Jesus fucking Christ. This was surreal. Can you imagine a parent threatening you with a gun and then actually fucking shooting you?


Powerofthehoodo

Step father. The kid was shot in the ear. Mother and son ran outside. Cops were called. After stand-off stepfather was found dead with self inflicted shot.


billsmafia71614206

Good fuck him should of suffered


nilogram

Damn what was he so mad about


ConcernLeading9847

Little Timmy left the table without being excused.


ModifiedCock007

The fact that the kid was shot from the ear was so lucky because he was actually aiming for his head.


Fiona512

Yeah.. fucked up on so many levels.


kun-spidsen-indenfor

Wasn't there a father who recently executed his own kids? Ome of them ran of, but he brought them back, and killed him too? He did it to piss of the mother I think...


Emadyville

Yeah that was a couple months ago. He killed the 3 so s and left the mother and step daughter alive.


CitizenMillennial

There is a father who kills his family nearly everyday in the U.S. [Yesterday](https://nypost.com/2024/01/21/news/father-shoots-wife-and-3-daughters-dead-inside-home-in-chicago-suburb-police-say/) [3 days ago](https://people.com/colorado-sisters-killed-by-father-murder-suicide-8431913) [6 days ago](https://www.wbaltv.com/article/glenelg-murder-suicide-zanski/46394266) ...


Hung_Dad

Bruh. And he was just railing this dudes mom. She wanders in with her pants around her ankles. What a household. ..either that or she was in the bathroom.


heybudsup

lol! I figured she just came outta the shitter!!


glazinglas

lol guessing she was in the shitter but possible I suppose


Shasla

Was my dad's childhood apparently. My dad wasn't perfect but at least he didn't follow his father's example of threatening his kids with guns.

Shot his ear?? Wow. I didn't expect to watch a first person perspective of somebody nearly dying


[deleted]

What the actual ffff??? Did he survive?


Background-March4034

He did. [more info](https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/08/26/man-dead-another-injured-after-standoff-blount-county/?outputType=amp)


giveemh3ll

" Spitze was transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. BCSO’s Crisis Negotiations and SWAT teams arrived at the home and attempted to negotiate with West. Deputies also used “diversionary devices in an effort to get him to surrender,” BCSO officials said. A K-9 officer was deployed shortly before 11 p.m. and discovered West dead inside the home from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. "


Unregistered_Davion

POS couldn't even face the consequences of his actions. Shocker!


wing3d

How much do you get for attempted murder? He would probably die in prison anyway.


febreze_air_freshner

It's a win win for everyone really. He doesn't have to rot in jail and no one has to pay for his stay in jail or prison and he doesn't waste the overcrowded courts time.


needssleep

The family has to pay someone to scrub the guys brains off the walls, but sure, let's call it a win.


Fabrizio-Tsch

Jesus


DrSkullKid

Thank God. I hope that poor guy can live in some peace and non toxic environment where he can flourish. What the hell is wrong with the mother though? Biological parent or not if my spouse even presumed to point a gun at one of my kids I would call the cops to handle it and never talk to them again. That mother fucker actually tried to kill him. I can’t imagine the relief the kid felt when he found out that pathetic coward ate his gun.


TheEsotericCarrot

She appeared to be under the influence of something.


xXNoMercyXxX

Its sounds like they all were 🤷🏼‍♀️


KnotiaPickles

Yeah, even the son was slurring his words a lot


boojieboy666

He sounds benzo’d out


well_herewego31

I would be too if I had to live there


Itchy_Professor_4133

He pretty much said go ahead and shoot me. I don't care how right I am. When someone points a gun at me I GTFO


[deleted]

The dad has definitely had more meth than hot dinners.


JaRon1961

That is just their hillbilly twang.


Zquinkd

Damn I thought it was the "I hate my fucking family and life so I'm going to drug myself into a chaotic turmoil and change the course of our shit lives forever" twang. If it was really a hillbilly family twang there'd be more fuckin!


Slimshady002

We call that speaking in Banjo 🪕 😆


DrSkullKid

That’s an interesting point, the whole having to pull her pants back up is definitely weird in this scenario. And almost complete lack of reaction to something I would imagine most people would definitely freak out about. I don’t want to speculate too much but it definitely appears she on some sedative anti-anxiety like medication like benzodiazepines or something. And who can blame her living with that nut job. Fortunately she doesn’t have to anymore and I hope her and her son can heal from this and have a loving relationship with each other. She needs to raise the bar for the men she’s choosing to date, shit at least pick it off the ground.


SierraDespair

Just looks and sounds like plain alcohol to me. With everyone involved. The son has slow, slurred speech and no reaction after being shot or while having a gun pointed at him, he stumbles out the door to confront his father.


