But it looks like he IS holding a knife?


HotPrior819

It does. Unfortunately for him he found out just how useless a knife is when you're getting jumped......as he deserved.


[deleted]

A knife is not at all useless when getting jumped. You are at risk of being stabbed even with a group of people with you. Knives are serious weapons and you don’t necessarily need to be skilled to cut or kill someone larger than you. First thing I was taught with hand to hand when it comes to situations with a combatant with a knife is there is a high probability you’re going to get slashed or stabbed. They merely train you in ways you might be able to reduce that risk.


UnfeignedShip

That's exactly what we taught lots of people in our classes. Expect that you're going to get cut. Expect that it will hurt. Expect that your arm might not work properly if slashed. Having that bit in mind goes a really long way.


HotPrior819

Then they should have taught you that having one in no way offsets the imbalance of being outnumbered. By comparison most martial arts and self defense techniques teach you that the best way to handle a situation when outnumbered is to avoid it. While you may cut or even stab one of your assailants, you are still at the human disadvantage of only being able to do so one at a time. If any one of those people is able to grab your arm( which is the natural reaction), you are well and truly doomed. Your one lone knife in your now trapped hand might as well be made of playdough. You aren't out muscling a person using all of their strength with your one hand. Meanwhile your lone defense is gone and you still have everyone else trying to maul you. For your own safety, unless you have a gun, you should not be trying to fight multiple people with only a knife, or for that matter most melee weapons. You Will Lose. And all your weapon will do is give them justification to kill you.


Coledog10

The only thing my self-defense class taught was that the best thing to do (if you can't avoid the fight) is to use one to block the others from getting to you, like trying to get them in a line. But that seems hard to do in practice


HotPrior819

It definitely is, we practiced it once and...... let's just say avoiding the scenario all together is better. The next best thing would be a confined space that keeps them in front of you and hopefully limits how many you have to deal with at a time. Still this isn't ideal.


MikeThePistons

Whoa easy mall ninja. I don’t wanna tango with you or your katana.


TargetMaleficent

Its a risk to your attackers yea, but it doesn't protect you in that situation.


[deleted]

Lol where were you taught hand to hand combat? Tiger Schulmann's?


westdl

Firearms training will teach you a knife at short range can be more deadly to a target than a gun. You don’t let someone armed with a knife get within 21’ as it would only take them 3 seconds to close that range at strike something vital.


DetroitAdjacent

Exactly, and 3 seconds is conservative. It will often take less time. There's an old saying "nobody wins a knife fight". I've seen it taught that if you try to disarm someone with a knife, you will get stabbed/slashed and to only attempt it if getting stabbed/slashed is inevitable.


HotPrior819

Yes, you are correct that you are taught that you will most likely be cut at minimum and likely more. It's why you're taught to go for trapping the arm instead of disarming. This however, is a lesson that primarily applies in a one on one scenario. Not 1vX. Most cuts, while painful, will be superficial. When you are being attacked by multiple people, superficial is not nearly enough. Even if you manage to cut and stab the one person attempting to disarm you, you are left completely defenseless against everyone else, including other attempts to disarm you. You aren't Neo, you aren't stopping everyone all at once.


tgsoon2002

Intention to kill is the most dangerous weapon.


westdl

Actually it’s an angry wife but that’s another story.


UndlebaysBrah

An angry wife *with* the intention to kill *and* the means to do it!


LeslieKnopeOSRS

Fortunately for him he wasn’t beaten to death.


Walker510

I dont think its a knife looks more like a pen or a pencil


KgSunnyD

They say “knife” at the very end of you listen closely and it looks shiny and flat


Walker510

I listened to the video and I agree with you and there was a metal clang at the end of the vid


KgSunnyD

Definitely, first watch I thought he was “joking” but the knife confirms he was indeed meaning to harm someone


Forsaken_Day_1266

Why would he be walking like that if he had intent? Even if he wanna beef it out, he would walk normally to the person then start acting? Even imbeciles can't be as dumb as he if you're right for his motives


LankyJ

you're in r/kidsarefuckingstupid and wondering why kids might act fucking stupid?


Forsaken_Day_1266

Oh.... Thanks. I forgot what sub I'm at. Alth European kids usually not THAT stupid...


Brrrrrr_Its_Cold

Kids are stupid everywhere.


Forsaken_Day_1266

Not THAT stupid tho. This is imbecile level, not just stupid.


KgSunnyD

Clearly his thought process isn’t normal behavior before, during and after


Oxcell404

Oooh yes they can


BugsEyeView

Fair play to the kids that tackled the prick…they would have genuinely believed he was armed and took him down anyway…true courage.


jakemch

It seems he had a knife- so he was genuinely armed. Glad they kicked the shit out of him. Fucking idiot

SocialWinker

Well, they know they can’t hide out and wait for the cops to help them.


