re: Thankful for my local PD/Sheriff today *Pics on pg 2

Worse part is this POS will be out commiting more crimes in no time

In today's world, if I saw someone laying on the road, I'd keep going.

Will get you killed if you aren't very good at using it, and knowing when to use it.

As stated earlier, OP might have gotten killed with his own gun. It sounds like he can actually fight so the odds might have been in his favor. When someone has the drop on you, a gun might be more of a liability than an asset.

Just something to think about. I'm a strong proponent of people carrying firearms when they posses the brain cells to do it. Just maintain awareness that having one isn't enough. You've got to be very well versed in when and how to use it for it to work.

This is one of those situations where I’d do a lawsuit that’s just under the threshold of requiring a lawyer. Dude ain’t got shite but with a $3,500 verdict you could lien and judgement whatever he owned.

He said he fought him

Would you say the suspect was a coward?

No. Did he show fear? All evil people are not cowards. We have words to describe various forms of evil, words like “murderer”, “rapist”, “criminal”. If a person decides to commit a violent act, whether for evil or good purposes, it is not cowardice to seek an advantage. The seeking of advantage is not the evil; it is the violence itself.

Edited to add for the critical badasses laughing about and objectively siding with the criminal, the first thing you do is ensure the safety of your loved ones. Mission accomplished.

The second thing you do in a situation like this is fight to kill, or if not equipped proportionally, withdraw from the fight.

Park yourself in a dark part of the hood tonight pretending to look for drugs and give it a go.

That narrows it down to about 10 million.

You mentioned training...what kinda training you regularly do?

Glad you and the wife are safe man

Thanks brother. I saw a few people asking about where it happened and where it all finished so i'll just respond here and hope everyone who asked can see it.

As far as your question goes though, I've trained BJJ for about 5 years now and it really came in handy. He had a jacket on so the use of a collar tie, which essentially was a lapel grip, really limited his ability to hit me. It created some good distance for me to be able to protect my face and jaw area. I also train with a lot of MMA guys so getting hit wasn't an entirely new experience. Don't get me wrong, getting punched in the face still hurts no matter how many times it happens but I was able to take it and still immediately go into a fighting position, which I think really caught him off guard. I basically rolled with the hit but never went down or lost balance. I just remember thinking to myself "this dude really just hit me." My wife told me after that she saw the hit happen and was obviously worried but that when I turned back, my face didn't look afraid nor angry, just laser beam focused. I'm glad he clipped me right under the left eye instead of the jaw though. Could've been way worse. All in all, I felt my training allowed me to have a clear head and something to fall back on. I always approach my jiu jitsu like Jocko talks about. If I can create distance, perfect. You can't hurt me from range but if you get close, I have some skills to make it hard on you to land more shots on me. It also allowed me not to freeze up and create a chance for my wife to escape. I definitely feel that my training allowed me to prevent further injury to myself and others. Would I have loved to get him to the ground for a choke or something of that nature? Absolutely. I just didn't want to chance it, given I already had suspicion he may be armed, by closing the distance when I had created that distance to protect myself in the first place.



As far as where it was, the initial confrontation happened about 50 yards from the E Broussard/Kaliste Saloom roundabout. It was along that small stretch of woodline between the roundabout and the Market Eatz. The end of the chase happened in Duson off of ridge road by Marigny and Colorado. If you're familiar, it's a shithole area. That's where he assaulted the old woman and the dog got him.
