Pistol snatched from guy inline at gas station.

That is not the same incident. The shell station in your article doesn't match the address clearly shown in the video. Address shown in video you posted is 524 Flint River Rd. the address in the original video for this thread is clearly shown as 1790.

Good catch. Definitely not the same victim.

I didn't notice the first time but you can actually see the victim walking around limping after the 40ish shots were fired, so he looks ok. Maybe the story about his friends with an AR showing up is true.

I think that's why we can't find the news story, no one was killed.

No, it doesn't, but if he was a gray man NPC even while making the stupid decision to be there he'd probably still be alive and still have a gun.

"Stupid things
Stupid places
Stupid people "

If you can avoid at least one of these at all times your odds of survival go way up. Even better if you can avoid two or all three.

He's still alive, you can see him at the end of the video walking around. I just caught that.

As usual the sources are confusing. Regardless he likely came very close to not being alive because of his stupidity.

I think the Roof Koreans busted that stereotype a while ago.

Koreans, Viets, Flips all love their guns. I've never met one who wasn't tooled up to the teeth. None of them will flaunt it like a dumbass tho with Glock and gadsten and NRA stickers tho.

I'll be the rare guy to call it, but Colion Noir really isn't anything special. He speaks very plainly and really isn't all that intelligent. I don't understand his cult following.

He's an uncle tom and token black guy for the nra

Chinese too. One of the guys I shot pins with for years, aka "China John" as his affectionate nickname, alwasy was balling with lots of guns. If you saw a good deal on something cool you better buy it, otherwise china John is going to come by that same shop, and you will see him at the next pin shoot with the gun you didnt buy.

I think you are reading far too into the guy, and Colion would be relevant even without his NRA involvement at whatever time. The thing is there are archetypes in the community, so to speak, and even though his videos have great production value, they don't really appeal to a lot of us because of the "station" we're at. I know @Ultrarunner has prior industry experience like I do, so thats likely a large part of it. It's like the other thing on here where these people basically get into a lather when you tell them you don't go to Four Seasons anymore. Well, eventually you graduate and you just get away from that stuff, nothing wrong with it, it just serves a different part of the community/demographic. A lot of us are used to having good friends we could reach out to for advice etc. Some of these creators are sort of optimized for that "interested in guns, but have no outlet to reach to" crowd. Colion and a bunch of others fill that gap.

I'm also going to take a moment and say that some of our bias here is because, for those not with their head in the sand... NES is mass spoilage for those who are willing to partake. I can go to an NES dinner and talk to a bullet caster, a 600 yard shooter, and there's a good possibility that I can talk to someone who has shot someone in the face in combat (or at the very least, has trained a lot for it) all at the same dinner table, so to speak. The breadthe of experience among the core member base here is off the charts, and its more than just guns. Guys like @DJBrad @Broc Tuah and @richc know what I'm talking about. So when you get spoiled like this.... a lot of other... content.... is a big let down.
