There are a LOT of people that get up each morning and eat a big bowl of 'stupid'.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 9:18 pmI didn’t forget.

I don’t say that because of cellphone, but because he wasn’t thinking tactically......not even wrongly tactically. It seems to me that someone experienced in carrying a gun would probably not have gone back out there in the first place; but if he was dumb enough to go back out there, that he’d have at least brought along a gun of his own.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:32 pmI thought the same thing. Cell phones have turned an entire generation into morons. I would bet everything that if he would have not had a cell phone that videos, he would not have whipped out the home video camera and gone back outside. Just think of how many hits a video of him getting himself shot would have gotten on you tube.Texas_Blaze wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:17 pm Don’t know why the farther went back to record with his cell phone. You got your kids, now get your tail inside, and call the police. That made no sense to me. He almost was murdered.
This dad believed in the power of the cellphone as a shield against a pistol. A gun guy would have known better and brought a gun along. A SMART gun guy would have stayed inside with his kids and used the cellphone to call police. Instead, the NEIGHBORS called the police.
Dad must have lost his mind.
It’s why I’m so annoyed the rest of the time.
We just have to be aware of that.
I have a brother-in-law (regrettably) that has an insatiable appetite for it.
