Unfortunately they never once looked at him until after he stated shooting. Which meant they went from little chance to almost no chance of getting away.
I dont understand why they didn't seem to notice this bastard. No words seem right to describe how this has upset me today.
They were focused on doing their jobs. I'm sure when you are on camera like that it becomes very easy to be in the "zone" and to block out what is happening a number of feet behind that camera.
True. I get that with a crowd of people or just a few other people milling about, because I imagine reporters are trained to tune that out, be in that zone like you said. We've probably all seen countless news clips of bystanders acting stupid behind the camera or simply trying to get themselves seen on TV. But these three were the only people on a breezeway at an amusement park at 6:45 am and nobody else was within sight. Then out of nowhere a guy walks up to them to within looked to be about 10 feet (would have been view able from at least 50 ft), points the glock at them, then lowers it as he waits for the cameraman Adam to train the TV camera on the 2 women (he had been panning around filming some of the background), As soon as the TV camera is back on the 2 women he again raises the glock. The POS wanted this on live TV. Over 40 seconds, majority of time 1 or both of the women are in the frame. They never appeared to even glance at him.
100% this dirtbag POS fault. I just wish they hadn't been so oblivious to him and noticed him when he 1st walked up. They would have had a little better chance...
You are absolutely correct about questioning this event after watching the video, I thought the shooter was part of the actual camera crew when I first watched his video. Hence, I could rationalize why they would ignore this person that was standing in spitting distance of all three individuals. When I heard he was an ex employee this made no sense, all three individuals had to ignore him purposely for the 20-30 seconds he stood breathing down the cameraman's neck.
Second thing which is disturbing, he fired three point blank shots from ten feet away before the girl does a 180 degree turn in high heels then starts running away in full sprint. Does this make sense? Think people....
It's sad that the too many people just buy what they are told by the media or government and don't think for themselves. I didn't want to jump in this conversation, however, I'm horrified by the amount of people in the USA that jump on others when they question anything that other than the story that is fed to them. That video left more questions than answers .....
1st of all, I didn't question the event or the authenticity of the video. Its 100% clear that this sick prick murdered 2 people in cold blood, while gravely wounding a 3rd.
2ndly, the video only clearly shows the position of the gun only during the 1st 3 shots fired, at Alison, who was the furthest away of the 3 victims at the time of those shots, about 3-4 yards.
-This POS was also likely an untrained, not very experienced shooter- he reportedly bought the 9 mm Glock in June.
-2 handed after each shot the muzzle kicks a little (even a 9 mm). And less training = less muzzle control. But this idiot was trying to film with 1 hand while shooting 1 handed.
-In order to film at the same time you could tell he had the weapon at lower chest level. There was no proper sight alignment (proper relationship between front and rear sights).
The video showed those 1st shots as 1 handed, point and shoot, poor muzzle control, jerking the trigger spray and pray. So its perfectly logical if those 1st 3 shots missed, even from that close range, and any subsequent not shown by the video.
3rd, if someone is hit by a smaller caliber round like a 9mm, even multiple times, it doesn't mean they instantly go down. Its not Hollywood. Its possible 1 or more of the 1st 3 shots did hit her. You can't tell.
After the 1st 3 shots the video is a jumbled mess for the next 4 shots and then it is black for the next about 7. We don't know how many of the shots after the 1st 3 were can't miss contact/near contact from a couple of feet.
So please don't associate me with your crack pot conspiracy theory(s) that are floating around the internet.
