pursue either one of those you have
to have them ready right now because you
may not get another chance let's think
about stepping into third party
encounters here have our empty handed
skills strong keep our non-lethal tools
or a less lethal tools like our OC spray
on us make sure our spiritual Fitness is
strong as we seek to cover our ass
