Crazy!

Crazy indeed. He had every right and chance to engage. Perp seemed very casual drawing on a cigarette and producing pistol. Strange.
I wonder what the exchange of words between the two went like?
Looks fake to me.
The vet simply pushes the perps hand/firearm away and he complies? Bull shit!
They put a note there which stated this is confirmed not a fake.

This?
QuoteNote: Some seem to think that this video is fake and aren't reading why the camera is shaky. This a recording OF the surveillance tape footage from the incident which is why it is shaky. The authenticity of the happenings has been verified by numerous sources. -
I could give two shits if the camera is "Shaky" . I say the whole episode was staged.
Post up the "Numerous Sources" .

;D
Thanks for the "News" footage.
I still think it may have been staged.
No Arrests.
The BG gave up to quickly with the hand push.
The Cleck/Vet simply told him to get out and leave, with his gun.
The Vets I know would have done their best to detain the BG until the cops arrived instead of letting him just walk out the door armed to rob a different store, or shot him.
Just My Opinion, looks all to clean and neat for me. YMMV
You sure are a riot Steve....I wonder what it's like running through life with blinders on. Ohhhh the oppressed ....damn the man....Ohhhhhh the horror.
It doesn't take all kinds, we just have all kinds.
Here's one for you Steve of one's that lived since you don't get to see the ones that die everyday. Your rhetoric towards LEOs in general reminded of this dirtbag's tattoo.
