View Full Version : *feels weird*
Spider

Well as you all know... I have the security job... it hasnt been a week yet and I already got two break-ins...
First one wasnt bad the guy tried to run but I caught him threw him down and handcuffed him. He was then arrested.
Second one... :ugh: I was alone last night and I couldnt play planetside or connect to the web (because the connection was down for some reason). I heard a truck pull up so I got up, and went for the main warehouse door to check it out. The main light were out like each night only leaving 1/10 of them on to save power. So I was standing on the catwalk and nothing was happening till a minute later the truck crashed thru the door.
At this point needless to say I was startled and pulled my gun out and made my way down... two guy with masks (those winter thingies whats the name in english god damnit) both were armed.
I followed the ''procedure''. I got up pointed my gun and told them to drop their weapons, kick them towards me and then lay face down on the ground with their arms behind their back.
They awnsered by shooting at me... the computer boxes served as cover... poor falcon northwest's. I waited till they stopped shooting to run to another piece of cover. I fired a total of 9 bullets at them... one got hit in the throat, the other got three bullets inside of him... but he was still more lucky then his friend, he got two of them in the left arm and one in the leg. The rest missed. I then rushed up to them kicked the weapons out of their reach and waited. I checked the time, 3 minute had gone by but it seemed like a fucking eternity my heart was pounding and my hand were shaking but I was still making sure they wouldnt get up, pointing my weapon at them.
Because of the truck crashing thru the silent alarm had engaged... the police arrived in 15 minutes. I was taken in for some questioning and I was released shortly after.
Now let's say I am still feeling weird about this.. I was informed this morning that one of them passed away and the other is in the hospital and will be taken to trial after his recovery.

Spider, they were trying to kill you. That doesn't make you want to retaliate in any way? It was either him or you. Now you know you can handle yourself in tough situations. Good job :thumbsup:

wow...i probably couldn't have done anything like that in such situation..:cheers: to you man.
good thing you're alive...and like above, those guys woulda killed you if you hadnt reacted how you did.
i understand how you feel..bout killing some1...hopefully it'll pass, cause that job sounds like a bitch and you gotta do what you can to survive.
:thumbsup: and hopefully you won't experience any more breakins like that any time soon.

where did this all take place at?
Spider
2003-08-11, 03:59 PM
Inside the warehouse itself. Ottawa, Canada. The news wasnt allowed on the site apparently the company has a deal with the police that controls the flow of information that will be released.
I may be bothered by the media at some point... but I don't have to awnser anything, right?
Thanks guys I guess your right... I feel I could of avoided killing the guy but It was him or me like you all said...

Spider
2003-08-11, 04:06 PM
I understand don't worry. Even my godfather had trouble beleiving me when I asked him to come and get me to drop me off at the warehouse so I could get my truck.

Yes they are.
Anyway, Spider. If you feel really bad about it (which I don't think you should, it was either him or you), then go to a shooting range to work on your aim. Once you become a marksman, you can shoot them in the head so they won't suffer. Just kidding, but if you seriously improve your marksmanship you can shoot those guys in the leg or shoulder so they can live to serve time in the slammer, and that's not fun.
Spider
2003-08-11, 04:24 PM
Well I already am a marksman... it's just in the line of fire your not the same... it isnt as easy as in a shooting range... they move, they shoot back. I was pumped up on adrenaline (sp?)
Thanks gohan and :lol: thanks for the name.
Lonehunter
2003-08-11, 04:27 PM
Well when your at the range walk around as you shoot. Bob your head around, run around. Practice shooting targets like this, people might laugh but you'll be the one laughing when it pays off.

talk to your boss and see if you can get an assistant or a buddy or something to go along with you on patrols. you were incredibly lucky that you didn't get killed.
and don't feel bad about killing that guy. you acted in total self-defense.
Lonehunter
2003-08-11, 05:23 PM
Yeah spider, one gaurd isn't very good. Talk to your boss and try to get somebody else helping you, at least part time. I don't think it'll be that hard, "Hey you wanna soot people and be shot at for 200k a year?" "Hell yeah!" I would.

