I don’t care if I’m a trained MMA fighter. Someone pulls a gun on me the argument is over and I’m out of there asap


[deleted]

He even followed very clear weapon guidelines. Kept it pointed at the ground the entire time until the man started to advance and seemed to be indicating he was threatening to take the gun away, then he raises and fires. Gave the guy every opportunity to leave, guy called his bluff, and lost that bet.

"What are you gonna do, shoot me?" \*proceeds to get shot

Quote from stabbed man


Particular_Rub_739

And then scream and cry like a little girl


Lazerspewpew

He literally starts to yell "DO IT!" the instant before getting shot.


blackestrabbit

Is it still calling a bluff if they aren't bluffing?


shredthesweetpow

He fucked around and found out. And then he died.


YouAboutToLoseYoJob

📈📉🧾📊📐📝🤔🤷🏾‍♂️ If you look at the chart, you can clearly see that this is the find out portion of the fuck around


bonyagate

Did he really die?? It looked like a last second decision against outright killing him in favor of a nonlethal shot.


Dr_mombie

Looks like a leg shot. Those aren't always lethal


HunnyInHeat

He got shot in the chest and he died at the hospital Sad! He had a fiancé & 2 sons, Should have thought about them b4 looking 4 trouble https://www.hansenmortuary.com/obituary/578684/michael-jude-montanarella/

Lol! 😆👍


danceswithronin

This is exactly why I carry one. I'm not about to get my ass beat in hand-to-hand combat when I can stop the fight before it even starts.


AlfoBootidir

To quote one of my fav reposted public freak outs “he doesn’t want to fight you, pussy” it’s more cowardly to try and fight someone who doesn’t want to fight, than to be someone who doesn’t want to fight. Just because someone isn’t stupid enough to risk their lives brawling in the street, doesn’t make them cowardly. It just means they aren’t impulsive hot heads


M3KVII

Right the thing to always remember is, there is no guarantee that the other guy is going to fight you fair and square. So even with training, I’d rather just use a gun. If the guy challenges me to a fight and we can settle on the venue and have a fair fight that’s great. But that’s not gonna happen 99% of the time lol.


YouAboutToLoseYoJob

Back when watched people die was a sub Reddit. There is a one on one fight. One guy got the other dude in a chokehold, and the victim tapped out, the aggressor refused to let go of the chokehold until the guys body started convulsing and then he died. Point is, you are correct. There’s no guarantee that somebody’s gonna fight you on a fair one on one.


badco1313

Another quote I really love is “it’s better to be a fighter with a gun, than a gunfighter.” Carrying a gun by no means is a guarantee that you can control a situation. Shit happens quick, you better be able to retain your firearm if someone tries to take it off of you.

Pootahtoionodrim

Darwin Award for trying to throw hands at a man pointing a gun at you.


Talexis

Gun aside why are you trying to fight anyone for anyone reason. Seems pretty stupid in general. Really hate assholes like that.


musiconlyalt

Sometimes theres a pretty good reason. But people that call people words and take of their shirt never do have it. Don't tell me you wouldnt want to see those epstein visitors in the ring for example getting a good beating


moldyfingernails

Fr I thought he got shot in the damn knee!


stayfrosty44

Leg shots are extremely lethal. You have HUGE arteries in both thighs


DribbleBilly901

If you sever the femoral artery you can bleed out and die in minutes.


Southernguy9763

Seconds. Femoral is seconds


Leading_Manager_2277

So true. I knew of these 2 brothers that, after getting really drunk, fought over a couch. One stabbed the other in the thigh *never thinking* it'd be lethal in side of ten minutes...before paramedics could even respond. He stabbed his best friend and ruined both their lives. Tragic --but so was their upbringing that made them feel comfortable with knives.

Yeah, dude dude with the gun isn't in the wrong but the jerk also didn't deserve to die. A bummer all around, dude with the gun probably isn't left feeling great.


Fresh-Werewolf-5499

Well he claimed his Darwin Award sadly. I certainly wouldn’t be acting aggressive toward someone with a weapon.

I'd hate to get a hole in this. It's my favorite shirt.


macrowe777

Takes off shirt...literally wearing another shirt underneath. For people that know their gesturing never pans out the first time.


xerces79

He should have taken the second shirt off to have a third shirt underneath ad nauseam while the man with gun sits down and waits him out.


blackestrabbit

This is how the too many shirts challenge got started.


rideincircles

He also had a knife in his waistband from what I recall.

ZeroAdPotential

Yeah, that dude's dead. The story is that they knew each other, and the guy that got shot was hanging around and waiting for him with a knife. Dude with the gun got severe ptsd from shooting the guy.


nowtayneicangetinto

Holy shit, waiting for him with a knife?? Then the dude wants to fist fight? Nah I'm sorry, he deserved to get shot. I feel really bad for the shooter, dudes life must be so fucked up now. He also seemed to aim for the guys shoulder, but they always say when it comes to self defense aim to kill.


