While we're building that wall on our southern border, lets go ahead and use some of those men and materials to put one around Chicago too, and Detroit. Who else can name some other wall worthy cities?
Lawrence Farinelli says
Unfortunately situations like this are becoming more and more common. 60 years ago this was a very rare occurrence. Today, it happens quite often. Gun laws and self protection rules are becoming more and more strict… makes absolutely no sense.
Larry Stewart says
Put the damn phone down! F#*k!!
Paul Collum says
Have your hand in your pocket on your .38.
dope skill says
Looks like red pants comes from behind the truck with a gun in hand. Stainless.
NK Community Patrol Watch says
Thanks John. Always nice to get some street smarts and awareness videos now and then like this we can use for examples for our Community Members. Can't carry self defence weapons up here. Our government leans to giving the perp the advantage :/
Matt Dizzy says
Look kids a completely unsuspecting person in a ski mask just popped out from behind that truck and is staring me down as I walk closer, I’m sure they are harmless
Oldham says
Is it strange that I can't see a difference between Chicago and Brazil? ?
Guest Guest says
The victim was so clueless that I’m having trouble feeling sympathy for him.
Patriot says
I used to live in Chicago. That happens there all the time…
Dinker Edwards says
Guy was probly looking at his cell phone like 98% of the rest if the world…Great target for sucker punches. .Raise your heads up and look at your surroundings people!! S.m.h
Riley says
I was the 420th like 😉
Shadow Sage says
If I was there I would have put one guy in a head lock and tell the other guys to drop all there weapons or I'll break his neck
Power to the Sheeple says
Welcome to Chiraq
Brace67 says
It’s not a nice thing to say so but this man allowed himself to be victimized, a sort of open invitation to perps and that’s exactly what happened.
BP says
Yet another illustration of the difficulty of prevailing in a "two front war" with multiple attackers. Germany lost both world wars trying to fight two front wars simultaneously.
Mike Vescelli says
Any black guy pop up in front of me with a hood on is a sure fire alarm to fight or flight.
kmzxtool says
I live in Chicago and I almost had this exact thing happen. I know better since I'm a daily ASP watcher. My sister called when I was walking to my car and I got distracted. I lucked out since an Uber drive pulled up right as 3 guys jumped out of the car and surrounded me. But, I walked right into it! Stay off your phone when in transitional spaces folks!
Mel B says
That location looks familiar from another assault video. Probably a notorious crime sidewalk so cctv is installed. Be safe all !
James Baldwin says
John thank you so much for your lessons. I watch everyday and I use your lessons in my everyday life.
Hebrew Outlaw says
Thank God I got out of that hellhole.
P. w. S. says
Coffee and ASP it’s better than a doughnut…less sugar more fun!
Mr. W. says
Chicago….the American Brazil
Leo Calhoun says
What wimps.
SuperMeToTheRescue says
The victim was probably a Leftist college know-it-all who thinks all black people in Chicago are just puppies, and the evil police are the dog catchers, picking up strays at random and throwing them in the pound.
I doubt he learned his lesson either. I’m surprised he didn’t give them his coat, hat, backpack, wallet and shoes in the name of white guilt and reparations.
P. w. S. says
people I saw that was coming a mile away. The young man just doesn’t live in that mind set. Bad guys suck! just comply and buy another one.
Le Noir says
First break; ASP time…
MustyMouse says
Number one lesson out of this for me is keep your hands ready. Could have easily blocked that first punch if he'd just not had his hands out like "what's up what do you want guys", then chopped it the heck out of there with run fu. The perps didn't look armed, but I'm still not going to stick around in a 3v1.
James Ortiz says
Check Albuquerque news today John. Bus driver attacked with hatchet, bystander stops attack.
JT's hunting and fishing says
Haha aother lame ass video. This is active self protection!! More like active self pussy!! Emotional fitness hahaha more like his pussy FU kicked in.
Al Dee says
John, how many times have you had to use your firearm in a real life self defence scenario? Also, Same question with any self defence item (pepper spray, empty handed skills, flashlight? etc)?
Craig Dashwood says
The zombie was asking for it.
Tomash Studio says
Looking good John
MrAuto727 says
Why in the hell would you spend $1200 on a cellphone?! Congratulations dumbass you just upgraded to a phone that the only upgrade is that it : vibrates in your hand and not in your pocket!! … hell if you ask me he got robbed before he left the cell phone store!!
mareko masondo says
I like how you recognize Craig Douglas, he is a great teacher about awareness and managing people you don't know.
CushiticLand says
America Land Of The Freedom ? where you’ll be targeted for your values and appearance. My S&W 9mm would have been solved this problem easily!
Dan H says
Should have run fu as soon as the perp popped up. One reason I use a flip phone, a cheep flip phone is not worth attacking you for & it makes bad guys think you have nothing. I keep my tablet & lap top out of site.
Michael says
And in broad daylight.
What a s'hole!
Jose says
John…You start looking TOO SLIM. How much weight are you planning to lose for God's sake???
John Doe says
The jigs strike again
S B says
I feel for the innocents in Chicago. I went there once for a job and stayed a few nights back in 2006, but other than work I will never travel to Chicago
Pat Patton says
John. I love your videos. I been a LEO and since left. I've forced myself to Not be a cop… Not my problem any more. But I've not carried in years. As my state turned into a recreational marijuana friendly region. Boy has the scum of the USA come and messing everything up. I think I'm going to start carrying again. I tuned my 1911 to match perfection and went to the range to spend a few rounds. I had nailed a plastic golf ball about 30 yards. Not bad at all. I'm going to use my level three holster and old duty belt.
Ellopez05 says
Chicago is the Brazil of the U.S.
Peter Torres says
Is Illinois a ccw state?
Mark JetGator says
How come I can't see the perps faces? Oh.. I remember..
Jason Powell says
Thank you!
Michael Goding says
I hate that fucking town
