stupid stupid things happen thank you

our actors in this event are these two
guys right here who right now are
dancing with their ladies at the plata
club at about one o'clock in the morning
and you're gonna see the action
beginning to see the guy on the right is
actually here going to step on the toes
of the dude on the left and he's not
having that he's very upset that the guy
stepped on his toes while they were
dancing and you can see here that both
their ladies are now trying to get them
apart nah man let's just you know ignore
this let him go whatever it's fine but
these two guys just are not having it so
they're gonna continue to Yip at each
other across from their ladies notice is
probably pretty loud so they're you know
not causing a ruckus too much outside
each other people are still dancing and
whatnot but these guys are not chilling
out both of them very upset and now it's
a social problem now they're having a
battle of wills and an ego now watch the
guy in the Hat here he's moved left and
as he squawks dude comes up and looks
like he's gonna throw a punch and when
he does other guy pulls a gun and shoots
him one time and he's gonna wander off
the cops are still looking for him and
his victim did get to the hospital and
did make it see it one more time he
draws his gun chambers around shoots
pretty wildly at him and does hit him
then he's gonna wander off and everybody
else scatters that's where it ends boy
you just saw it brewing and get worse
and worse if you want to get better at
understanding legal and moral
self-defense one of the ways you could
do that's joining us on the act of
self-protection
extra Channel we just cracked a hundred
thousand subscribers over there and
every Friday we post a new video
discussing the legal aspects of
self-defense so join us there would ya
all right lessons time our first lesson
here undoubtedly is about the rules of
stupid so we talk about the rules of
stupid all the time farnum's law as
amended
that is you don't go stupid places with
stupid people at stupid times and do
stupid things you can normally break one
of the rules of stupid and get away with
it but you start breaking two or more
and bad things start happening in this
particular instance you're out at a
stupid time nothing good happens between
midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless you're at
work and you got to be there number two
you are in a stupid place any kind of a
club like this where there's alcohol and
sex involved is definitely gonna have
that so get out of there next we had a
you know a little faux pas here this
guy's are just dancing beside each other
whatever and the one dude stepped on the
other dudes foot and now you could see
them turn and cause the offense guys
little social troubles like this are
gonna abound in the world you're gonna
offend at times the thing you got to
learn to do here is de-escalate escape
and evade you got to learn here say oh
hey man my bad you're totally right
didn't mean to step on your toes let me
buy you a beer bro but because there's
some ego involved here these guys are
gonna have to kind of have it out and
that's what they see hey man why don't
you know what's your problem whatever
and now they've got an ego contest now
you gotta recognize everybody that
you're never gonna see these people
again these are just some random
stranger that you have offended so it's
far better and far safer for you to just
let them go now notice here that their
ladies know that this could be problems
I don't want to get him into a fight and
so they're sticking themselves in the
middle here and even his brother the guy
in the Hat here his bros coming up on
hey man it's cool whatever get off of it
whatever they're trying to get them to
calm it down but you have to choose to
de-escalate so that means you are the
one who's responsible to be the bigger
person and not let your ego get in the
way now as they keep coming over here's
where it got physical you notice that
the the bald guy the guy without the hat
on
came over pushed him and and made a faux
punch at him I think he didn't throw the
punch because he knew it was going to be
out of range but now it's escalated to a
physical conflict this in my opinion of
course is not a time to pull a gun and
shoot somebody because it's not a deadly
threat but certainly a time here when
there's gonna get some yep and as long
as he wasn't the initial provoker
instigator here to pepper spray the heck
out of somebody this is a great time on
a brewing physical conflict - OC spray
somebody give him the jerk sauce jerk
sauce the snot out of him quite
literally as Claude Werner says and get
out of there now notice that and he
starts showing that gun he starts going
for it now he started drawing that gun
about 3/4 of a second ago but the other
guy this is as soon as he could have
seen it and this is
reason that you don't escalate conflicts
because you don't know who's willing to
defend their ego with deadly force
now even if he wanted to at this point
if he if he sees this guy's got a gun
and I got to burn him down because he's
about to shoot me over this now he's got
legal problems because he escalated the
physical conflict and he's gonna have
some other challenges here I so there's
not enough time so notice here though
that our homies gonna get his gun out
and he has to chamber around we see bad
guys carry unchain bird guns an awful
lot and because of that it takes him a
long time to get the gun out on target
and fire a shot even a blind shot that
does tell us something as self defenders
one of the reasons I say don't carry a
gun with a round not chambered is
because he takes him a lot of time to do
that it takes him 2.7 5 seconds in fact
to do that which is a self defender is
an unbelievably long time of course this
guy's not a self defender notice here
again he just sticks the gun out in
front of him and point shoots from here
and look at all the people around this
is stupid you guys he certainly couldn't
claim self-defense in this instance
because it's not a deadly threat this is
ego defense a hundred percent so this
guy's committing aggravated assault
potentially even attempted murder
whatever but notice all the people
around he's also endangering all of
these people and now even the defender
who was the one who was defending his
own ego and wanting to get that guy to
back down is endangering all those
people which is why I say get the heck
out of the danger zone instead and don't
do that now then he's gonna wander off
and look at his face so again this
wasn't self-defense because he's bowing
up right here and showing yeah I'm the
one who won this conflict this was pure
ego everyone and I want you to recognize
that if you are carrying a firearm for
personal protection that you have to
kill the ego gun on ego off this was not
self-defense in any way and yes this is
California and yes bad guys carry guns
all the time there all the time now
notice as well that our victim here now
has a gun shot in him and he has pretty
instantly gone over but he's not
completely gone he's just been punished
now finally that guy's just gonna wander
off into the crowd and still leave our
victim with a gunshot wound in him a
great reminder here that you want to
keep your individual first aid kit
stocked and you want to keep your skill
set in first aid high because this guy
needs help and needs it right now might
need a chest seal we don't know exactly
what's going on now you got to get in
there and use your skills and use the
kit
that you have in order to help him get
to the hospital you can get him to the
hospital with blood volume and with a
pulse you probably make it in this case
he did so let's learn the lessons here
about the rules of stupid about avoiding
social violence the absolute art of
saying my bad and making it right let's
learn about physical conflicts and when
things go why we talk about having a
fast and accurate draw at a first shot
having your first aid skills on you to
cover your ass
