It is not being hero. This is about survival. Who fucking knows if he has another gun. You gunna let him pull it and fire at you before you react? That situation is his life or my life.

> the kid is only 26 years old and i dont think he is the type to fire a gun at somebody if its not absolutely nessessary.
That I do share the stance, that's why I used the word for survival.

I find it crazy how Tsay took over the gun but just tell the gunman to go away. I would've fired the whole magazine back on the guy if the guy moves a single muscle.
Let's be real, it is the US. Most gun owners have more than 1 gun. All mass shooters have more than 1 gun.
I ain't taking my chance like the guy did. This ain't some kiddie superhero movie "heroes don't kill" shit, this is survival.

It is a crazy experience.
I had a major surgery back in July 2021. It was a 5 hours surgery to install MANY screws and 2 rods at my neck, so it requires drilling. My spine won't stop bleeding everytime they drill in (apparently that's uncommon), so they have to keep stopping and let the cell saver machine to clean my blood and put it back into me. 5 hours surgery turned into 10 hours.
Because of that, they have to keep putting anesthesia into me and it is not good to have that much anesthesia in me. I couldn't wake up afterward.
They tried to wake me up every hour after the surgery. I can hear them and I can feel the nurse smacking my face. I tried to open my eyes and I just couldn't. 5 or 6 hours later, I finally woke up because of a phone call.
Afterward, I was told I lost 3L of blood during the surgery. They were about to tell my parents to prepare I might not wake up.
Now everytime I think of it, I still can't believe it. Especially I was asking 1 of my surgeons about the possibility of that right before they roll me to the OR. I could've just slept and never wake up right there.

Maybe, but sometimes it is fucking hard to tell especially in tense situation like that. I ain't risking that bet if Tran pulls anything funny. Not a game there.
Especially letting that guy go. Like who knows wtf is he going to pick up and come back. That ain't something I would let him do.