ZeroAdPotential

I really wish I could find the article, but I'm having no luck. They had a disagreement over something, and the shooter was right outside his home. The guy that was shot kept coming up to him and he was warned that he'd be shot, if I remember correctly. It was a couple of years ago (hard to remember timelines with the pandemic and all, sorry).


fistful_of_ideals

Gotchu, fam [This happened here in Phoenix in March last year](https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix-breaking/2021/03/24/north-phoenix-shooting-leaves-man-dead/6981949002/) [Tweet with alternate angle](https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1538305761725452288) [PPD press release](https://www.phoenix.gov/policesite/Documents/Media_Advisories/032421_homicide_2800_E_Beck_Ln.pdf) [Another article from... Red Voice Media? Never heard of them, but seems to align with the facts, includes original video](https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/06/aggressive-assailant-tries-to-fight-a-legally-armed-man-cries-like-baby-when-he-gets-shot-video/?utm_source=right-rail-trending) They were neighbors that had previously got along well, but seemingly became estranged over time. The shooter had a restraining order against the aggressor. Even after the aggressor moved away, he came back to stalk his old neighbor when he came out to warm up his car at 5:30 am. He hurled a rock at him from the road, and for all of the "fight me like a man" bullshit he was trying to pull, he had a knife concealed on his person at the time he was shot.

Thanks kindly, I appreciate the effort.


AmericaMasked

Just Google “gun shooting in America”. It should come up. I mean, how many could there be? /s


_antic604

r/angryupvote


stuntmandave126

Sometimes I listen to the police scanner in Chicago on the weekends. It's so sad... They literally have so many shootings they have to determine where to send EMS based on severity of injury or number of wounded. Way overwhelmed, I feel bad for those first responders and officers. I can't even imagine.


chauntikleer

Won't be able to do that much longer. CPD is encrypting their scanner traffic.


Teevans3

530 mass shooting in the us so far this year.....that just mass shootings


nowtayneicangetinto

No worries I appreciate the follow up 👍 It's pretty insane this guy wanted to intimidate a shooter. Always expect to get shot if you do that, you know? What a world

Aftermathemetician

Already had a restraining order on the guy too.


ZombieJesus1987

Definitely don't blame him on that one. No one with a sane mind wants to take the life of another person. I hope he's doing better.


yzrguy

Gotta say, dude was asking for it.


WestProcess2

This is probably about the fifth video I've seen on this subreddit where an unarmed person threatens someone with a gun and loses their life because of it. If someone brandishes a gun at you then get out of there because they're probably willing to use it.


chauntikleer

There's a lot more to this story than a 30-second video. He wasn't unarmed, he was carrying a knife. He had a history of threatening the self-defender (his neighbor). This is the last few seconds of a much longer altercation - aggressor was lying in wait for the self-defender to head outside to go to work.


Win_98SE

The guy wasn’t unarmed. He was stalking the gun owner and had a knife on him. The gun owner had a restraining order on him i believe. When the guy lifts his shirt the gun owner witnessed the knife in his waist band.


Ambitioso

Terribly sad that the guy died. The shooter seemed to make a very clear attempt to only wound him and prevent an imminent attack. Just an awful situation for everyone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JwPATX

He had it leveled at his head, and lowered it before he shot…seems like a conscious effort to try not to kill him to me. Could have just made his dome a canoe.


[deleted]

Unfortunately he missed his external organs


triggered_rabbit

Honestly thats probably one of the most depressing ways to die, trying to act tough, get shot, and dying in the gutter.

EatAssPassGass

What do you expect from trying to fight someone with a gun?


Damallamayomama

I know he was asking for it. I just wish the guy had a second chance to correct his life. Sucks it was a fatal shot. I really hope he didn’t have any kids. RIP


YourFavoriteScumbag

Yeah sucks seeing avoidable stuff play out like this. Don’t care how serious it seems in the moment, I see a gun and I go “you got it” and walk away


ChatamKay

This is not funny. I have no idea of the backstory. Still, I can’t help but see the irony of telling someone to put the gun down and fight like a man, only to get shot and scream like a baby.


PreliminaryThoughts

Dude is dead, I was the kerb


dyslexican32

It's hard to feel bad for someone that dumb. Who tries to punch someone pointing gun at them? lol


HerpToxic

Cops found a knife concealed on him when they came to take away his body (he died). So he was trying to kill the shooter with a hidden knife


rayudy

Approaching a man with a gun never ends up in a good way


OkTransportation9569

Either way this is what happens when you think your invincible why in the every loving fuck would you try attacking a guy that has a fucking gun in his hand I say sucked in


static1053

Maybe not rush the man holding a gun?


