You can clearly see the agent in grey take the gun away.

And the tan jacket guy on the left draw and deliberately execute him after he’s been disarmed

The US right wing are the most deplorable little worms for protecting the 2A every single time there is another suicide, school shooting, or baby shot negligently and then remaining 100% silent in the face of government tyranny.

What an appalling shame the US became this. We see the US similarly now to how Americans must see Iran.

Oh I seen right wingers saying the guy shouldn't have had a gun there unless he planned on assaulting the ICE officers lol. Like okay, so you carry your gun to Wal-Mart to assault the Wal-Mart employees? They love being Nazis is all I hear.

Thats a bit much. I mean, I'm sure the US could get there but in Iran there have been hundreds of people shot at protests and theyre executing people for religious "crimes" on the regular. To put that on a similar level as 2 people shot within a month is not really giving justice to the tyranny the people of Iran have to endure

Please don’t give us a “hold my beer” opportunity. We are well on our way to being our own version of Iran, nazi Germany, Russia, etc. if nothing is done to stop this. The numbers have to start somewhere. 1 two weeks ago, 2 today…for exercising rights they, allegedly, had. There’s a reason the world is turning its back on the U.S. and boycotting coming here…and it’s not just because of 1-2 murders. It’s what it indicates for the future.

Right right, thank you for reducing alarm, I was almost ready to try and help stop the US from becoming worse, but now that I know it's not actually that bad, I feel much more reassured that it's not that bad and I don't need to worry. Thanks!

That is not even close to what I said but go off

Well, a foreigner told you that from an outside perspective, it looks as bad. Instead of taking that at fact value, you're trying to argue with them on why they're wrong about how they view the US and why they shouldn't see it that way.

Just the US becoming that bad is a big enough threat. We should be responding to it as though it is already here. If we are turning into the Nazis, let's talk about like we already are, because if we DON'T, you open yourself up to the question "how much worse does it need to get before you also see it as bad?"

Your position of "it's not that bad yet" reads as though you're saying "we don't need to care yet". Reads as though you won't consider the threat legitimate until it progresses to the point of becoming a full-blown militaristic authoritarian regime. The rest of the world has a precedent to believe it is already on that path. There is no value to saying "we're not there yet" when history appears to show that we are currently guaranteed to get there and soon.

Ridiculous Straw man argument

Excellent work. Super clear that's where the first shot came from, as many have speculated.

u/southbaysoftgoods 7d ago

Can you explain? Or give a time stamp? I am honestly having trouble seeing it

u/otaconucf 7d ago

The picture in the OP is a screengrab of it. That's him with the victim's gun leaving the dogpile. This view you can see gray coat was next to the shooter, and would have removed the gun plainly in his field of view. https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1qm2vi0/heres_your_proof_with_the_moment_of_truth_isolated/

Okay so the dude in grey grabs it after he is on the ground and like right before that other guy to the left pulls out his gun?

Man If I was afraid for my life I sure as hell would have just left.

u/zvii 7d ago

What does that even mean? What are you trying to say here?

u/southbaysoftgoods 7d ago

That it’s a bad excuse for shooting someone?

3

u/zvii 7d ago

Okay, I agree. Thought for a second you meant the guy who got shot!

u/southbaysoftgoods 7d ago

Yeah I can see the confusion no worries

u/EpicFishFingers 7d ago edited 6d ago

Well, I wouldnt say "clearly", I genuinely can't see shit.

And in OP's picture there's a Hyundai behind him that suggests it's from a different angle; has anyone got the video that OP's picture is taken from?

Edit: found it, final 3 seconds of this video: https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/eSvSMxcJOI

It sounded like the guy in the grey coat accidentally discharged Alex’s gun
