Unlike the idiot who actually came INTO the mall at 35 seconds knowing what was going on and skirting the wall to go right past it. What was he thinking?!Ameer wrote:The guy in the lobby wearing the white hat did good.

Two points that stand out to me: If he had not pulled out his own gun, he might have survived. After their gun jammed, they used his to kill him. He either needed to get much faster and better shot placement in once it was drawn from lying down or he might have fought them off long enough to get their gun (he was doing a good job) or to make them flee, but puling it out and quickly being disarmed is what cost him his life. (Speaking in the short term context of this gun fight. Long-term it was his gang involvement, but I don't really need to learn not to be in a gang so that's rather moot.)
And, he was shot numerous times including a direct shot in the head and he still fought hard enough that they couldn't get his hands off their gun for quite some time. Even as they laid rounds into him as they fled, his leg still slid with what appeared to be his last intentional movements. That's a lot of fight left in a man after he is fatally shot!
