Bad Guy, bugger hook control?

Post by goose »

While not for a second diminishing the violence of the attack -- is it odd that for almost the entire video shows the bad guy's finger pointed down the slide of the pistol? Towards the end his finger creeps inside the trigger guard. Just seems weird for a robber to do that. Ex military or something?

He's got a pretty good shooting stance when he's not waving the thing around, too.

Pretty good video quality. Ought to have the two in jail fairly soon. Have seen videos taken from bank robberies that were not anywhere of this quality.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to arrests and charges. Tips can be called in to 713-222-TIPS (8477).
Yay, Crimestoppers - hope they get their man.

I'm involved with that organization (not in Houston, here at home), and while I'll readily agree it's philosophically suspect to pay for baseline morality and citizenship, the bottom line isn't bad. I believe we get tips to police they wouldn't otherwise get.

Like our tagline reads, Crime doesn't pay, Crimestoppers does.

Maybe this jerk watches a lot of TV and emulates what he sees. Could just be posturing, and he assumes what looks like a Weaver stance at one point. Kind of old school to shoot with one's head cocked like that, but still popular on TV.

Left-handed in all likelihood, too. With deference to good people of the "sinister" hand, that narrows down the field.

The heck with his trigger finger... When did he put a shirt on??? :headscratch

I assumed that the first part of the video was earlier in the day when they were casing it. But you did make me laugh out loud. It's magic!!
