A .38 with 5 rounds....She must have been blonde.

Guy still has some balls even though a .38 is the weakest gun imaginable with very little penetrating or stopping power.

Just like your penis.

While the sensationalism in the article is annoying, I dont see how anyone can take anything away from what that kid did. It was certainly a heroic act. You can theorycraft all you want, but its hard to be rational in a life threatening situation. Even if he though everything through and came to the conclusion that the girl was not a big threat, he had the balls to take action. Im pretty sure not that many people can confidently say they would have done the same thing (especailly not charliemurphy).

yea like you know me. In that kid's shoes, if I knew the girl, and saw the bullshit going on, I might have just walked away and encouraged/ushered the rest to do the same ignoring the girl.

Man the trolling is ridiculous.

The kid is a hero. He had a gun waved in his face and still had the courage and composure to think about everyone else's safety.

I don't care if it was a little girl or a grown man holding a pistol or a rifle. One shot to the head and you're still dead. Give the guy some credit for crying out loud.

Good job to him for handling the situation so well, although its kind of laughable that the girl was such a bad shooter that she couldn't at least shoot one person.

Classic case of internet tough guy syndrome or not so subtle troll?

Sigh, yup. =( Why so many trolls?

I hated the MSNBC article. >_> So overplayed.
I'm pretty amazed at what the guy did though. :o That takes courage. Like, I'm surprised he did that when he had a gun pointed at him instead of just being blank with shock. =/

I thought to myself that it's probably a black guy. It feels like I've seen a lot of videos with black guys having really good reflexes.

Such a cool guy for what he did

edit: the animated video was total bullshit. Total joke

The hero is always like the most talented football player in school. I wish some story like that ever happens to a SC player.

- So, do you think playing Starcraft helped you react properly in this situation?
- Oh yes, absolutely, I had it all planned. I let her scouting drone live on purpose so I could fake being passive, pretending I was going for a macro build, but actually I had a proxy factory in her main making vultures, then I raped her drones as soon as I see an opening.
- Great story sir, thank you for your time.

And seriously, the 3D reenactment in the video is the most cheesy and hilarious thing I've ever seen on a news report.

I analyze all situations in my life like i would a starcraft game, as I'm sure everyone else who plays sc does too, so i thought this was funny.

But its more like he killed her scouting probe then when she was playing blind (when she looked away) he massed up 3 hatch speedlings and went all in.

Wow the fact that he is a quarterback and male, made this so much easier. She's a 14 year old girl with a gun and he becomes very authorative in comparison, so this is not that big of a thing imo. I would see this QB guy go up to a full grown man and do the same thing

In the story it says she had been picked on or had a hard time or something, i can't help but feel the entire situation could have been averted if people were a little more receptive to these sorts of things and showed a little compassion to one another.

Of course they wouldn't be commending the older gentleman who gave her the .38 snubnose she was really after, knowing that the only shot that needs firing to avoid things ever coming to this point is his trashy orgasm. The thanks he'd get would come in the way of a statutory charge and his name permanently engraved on a sex offender's list.

There are no heroes in a world where a 14 year old girl has to brandish a firearm to get a little attention.

Just gonna quote this for emphasis for everyone who is going on about the model of the gun and its lethality.

This was in Mississippi. I'm sure many 14 year olds in Mississippi understand gun dynamics. This wasn't in Massa. or Maine. People in the South grow up with guns, hence they are experienced with them. Many Southern States have open carry, and very loose CCW eligibility.

It also doesn't take a genious to see that the gun is the size of her hand. What kind of conclusion would you make from that? Im sure you can guess the lethality if on one hand she had the .380ACP and the other a 1911 Colt.

I would conclude that SHE HAS A GUN, and that gun is capable of killing someone. Are you seriously going to defend this line of reasoning? Do you honestly think that this 14 year old kid is going to calmly reason about the size of a gun in that situation? Like, he is just going to calmly sit there and rationalize about the firearm a crazy kid is waving around?
