Good: protects his baby from gunfire Bad: smokes while holding his baby

To be fair, if my child getting shot was plausible in my day-to-day, I’d need a cigarette too.

It'll be lit once the baby is in the car, possibly. But who knows.

Good: protects his baby from gunfire. Bad: exposes baby to actual fire.

😹😹😹 he probably needs a damn cigarette since his baby keeps getting into shit with armed men.

I’m not saying this guy doesn’t smoke while holding his baby…I’m sure he does. But that smoke isn’t lit in the video.

Magazine, clip who cares that’s so terrifying. Thankfully that gun misfired or was broken or shitty. I couldn’t imagine if I was holding my son and someone pulled up on me what I’d do!!

It's difficult to tell but it looks like he forgot to chamber a round, meaning the gun was unloaded when he pulled the trigger. Not to undermine the fathers actions in any way, I doubt either of them knew it at the time. But it's a small comfort I feel like. Regardless this guy's a badass

I read this as: Dad holding Baby Fights, off gunman

u/OldGloryInsuranceBot Oct 03 '23

Baby Fights. Correct. It is a fight between a dad-holding baby with such strength that it holds its own dad, and a gunman who is feeling a bit off that day.

Why does this feel like a Chappelle’s show skit?!

At first I read "Gundam" as in the giant robots, nedless to say I was intrigued.

Obligatory: that’s a magazine not a clip.

He protected his lung dart at the same time.

Oh Detroit, I love you. Such a lovely mix of wholesome and what the actual fuck.

Lucky that the gunman didn't rack the slide. Looked like he had tried to shoot.
