My takeaway: don't threaten unstable inbreds wielding guns.

I think you're wrong.

If no shooting had occurred, the father and son would have been in trouble just for brandishing a firearm.

But because the guy in orange escalated things, I think they can use self defense as a justification for shooting.

Dead guy got what he was asking for. Stand your ground laws are a bitch to folks armed with baseball bats. Orange shirt shouldve seen what he was up against and backed down.

Really wish those guys had been wearing shirts. That may have been more disturbing than the actual shooting.

Yeah. Lots of stupid in that video in both sides.

Wish we could see exactly what the guy was doing when the first shots were fired. Looks a whole lot like he was the aggressor and got himself killed for it.

Downvote me if you must, but none of the people involved in that video should be able to own a gun.

Feel free to debate who was legally in the right / wrong.


Well, the DA thinks the father and son are in the wrong at least enough to charge both with 1st Degree Murder.

That video was oddly disturbing. What a bunch of idiots.

Anyone think of maybe getting the cops involved before getting ready to kill one another?

I have to agree- everyone involved is...stupid. You can easily see the decedent being a habitual hothead, based on his demeanor. Things were destined to spiral out of control.


I would never get myself involved in something so friggin' stupid.

I can’t believe the wife never said “let’s go” or otherwise told her husband to back off. Also can’t believe neither of the guys with the guns tried to talk the other into leaving. Everyone there was completely focused on going all the way.

I think the son probably could have avoided shooting. Looks like his back was turned and he was retreating.

Don’t think the dad deserves to be charged. He gave him plenty warning.

Whoa, holy cow. I'll almost bet she started rolling due to the other guys kicking it all up a notch with the guns. We see the end but I have a feeling Orange shirt and Mama Bear felt threatened long before he grabbed a bat.

All in all, whoa, that's some shocking video.

Hope they lock them up for good or put them in the ground. They have no place in a civilized society.

Their macho bullshite caused some kids to grow up without their dad. Definitely not the best dad in the world for sure, but no child should have to bury their own parent.

For sure the son should go to jail for murder.

Their dad’s macho bullshite is the reason they will grow up without a dad.
