Video is short but good. The potential victim obviously has some training. He disarmed the crook so fast the crook did not know what happened.

[BBell]

There is sound with the video.

[andyk]

There’s a man who understands action / reaction.

Picked the wrong person to rob.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The shotgun must not have been loaded because the perp is still alive.

Here it is on youtube:

Is “dark complection” the new PC term for Black?

[SampleMan]

The thug came back to negotiate for the shotgun.

Hah! If there was any ammo in the shotgun, I would have been hard pressed to not use it.

Everytime you see or hear a story like this - ask: “Was the perp a member of the NRA?”

[AnAmericanMother]

Pretty slick jo dori, controlling the muzzle and using leverage against the goblin. Guy probably has aikido training.

You wouldn't know that from reading the article alone, without watching the video. The perp's race is notably absent from the description.

[BBell]

Picked the wrong person to rob.

Picked a crazy white boy.

[Texas Fossil]

Race?

It should not be important. In most things it is not that relevant.

But when it comes to crime like this, it unfortunately is.

PC says ignore it, but Reality shows it cannot be.

[BBell]

A number of commenters at the youtube site think it is either faked or staged. I guess they can’t comprehend a white man protecting himself and then going on the offense.

[JoeProBono]

[andyk]

LOL, well one of the commenters said it had to be fake because the white guy couldn’t possibly run with such huge balls.

[G Larry]

The defensive key here, will be missed by most viewers.

The victim’s hand position.

They were already up, near his face, allowing for rapid defensive/offensive move.

NOT down near his waist.

Chalk up another one for the good guys! Does the guy who took the gun get to keep it?

[Democrat_media]

I pass close to that street & location sometimes. I need to keep gun in hand when driving around there