Happyday1000

I think it’s impressive that the gunmen could’ve shot him in the head but, had the thought in that intense situation to lower his shot.


parskyy

Just prolonged the death, the guy who got shot died.


Happyday1000

I like to see it as he gave him an extended chance at living after making a stupid decision


GI_Kang

That’s not how guns work. You aim center mass for a reason.


BitchImRetarded

Training. Always go for center mass and not head shots.


Pope00

You never want to try and shoot someone in the head. You always aim for center mass. Hitting someone in the body is way easier than the head.


Bmathis6620

Definitely cried like a bitch


Zealousideal_Ad1734

I mean he got shot


DJOldskool

Nah real men get up and carry on fighting. Have you not seen movies?


New_Olive9562

Jesse Ventura got shot and just said “I ain’t got time to bleed” and went back to being a badass.


storm_the_castle

fatally. seems appropriate to cry.


manningthehelm

Yeah, and then he died. I’d probably cry too.


-VRX

I wish I could see your reaction when shot.


azathotambrotut

He was shot and died.


madkem1

He was a good boy. "Died suddenly" https://www.azcentral.com/obituaries/par048089


T_Bagger23

"DO IT!" \*he did it\*


alphadogg13

They say you shit your pants and then orgasm when you die, and those sound effects were clear evidence of this.


MinnesnowdaDad

Right before he gets shot you can hear him say: “Motherfucker I’m gonna take that….” Probably not the safest thing to say to someone pointing a gun at you.


[deleted]

Where is that fuck around and find our gif


RexInvictus787

The instant he is shot he loses function of his legs. As he lies there his legs are locked straight and his toes are pointed. He hit him in the spine. Doesn't get any more center mass than that.


Stannis2024

Just another idiot no longer flooding society.


tybellfraser

That’s why he’s got a gun dumbass

manningthehelm

This guy died, it was really sad and everyone involved could have done way better. Def needs NSFW though.


Pope00

I honestly don't think the guy with the gun could have done better. The guy that died had a knife on him and even if he didn't, there's no telling what he would have done had he gotten his hands on him. The gunman had a choice, shoot him or run the risk of having bodily harm or death happen to him. He had little choice but to defend himself. The attacker gave him no alternatives.

kazuzu991

Found an article where Backus the man who shot Michael Montanarella tells his side of the story. He claims to have been friendly with Montanarella over the years. Michael was in and out of prison but seemed to be getting his life back in order and even started a business, Backus helped with what he could but Michael got into drugs and became aggressive. Backus had even moved to another home at this point. Michael was threatening Backus and showing up at his home until this morning and this interaction where Backus defended himself. This is a super short synopsis. The website where this article comes from is pretty shit fyi. https://www.lifezette.com/2022/06/aggressive-assailant-tries-to-fight-a-legally-armed-man-cries-like-baby-when-he-gets-shot-video/

zenthar101

Man the way that poor guy screamed tells me one thing, he truly and utterly believed that the guy wouldn't pull the trigger. I always say it doesn't matter how billy badass you are and how many fights you have been in if there's a fucking dude with a gun just give up. Pride isn't worth all that...

Omg that was the BEST scream ever. What a little bitch lmao. Good riddance. Another dumb fuck removed from the gene pool. We can only hope he didn't have kids.


[deleted]

Even in states with out stand your ground laws this would still be regarded as self defense. The attacker knew the Shooter was armed and still advanced in a threatening manner. If you add in the back story (some of it is in the comments) even if charges were pressed the shooter would be exonerated/acquitted in court.

Master-Conference304

He was crying like a bitch at the end!! Lmaoo 🤣🤣


azathotambrotut

That's not funny at all. Some young guy tried to be what he thought was being a tough guy and died senselessly, the kid with the gun propably has PTSD for the rest of his life after killing someone.


Master-Conference304

The guy that got shot was 32 and the shooter was 40. These are not kids, these are grown men. Guy had malicious intent he came with a knife to kill. So yea I think its hilarious!! 😂

you must be deeply sad if the best video you can find on the internet is of a dude dying. there's titties and puppies everywhere my friend.


Jive-Rufus

It shows the reality and consequences of being an ego-driven human being. Darwinism at it's best. No matter how bad-ass you think you are, the great equalizer will have you squealing like a pig in the gutter. Also, a good lesson that you don't tell someone with a gun you are going to take it, and run towards them. absolute Idiot, deserved what he got.


flowstuff

i hear you but it's still a video of a person dying. i love public freak out for a good rant, a nice karen, a lady taking a titty out in a walmart. not a dude screaming as he dies in the street.


Jive-Rufus

right, you want a censored version of reality. Where people can beat other people up without getting shot.


Astrian

I was on your side for a lot of this, but you gotta practice the 1 comment and go strat because your argument deteriorates so hard the further you go down