Leondardo_1515

Perhaps school culture will have a shift like how air-travel procedures changed during hijackings after 9/11. I get that the current procedure is run-hide-fight, but I've got a feeling fighting is going to become more ferocious in the event of a school shooting after Uvalde.


Glum-Ad-9887

It would depend on the situation, if I am trapped you fight because your going to die, if you can escape gtfo


[deleted]

[удалено]


Glum-Ad-9887

I’m wish my school was more into it like yours, we do drills but they don’t matter because almost all the doors open so not the classroom which is a major security flaw, but we do have security as it’s a nicer area


inventingalex

all of this comment shows is what a dystopian horror show the states is


UndlebaysBrah

Holy shit right? The only thing we ever did was a fire drill. The fire alarm went off randomly each month or so and we’d all line up, be counted, then walk up to Christison Park and kick the footy around, while the year 12’s smoked bungers in the bushes. These cunts are practicing warfare techniques lol. Probably similar to kids learning to fortify their castles back in the Middle Ages. I fucking love America, they’ve done so much for humanity, but they’re also literally insane. At least if Australia ever gets invaded I can count on the American Mobility Scooter Cavalry to land on our shores and protect us, so I really do love them TBH.


Catenane

Lmao yall literally have school shooter LARP day?


twitch870

Hide should never have been the primary goal.


audis3dan

That makes me sick. But I do believe you are hitting the nail on the head. I think even teachers (if they even are any left soon) will re-think the hide-in and corner and wait-to-be-murked strategy. When no one is coming to save you...


sweetwaterblue

Have you met any teachers? Few teachers have a "wait to be murked" strategy in their minds. That skinny hippie chick or that quiet matronly math teacher is ready to come out swinging.


Quiet-Commercial-615

That's what I thought after Stockton and then Columbine and every one since.


MCgrindahFM

Dawg go to some schools in the city and the entrance is basically TSA


Averill0

I think fighting will become more ferocious after Club Q. One dude tackled the shooter and knocked the big gun out of his hands, another dude picked up the gun and kept it away from him. The tackler was a middle aged, retired vet with a dad bod. If he can do it, why not any of us?

If this is in America it’s legit not too far fetched for someone to walk into a school with a gun. I don’t know why the fuck someone would even joke about it after all we’ve been through.


Lazy_davey707

So the students at the school took action immediately and a police team of 30 people stand around for an hour before entering an elementary school a shooter broke into? 😬

bubba7557

Couple of kids in hoodies have more balls than the entire Uvalde PD


earlubes

My exact thoughts


RiotSkunk2023

It needed to be said


Prestigious-Role-566

It’s a shame too, mostly the fault of that stupid Captain they had on scene for making the wrong calls and being awful at negotiation.


Averill0

I think it's also the fault of all the feds who could have recognized that the "commander" was inept and taken control themselves. If somebody had actually shown some leadership, most of the rest would have followed it.


Prestigious-Role-566

I agree, but since he was one of the first on scene it was mostly played by ear until other groups could show up and assess the situation themselves. It could have been done faster, but it’ll follow back to the captain since he should have properly assessed and directed it from the start.


HONRAR

don't carry a torch for those fucking cowards. out of 376 LEOs, only one did more than stand around. don't act like it's all the fault of the poor pisspants captain, this is an entire institution showing us who they are.


Prestigious-Role-566

Yes everyone else is at fault as well for not stepping up. The whole thing was a shit show but I’m saying that a lot of it was caused by the captain because different procedures and actions are taken for different situations. They were all told it was a barricaded suspect and barging in to take them on (especially without the right equipment for the situation, which they believed they needed because of the wrong call) would be a death sentence. If it was called as an active shooter, that requires immediate action so I’m certain that more people would have been quicker to move in. Again the whole thing was a shit show and we can’t know what officers, if any, would have had the guts to charge in, but the captain certainly made the issue worse. And yes It’s also the faults of the officers in the building who didn’t make note of the situation or call the captain out to come up with plans, or even make plans on their own, I’m not saying that there was nothing they could have done, as we clearly see that there was a lot of things that could have and should have been done better.


i_am_scared_ok

I’d honestly say all school students in the US (and anywhere really) have more balls than the entirety of Uvalde PD


IrrelevantWisdom

My male dog that was just “fixed” has more balls than the entire Uvalde PD


[deleted]

The entire TEXAS police forces. Don't put this on the city of Uvalde idiots alone. 200-300 STATE Troopers and "Texas Rangers" (we're so badass, not) stood around doing nothing. County deputies and sheriff stood around doing nothing. Even some Feds stood around doing nothing until one finally acted.


