OMG. I just saw the video of the Texas incident on CNN. Yep, old boy is full of crap. He grabs a gun and his camera and walks over to a bunch of drunken rowdies, confronts them, shows them his weapon........(Again, at any point he could have just turned around and gone home.) Yes, that wouldn't stop the noise problem that led to the confrontation. But, walking away would surely have de-escalated it.
HE was in control of the situation. One guy seems to suggest he's going to get a weapon........... And why not? Didn't the man show up at the party waiving a gun? So, at that point, you go home. I mean WTF? He just stands there, saying, "Oh, my God, I'm afraid for my life. They're going to kill me.", when it is readily apparent that no one is restraining or detaining him? WAITING FOR THE OTHER GUY TO RETURN WITH HIS GUN.
This is absurd, it truly is.