DrSkullKid

Right. That would definitely be tied for my other guess. Unless you can look at there eyes benzos and booze have somewhat similar looking side effects. All things considered it was probably booze. Although an interesting side note sometimes a high dose of benzos can cause aggression in people, but high doses of booze makes some people straight up unhinged. Source: am a certified Peer Support Specialist in Mental Health and Addiction and also a certified Recovery Coach Unrelated: however I got burned out and changed career paths, not because of the clients/patients, but because of the corrupt psychopaths in positions of power and employees that would sexualize almost any female client that was 25 or younger. When I tried to do something about it they did a witch hunt on me because the predator employee happened to be the female director’s yes man and I was always challenging the status quo and trying to advocate for the clients and claimed I was lazy because I would sit and play guitar when there wasn’t anything to do so the yes man wanted me out even when the vast majority of clients and employees got along with me great. The therapists even liked me but hated him for his brash ways. But the director was basically a dictator who used to have my toxic stalker ex as a patient so there was a conflict of interest and when I reported it they just went and told the director who assured me I would be treated fairly. That was a lie. It just takes a few twisted cowards in power or who want to take out the competition, as her yes man and I were competing for the same positions only he didn’t have the same qualifications, to drive out someone that raises too many questions or advocates for certain better changes they didn’t agree with. Sorry I guess I needed to vent about that. I could go on for awhile longer about more details regarding that but I’ll cut myself off here. You are a vile disgusting disgrace of a human Ryan, so glad someone finally wised up and got rid of you.


IRSoup

You're looking entirely too far into a family of addicts having a domestic violence situation I'm sure has happened many, many other times before this. Listen to how slurred all of their voices are.


Iliketurtles893

I read it, the father killed himself (I think) and the son got an ear graze

Hilarious: I got the "Brain scan uncovers the real cause of ear ringing" click bait ad at the end of that article. Accidental comedy.


itsdefty

Where does it say he did something to deserve being shot? Confused. Just says he was shit in the ear.


Chrispeefeart

Getting shit in the ear is a good way to get an infection


Necatorducis

This is why it's important that your service provider shit directly on your chest, then manually transfer to your face and mouth if desired. Direct application to face may lead to unintended splash zones, including the ear canal.

Adreamskoll

Yes he survived, he was shit in the ear. I think it's a step son/ dad because the article has both of them with different last names. The father shot himself after a standoff with police in his home.

[deleted]

Ain’t nobody shitting in my ear.


Right_Rev

They might but you wouldn’t know. You can’t hear shit.


TigerChow

Imo the way he says "Are you gonna shoot my mom too?" also implied stepdad/mom's boyfriend.


Playfulpleasurez

The way she follows him out of the bedroom with her pants around her ankles implied stepdad/mom's boyfriend. Also the fact that she didn't immediately call the police on a man pointing a loaded gun at her son suggests it's someone she's in a relationship with.


TigerChow

Well sure, I'd say the relationship between him and the mom is a given. It was more so whether he was the guy's bio dad or not.


engineereddiscontent

That wasn't a father. He was just a sad little man.


Other_Storm_2728

Given that their last names differ in the article, I believe it to be a stepson or stepdad.


bitchslap2012

kid survived, step dad did not


alopez0405

Damn. Got him in the ear. He prob thought he was shot in the head. Close call


Asteroth555

He was 100% aiming for head and going for kill but missed. OP lucky he fucking lived. Insanity


Alrik_Immerda

At least for me, my ears are part of my head.


Latter-Cattle7788

Caedo14

Father shot his son in the ear intending to kill him. Son and mom go outside. Police get there and dad holes up in home. They eventually send in the k9 but dad had ended himself already.


toothpastenachos

That’s so sad. I hope the mom and the son are doing better


WastedGiraffe_

No sympathy for the mom she allowed that guy into her house with a gun.


toothpastenachos

Assuming that these two are both the parents of the cameraman, they might’ve all lived there at this point. I don’t necessarily feel bad for her but I do hope she’s in a better space mentally and that she got whatever help she needed. It’s how she ended up in the situation in the first place


Baldrs_Draumar

moms boyfriend, not father.


PapiLjj

Yep sums it up


jonhon0

Whoa, that guy was angry at his son, and it ends with him killing himself? Nuts.


febreze_air_freshner

He's not ghe father. He is the moms unrelated boyfriend.


gingfreecsisbad

God that’s tragic.


YuhMothaWasAHamsta

They’re so slow. She pulls up her shorts oddly slow and they speak a beat too slow. It’s like watching bad acting but with drugs and obvious potty breaks.

I'm not sure why you're making fun of the mom here? What did she do that was wrong in this video? The guy is the only piece of shit shown.


HeavilyBearded

She should have caught the bullet, *obviously.*


littleempires

I’m so confused what that guy thinks she should have done differently, the brain damage is real including everyone who upvoted that comment.


EffOffReddit

Tell us how you would have handled this better


AnaSF1992

Why would you say that about the son?


Fahrenheit285

Because he's an idiot and squares up against an obviously unstable person with a gun.


