Yes indeed, I've seen it to many times and unfortunately continue to see it: Good people who mean well and are well intentioned but are the ones who say and do things that escalate a situation! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

Thanks for sharing and commenting! I don't know if they are still up, but there were some videos of "experts" who clearly had no actual experience with them on handguns and were just poo-pooing the idea of peep sights on handguns!

@@GentleResponseLLC I instruct at a 500 member club with some pretty elite shooters an have converted many of them after they tried them. They are not for everybody that is why there are so many flavors of sighting systems. But they work for me and many others!

Yup, doesn't change the fact that inserting yourself as a third party to de-escalate a situation is a mine field, and when you are supposed to be "de-escalating" but end up yelling and screaming you are not "de-escalating" any more but part of all the drama and chaos. You risk getting pushed when inserting yourself into someone elses issue, they are more likely to get upset and focus on you as what happened in this case, and if you decide to push back you get what happened. Very tragic. Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

@GentleResponseLLC you can thank me but your gonna be thanking me twice or more and here's why young man .if every by stander in every portion of this world stood silently with their heads in a hole against social injustices that law enforcement dosent give a second wind about what would happen to thugs bullies tormentors and social trouble makers in the faces of heroes and brave men and women evil never wins against good .because no matter how tough and mean you are there's always gonna be people like limmer standing up for the abused and humiliated and weak in our system and thank God for this .Yes he sacrificed his life everything to lose with this evil man with nothing to lose .I face characters like this everyday and they are in fear of me because of my stance yes I have much to lose and you have nothing to lose but I have an ace in the whole regarding this I can still take the one thing you do have to lose .That's right your life.landry because I'm older then both him and limmer would have never ever got back to his car through experience I would have destroyed that option.

It can be challenging and easy to find yourself debating and arguing, but that will only escalate things! Just walk away!

Thanks for the support!

LOL thanks 😂👍

Yep, and I'm hoping my post just helps remind someone to just take a deep breath and let it Go, just don't worry about it, and in my own life experience it has never gone as bad as the Doom Sayers always predict it will !

@ absolutely! It is consuming us far too much! What will be, will be we can only do our part. I love that you said be kind. This is huge!

Thank you for taking a moment to comment! A whistle may cause a person who is not committed to the assault to flee, but when the attack has begun, and is a murderous intent like a stabbing, a whistle is not likely to be very effective. There are many, many examples of survivors of horrific attacks talking about how they fought back and screamed with no effect. And there are many confessions where killers mentioned their victims fought and screamed with no effect.

@ There was a slight disclaimer in my opinion.

Yeah it's an easy trap to fall into! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

Yup, and then it's time to do what you have to do and take it to the next step! I see too many officers getting caught in a verbal loop and repeating themselves when it's time to stop talking take it to the next step! Repeating yourself over and over again only makes you more and more frustrated and increases are likelihood you're going to end up doing or saying something that may escalate the situation in a way that costs you your job!

That's awesome, thanks for sharing!

You are welcome! 😄

Too many situations inadvertently escalated by good people, meaning well but don't know what they don't know! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

The staff did a great job handling that scenario! Just some minor tweaking on personal safety tactics like maintaining a reactionary gap.

You're welcome! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

You're welcome, and thanks for the support!

Mindset is everything, and will determine how you react and respond to everything in life!

Thanks buddy, I appreciate the support! I'd be happy to chat with you on one of your shows!

You're welcome, and thanks for the support and taking a moment to comment!

Have to stay flexible and adapt to what is actually happening, and not what you "think" or are afraid is happening!

I’m a cyclist, and I see other cyclist do shit that drives me crazy, Also remember 3 feet is not a mile. I’m 6 foot. so if I’m a passenger in a car, just about the point I can slap you on the ass is three feet for a little perspective. That dude was wrong and he’s lucky he picked on a scared kid. If that was me it wouldn’t have ended that way and remember I’m a cyclist also

There's a LOT more to the story than what this shows. Like it or not, what he did was illegal and COULD have gotten himself seriously hurt, or killed. He didn't know what the driver was capable of or if they were armed.

The video showed the driver passed the cyclist with ample room, and I'm very well aware of the dangers that cyclists have as I have friends and family you are avid cyclist. Thank you for all the unpacking but the point of the video and teaching point is not to let your own emotions cause you to do or say something that will risk your life confronting a stranger. Thanks for taking a moment to comment and unpack! 😁👍

Then go to a bike path and stay off roads that were built for cars.

@@benshelton4528 1- Which non hwy roads were built for cars? 2-The bike paths crowded with dog walkers, joggers, strollers and pedestrians. Those bike paths? 3- Check the rules of the road...its mandatory to ride on the road.

I'm a motorcyclist and I can't begin to tell you how many times my life has flashed before my eyes due to a careless driver. The thing is, it's NEVER wise to chase down that driver to "give them a piece of my mind". Too many people these days carry firearms and are more than happy to use them. None of the "unpacking" you mentioned is worth a damn when you're dead because you approached the wrong person, on the wrong day, for the "wrong" reasons. Especially if you approach them the way the cyclist did and then prevent them from leaving, they have the ability to claim self-defense and you just died for absolutely nothing and now your family won't be able to get the justice they deserve. But go ahead and keep unpacking.

You don't ride, do you?

He really put himself in a dangerous situation!

@@stevemahoney1733 Been riding for maybe 60 years and I don't see were the car even came close to hit the guy.

@@megsmith596 Neither did i nor did I say otherwise. What's your point?

Thanks for the support,!

In this case the driver did not pass too close to the bicyclist, and the bicyclist put himself in danger by confronting a stranger who could have become very violent!

@@GentleResponseLLC people need to understand one thing, ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. All this b.s. road rage has to stop.

Isn't passing too close a crime? In Canada there is a one meter rule, basically 3 feet.

Yes passing too close is a crime and fortunately the kid had his video running and shows that he even moved left to give the bicyclist room and I even comment on that point in my video.

It's definitely a scary world out there, and it can become scarier if you go and confront an unknown person!

Another channel stated he quickly paid his fine, possibly making it so further charges couldn’t be made.

Yeah, too many crazy people out there these days!!

😆👍

Yeah that young man showed an extremely fine tuned sense of self-control rarely seen in young people these days! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

Yes indeed!

Not always an easy thing to do, but it is THE thing to do!!

Thanks 👍 And thanks for taking a moment to comment!

That would be great! I know you will get a lot out of it!
