(FWIW):
My analysis of gas station surveillance video:
(camera times)
11:13:47 - LEO arrives and a three men (one with a cart) turn to approach the LEO. The fourth, separate from the group, begins toward the LEO.
11:13:53 - Victim breaks off and goes to the left, near the building.
11:14:17 - Victim appears from left side and approaches the group.
11:14:25 - one man from group moves between victim and LEO. The man’s posture is interceding. His arms are extended between the victim and the LEO.
11:14:47 - Man moves to victim. (woman emerges from parked car.)
11:14:49 - Victim turns away, man MAY have pushed him away with his hand/arm. Man stays between victim and LEO.
11:14:51 - Victim moves further away from the group, turns away and draws with right hand. (woman on concrete walkway now.)
11:14:55 - Victim turns toward group, raises, and aims at the group. (the woman is in perfect position to see the event.)
He’s not a victim.
Thanks, but your use of the word “victim” is anapt IMHO...
Why use the word “victim?”