Your security companies procedure is way wrong....
I'll ask Asmodeous who is a law enforcement buff like me but i am 99.9% sure that when you give the command to a suspect you tell them to put there arms out spread eagle and lay on the ground, telling them to put there arms behind there back is like asking them to pull a weapon out of there back wastebelt.

Screw that. Those guys knew the risks when he broke in and when he fired the first shots.
You were in a situation that you had the right to be in, someone tried to take your life, and you survived. It is very clear that you made the right decision.

Was thinking the EXACT same thing, but regardless, you handled yourself well.
As for the preacher thing, as far as I'm concerned, all religion goes to hell when a guy with a shotgun runs in and starts spraying. Then you aim for the head and put them down before they hurt you or someone else.

The man risked his life, and protected his charge, himself, and anyone else who by chance may have been in the building at the time, As was said, those men knew the risks when they walked into the building, much less opened fire, so the hell with them. Don't ask him a question like that, it's bad enough that he had to. No need to torment him about it. It was them or him, it's a miracle that one made it out.

No it doesnt haunt me... my parents were killed 2 years ago and I saw them die in front of my eyes both of them shot in the heart... I was then shot... many people know this... I just don't care about human lives or mine for a matter of fact...
I was just feeling weird because it was the first time I killed someone... I kinda enjoyed it and kinda did not at the same time... I feel like it was my revenge for my parents death...
So no it doesnt haunt me and I'm not disturbed by the fact that I could of gotten killed either... I'm just weird...

As everyone else is saying it was you or them man and you made the right choice. And whoever was talking about bobbing up and down around the shooting range, yeah it helps up your accuracy in situations like that, but try to do it when there's not a lot of people around :D
Hopefully this kind of shit doesn't keep happening to you over the next couple weeks/months/years. I don't agree it was entirely luck, you obviously have the skill and/or training to deal with these situations, but it's only a matter of time before you end up getting shot again :( if there's more and more robberies. If there is i suggest ask for more than just another temporary guy, have 2-3 other guys there with you...and like someone mentioned in the previous thread about this job...if you know a cop, or know someone who knows a cop, tell him to drop by once or twice a night for 10-20mins at a time...people won't be as eager to break in to a place full of cops :D
You were doing your job and saving your ass man, good work :)

eh thanks... its a good thing coming from you stry...
and don't worry doobz I'm over it... it was when I was 15 so all I want really is revenge. Salvation or something... (am i making sense) I feel I kinda got a part of me back when this all ended... they were never caught (the guys who killed my parents) so... if I ever find them they are dead... I can still see them perfectly in my head...
anyhoo no need for the drama :)
I would be more worried if you didn't feel at least a little something over it. Weird or remorse or whathaveyou. It gets a little scary when a person does that/has to do that and feels nothing.
Talk to someone about it. Preferably a councelor. Shit like that has a way of sneakin' back up on ya later, sometimes much later. Trust me, I know a little something about it.

If it is true, then you did the right thing. But more likely then not I'm smelling internet crap.

Just working the math
Parents killed 2 years ago, when he was 15.
Guess that could be a mistype but that adds up to 17
And don't know how Canada is, but to be an armed security guard in US you have to be 21. at least in CO you do. What is it in Canada? I know y'all have stricter gun control then we do!
I guess it's just that when I was 17/18 I met several people who were ex-wet-work operatives, cia assassins, and ninjas just back from a mission. So I take any tale too dramatic to be believed with a grain of salt. Not saying it can't happen, just saying post a link to proove it.

thats the way it seems atleast:D No, you can't shoot anyone in America unless they pose serious threat to you or someone else life or wellbeing. That means, if a guy comes at you with a tire iron, you can shoot him. If a guy breaks into your house, you can shoot him, if a guy is robbing someone else at knife/gun/whatever point, you can shoot him. These are not hard and fast rules however, and sometimes people do get charged with manslaughter or some such thing.

On an interesting side note Colorado has a make my day law, it states that you can shoot anyone you feel is a threat to yourself OR your property.
The joke aorund here is if you shoot someone outside drag them inside so the MAke my Day law Aplies :)
Anyway still waiting for any proof that this happened, I've searched the news in both english and French to no avail. nothing about it anywhere...