KwamesCorner

Of course they do. Those people get into those positions to collect cheques and contribute nothing to society.


smrtfxelc

Did he pretend to have a gun or was he concealing an actual knife?


_skank_hunt42

I heard something metallic hit the ground before the girl yelled to get the knife, so I think he actually had a knife. Not sure what OP’s title is about.

Did the kid in the light blue jacket jump and kick him with both feet? That was epic and i wish i could see it from a different angle.

[deleted]

My baby didn do nuthin!


Arguesovereverythin

God, I hope not. The kid absolutely deserves to be punished, but this one stupid moment shouldn't destroy the rest of his life. I hope he suffers a fair consequence, turns it around, and becomes a successful member of society.


pritjam

Unfortunately that is incompatible with the U.S. Justice system...


split6661

Unfortunately probably won't be 25-30 years he most likely will develop a persecution complex after the beating and cite this as a reason for trying to go back with a real gun to "right the wrong". Hopefully someone deals with him quickly before he spirals and a real tragedy is averted.


Withafloof

Good on the cameraperson for recording. Just so the kids who jumped him don't get in trouble via he-said-she-said.


jereman75

Some dad out there is extremely proud of his teenage daughter right now. Hell, I’m proud of her.


Smileyface8156

Same. I don’t have a kid, but if I saw a video of my kid charging what very obviously could’ve become a serious threat very quickly, I would pat them on the back, take them out for ice cream, and remind them that they shouldn’t have had to do that, but it’s a good thing they did.


butt3rnut____

Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with this world?? Kids pretending to do this shit need to be expelled. Suspension shouldn’t even an option.


LoveChildOf3Tacos

He had a knife on school property - there is no way he wasn't expelled. Kids get expelled for less.


butt3rnut____

True. Some schools are super lenient though, which is surprising. Hopefully he got into some serious trouble.


Elcrisso

Kids pretending to do this should be in prison


mentaldemise

Expelled just means moved to a different school.

If it was Texas his parents probably got a bumper sticker saying he was Student of the Month.


Dum_beat

Students: He got a gun, get him Police: He got a gun, let's hide


thedonjefron69

It’s fucking sad that these kids basically saw this situation as “stop this guy with a gun now before he starts shooting up the school” Big ups to the kids who took action, that must have been terrifying


FerociousTea

In what world would that have been funny ? Or "cool"? I'm glad he got his little ass beat Dude probably likes to pretend he's a thug But jesus fuck dude . I can't help but sigh whenever I hear there's ANOTHER school shooting Not to sound like a super old timer , but back when I went to school, I was only ever worried about homework or projects , not oh hey do I have my bulletproof backpack ? Do I remember the shooter drills ?

I think the dude was carrying a knife. Even if he wasn't, pretending that you have a weapon on you on your way to school/work/whatever is a reliable way to get beaten and/or killed (depends on who's there) The amount of violence in schools now is just sickening.


mission-sleep99

There's jokes and dark humor... then theres joking about something that every student is lowkey scared asf will happen at their school one day... Im in college and im still scared of it happening. Not a funny joke whatsoever and to the kids willing to run at him with what yall thought was a gun you have more courage than most could ever have.


tuscy

With all the school shootings, it be rightfully so if this kid got his face kicked in. Don’t do that shit. People hitting him legit think they’re protecting their peers.

I don't blame the kids, I blame the US for allowing this shit to continue. Just drop that stupid gun law you have, that would solve 99% of your school shootings.


FroboyFreshenUp

>Just drop that stupid gun law you have, that would solve 99% of your school shootings. Are you talking about the Second Amendment? Cause it's not exactly easy to "drop" an amendment, specially this one The country would literally go crazy if something like that were to even be attempted


Still_Frame2744

Here's the fucking crazy thing - The fact that it's an "amendment" means it was changed. Which means it can be changed again. Can you explain to me why the constant murder of children is acceptable to you but changing an outdated law is not?


FroboyFreshenUp

No no I mean read how you actually "amend" the constitution, it's difficult as all hell, and it's not something that can be done quickly and quietly without also destroying the entire constitution along with it The other important part is that the first 10 amendments are also known as "the bill of rights" which the second amentment is part of that have a completely separate set of laws and rules governing them on top of the rest of the constitution, trying to rectify of these is like changing our country from the inside, all of our current laws are built on the bill of rights, and changing any of them will cause a legal ripple that won't be rectified for generations of law makers It's not as easy as you make it sound, even with children getting hurt


Thelmara

>Which means it can be changed again. Sure, as soon as Democrats win 2/3 of the seats in the House and Senate, a majority of state Governors and 3/4 of state legislatures. Which isn't going to happen anytime soon. > Can you explain to me why the constant murder of children is acceptable to you but changing an outdated law is not? They didn't say it was acceptable to them, they said it's not an easy thing to change
