Gentlemen I watched the video of the shooting as well and I came away feeling very disturbed and unsettled. I found your podcast shortly afterwards and I want you to know that I really appreciated your thoughtful discussion on this topic. It really helped me to better process what I watched and I really enjoyed listening to your insights so thank you to you both for that.
Thanks so much for listening. We appreciate that you got something beneficial out of our subject matter. You can help us out by sharing with friends and leaving a review on Apple Itunes. Otherwise have a great day, let’s leave a legacy.
Disturbing situation, but a sensible take on it. I think when you factor in the occasional isolation of Winter in a snowy climate, the pandemic and neighbor quarrels…you have a recipe for disaster and that’s exactly what happened here.
I hate to say it but the couple did virtually everything wrong in this situation. They certainly didn’t deserve to die, but their reaction didn’t strike me like something any logical or sane person would do.
They had numerous attempts to descalate the situation but instead kept taunting the guy…until the very end. The sight of a gun didn’t phase them, neither did bullets flying past them and they did very little in terms of trying to save themselves. Its almost a text book example of what not to do when a gun is pointed at you.
