This is me looking back on the situation.
The kid's like screaming.
I'm like, shut the fuck up.
I was like, hey, calm down, dude.
Calm down.
I'm here to help you again.
I'm not here to hurt you.
And at that point, I saw two things.
I saw his eyes extremely bloodshot.
I think he was high up on something.
And I remember seeing, of course, the muzzle on my face.
And I remember seeing the safety on.
And... I remember going, you lose, in my mind.
I had my 1911 on under concealment.
And in a Safariland 071 paddle holster on my side.
I remember...
realizing in a nutshell, again, looking back a little bit, but processing the micro thoughts that I had was he's going to try to kill me.
Gun's not going to work.
He's going to relinquish control with his hand to take the safety off like an untrained person does on an AK.
By the time he gets his hand back on the gun, that's going to be about two seconds.
