BF2S Forums So, I saw someone die this weekend......

So did they ever acuse you of being the shooter?
Where do you live again?

Cause maybe its common to carry a gun where you live (lucky) but in New York i could easily see me being taken away and probly charged with the murder -.-

yeah seen some of my friends get shot ............................. its hard


the hardest part for me to deal with is the anger

What the fuck man? Thats fucked. Good job at not getting shot yourself I guess. Do you know the reason for the shooting at all?

no, they didnt think i was the shooter ever. like i said, when the police arrived, i calmly held my arms out and told them i had a pistol on my right hand side.
i told them that i looked for threats and saw none by the time i got out there.
i dont know if its common for people to carry guns in st louis, but a lot of people do.

tell me about the first time too

that sucks though

must of been scary

a guy in the booth next to me at the shooting range shot himself in the head with a Kel-Tec .380.
that was WAY worse than this for some reason....that really fucked me up. i didnt even lose sleep over this....its weird, i dont really know how to explain it.


oh, and the reason for the shooting was attempted robbery. apparently they (there were two of them) told him to hand over his wallet. he said it was inside and turned to go in...then they shot him in the back.
his wallet was in his pocket


they didnt catch the fucking cunts, and i doubt they ever will. shootings happen on a daily basis here, and unfortunately a lot of them go unsolved.

Fucking hellfire Mr P a lot more excitement in your weekend that mine.  Sounds like you acted the right way all the way through even down to being disarmed yourself.

I have experiences of people dying.  I was holding My Mum as she died and took her last breaths and saw a baby of a few days old die whilst in ITC with my daughter, I love my Mum to bits but the baby dying will always haunt me.  The baby was one of a twin which had survived.  The next morning the parents were trying to gain access onto the ward while myself and Mrs were leaving.  I could hear through the video security screen the babies Mum saying "It's Joshua's Mum" and this was confusing the nurses on the inside desk.  The Nurse was looking up at the wipe board with the incubators layed out with names and replying "We don't have a baby Joshua, what are you on about??".

"No" the mother replied "he died last night, I just wanted to say thank you for all you did". 

We walk out the door she walks in and Im already crying and she's carrying chocolate for the staff as a thank you.  I had felt bad the previous day seeing the nurses trying to save the baby with a small breathing pump thing, I had left the unit as I knew something was up, returned 30 mins later to see the incubator empty and the sheets being changed ready for the next baby, I cried and cried feeling so guilty that my daughter was making a recovery from her illness.  The nurses came over to me and just told me it's life, your here for your girl.

Last year while shopping I saw an old man just collapse to the ground and die of a heart attack, all the shop staff were trying to save him but to no avail.  It was pissing down rain he was on the pavement, his shopping basket had fallen and all his goods were rolling into the road, I went into Tesco's, their staff ran out, I heard the sirens came out 5 mins later and knew they had failed in bringing him back due to his colour and the reactions of on lookers and staff.  The had the de-fibs on him and his body was jerking up and down with every shot they were trying, or so it seemed.

In all except my Mums case I saw a failed ressucc attempt (sp).  With my Mum she instanly looked at peace, she had been i'll for 6 months and the sun came out straight away on what a been a real shitty day.

yeah I'm little confused also

No No sorry

1. I saw a baby die, this was during the time I spent in ICU with my girl.  The baby was part of twins, nothing to do with my family.

2. My Mum died 5 years later.

Its the evolution of life, I was lucky to the extent I buried my Mum and not my Daughter, but thanks.

Talking / Typing about it helps.

Nothing really triggered me until I read this. I mean, shit. That's just....fucking depressing, to think somebody innocent is dead in such a way like that. You know what, the only type of person that would do this would be some addict who's totally off his wire. Someone who would be better off dead than rehabilitated. I think, it's a shame nobody with a gun, perhaps even you Parker, was around to possibly change the situation. But maybe, it's better you weren't there.

i have already started in with the, "i should have gone to smoke with him" bullshit, but nothing can be done.
what happened, happened. he chose not to give up his wallet, and that is what happened....hell, even if he DID give them his wallet, there was a chance they would have dusted his dick. like you said, dope fiends.
but i think its more than that....its this mentality that the world owes you something. for some reason these people think they dont have to earn a living like the rest of the world. they can mooch off the government, and then rob marks when they want.
coulda/shoulda/woulda.......at the end of the day, it doesnt mean a motherfucking thing.

Varegg was right....the sleepless nights will come with time.

the one thing that is going to stick with me, cause its what fucked me up seeing this type of thing the first time:
the smell.
it wasnt as bad this time, but when i was leaning over checking him out, i got the foulest whiff of burnt copper smell.
thats what gets me...it turns my stomach just thinking about it.

Well. Your a stronger person after witnessing it.

Still,it would be better not to.

One of the tragic things in all this was it was murder rather than a natural cause.
