...........J/K




If you need a little Monday morning pick me up, 29 year old Tadarius Hunt, who was on the run from police after shooting a 44 year old rescue mission worker FA & FO last Sunday afternoon when he opened fire on responding officers. Link will feature bodycam footage of the shooting. Shoutout to the officer for staying calm under fire and dropping this dude.

The 44-year-old victim, who was shot multiple times in the chest and legs, was walking toward the front doors when Hunt was seen running at him before opening fire. The victim had barred Hunt from the property on Sunday morning.

For those wondering, Mr. Hunt succumbed to his wounds at a nearby hospital.

Officer waited too long.
Should have shot him as soon as his hands moved.

I'm sure some of those guys are a bit nervous to drop a guy and become the next tar and feather project for the BLM morons but I agree. Officer got hit in the leg but it easily could've been much worse.

He was actually on his way to his first college courses after deciding to turn his life around when police stopped him.

Always reminded of the officer that got the call while in his cruiser and sipping some coffee. He arrived at scene going down from a distance where it looked like perp was focused on another party. Officer exits car, sets coffee down. Removes AR from rear of vehicle/SUV. Braces AR on side of SUV at the rear under the opened rear hatch. Calmly takes aim and fires one shot dropping the perp and puts AR back in vehicle. Body cam catches it all. (That sequence of events is from memory so might not be totally accurate but the moment has been captured).

It would appear Tadarius’ favored past-time of running and gunning has come to its conclusion.

Look, I get it. Death sucks and is a terrible thing. Any possible potential this guy had to do anything of value with his life is now over and there's no reset button. At some point though, we all have consequences for our actions and when we do stupid, uncivilized things like shooting at rescue workers and subsequently the cops that are coming to arrest you for it, you kinda made your bed.

Problem with being in the middle.of nowhere is back up takes forever.

Did the driver if the log hauler get shot, or just do his duty and take out the shooter's vehicle?

I'd like to know more

It looks like the Age of Tadarius has come to a grinding halt.