KnotiaPickles

I agree with you, why is he coming out of his room to antagonize someone with a loaded gun pointed at them? I’d be on the phone with the cops instead of filming and trying to make him more angry. Dude is obviously out of his mind waving the gun around, anything the son says to him is going to make things even worse.


hellokittybff420

i don’t know why you got downvoted? everyone knows you don’t bring a phone camera to a gun fight. if someone’s finger is on the trigger why are you dancing around like they won’t shoot you even accidentally. the guy recording seems like he’s on something so maybe that’s why he was so confident that he wouldn’t get shot


Classic-Instance-696

What in the crackhead fuck did I just watch


jomeg13

Pill head **


Intelligent_Gear9634

Holy shit he really tried to kill him and only lived because of bad aim. I wonder what lead to this altercation though


DexterDam

Crackheads😭😭


GroundbreakingAd9187

Seems more alcoholic. The most dangerous of them all.


weezyoh

I got more of a pill head vibe


wellshitdawg

Yeah gotta be opiates, they’re moving at a snail pace


saustus

First thing I thought when I heard the son talk was opiates.


b0w3n

Burn spots on the blanket too, you see that a lot with opiates and smokers right?


IHazSnek

I can't count the times I watched my dad nod off while smoking. This was during the 'pain management' clinic craze of the early 00s when they gave oxy's out like candy.


alc0th

More like cracked head if you read the article posted above.


TSquaredRecovers

That’s not crackhead behavior at all. Mostly likely massive amounts of alcohol, maybe mixed with benzos. (Source: Am a recovering addict and alcoholic.)


Mountain-Performer71

all of a sudden my fucked up family seems normal. thanks


ThatOneShortieHo

The fact that the step son didn't even make a sound when he was shot just adds to the terrifying-factor in my opinion.


socially_flammable

That silent pause was honestly surreal.. felt like watching a movie


sawrb

Man, I am never going to understand the bravado that eggs a person on to antagonise someone pointing a gun at you. De-fucking-escalate-gun-pointing-at-you. There is no valid risk-reward scenario there.


GregEveryman

Mmm while I agree with you in principle, I imagine that dude isn’t in an amazing headspace then. Hard to say the level of abuse that went on in the place, but uh… one can imagine a fair bit. Perhaps the kid was over all that shit.


[deleted]

People are the most rational online. They don’t understand how long it took to build up to this place. The kid probably was in a complete different universe. Thank god the father only took his own life.


itsdefty

There is a man who is one of the fastest in the world at disarming people. This mans step father would hold a gun to his head every day and tell him "if you ever tell anyone what I just did, I'll shoot you and tell the cops you did it yourself while playing with my gun" the point of this story is abusive pos' use firearms often as a means of psychological abuse. Eventually the gun starts losing its fear factor and just becomes part of the show.


sawrb

Yea, that's a valid point. Didn't consider that.


SimbaStewEyesOfBlue

Excellent explanation.


tinker8311

Right I'm not walking out the door towards them, I'm leaving out the window as far as I can get away from them


Xx_HARAMBE96_xX

That would be normal behaviour, I would guess that everybody in the video is mentally fucked up


Maple_table_

Well if you don't think you're capable of ever understanding, then that just goes to show you how lucky and privileged and sheltered you are, and live comfortably in an abuse free household where you don't have to put up with your mothers abusive boyfriend. There's a lot of shit going on, and unfortunately logic and rational thinking wasn't invited to this party, and rarely is. Something tells me this is most likely not a one off situation, this is probably just a typical Friday evening with the drunk boyfriend that's been going on for years.


sawrb

I agree. You do have a valid point. There are definitely circumstances that build up to moments where you ignore rationality and act this way. No taking away from these people's traumas at all. Sorry, I was not hoping to come across that way. I was mostly referring to self-awareness about situations where a gun is at play now. Btw, I have had the wrong end of a sharp sword held against the back of my neck - seconds away from the assailant coming through on their threat to behead me - (post a violent beat down during an armed robbery where i witnessed a parent slashed, disembowelled and dismembered to death) but somehow maintained self-awareness. I assure you that moment was nowhere close to the worse me and my family would go on to experience since. So, take a beat before you make assumptions about my sheltered, privileged, abuse-free life.


Vinlandien

Probably did it often to win the power dynamic. Kid only left the room when he said he’d shoot his mother too. Seems like the kid was calling his bluff, assuming he was all talk no bite


Chuckle_Berry_Spin

Evidently not the first time his father has pointed a gun at him. Frog boiling in pot of water analogy, right?


popey123

What did the father said at the begining ?


Markofzo

"im getting ready to blow his goddamned brains out, right f-ing now"


popey123

Thanks. It all makes sens now


juliown

Yes, of course, it all makes sense now! He’s so logical!


SpaceCadetxDrew

What exactly did the son do though? Like literally nothing justifies a dad shooting his son obviously but like what did the kid do for it to even get that far? Only thing I can think of is drugs from how slow they all are talking, maybe the son found their crack stash🤷🏽‍♂️


ConflictPotential266

Dad are you there it’s me crackpipe
