"Taunting the Guard."

"Taunting the Guard."

In a perfect world this kind of scenario would never happen but we are not in such a world. I am talking about a security who was caught on camera who shot a man who verbally assaulted him and constantly dared him to shoot him. In the end he did shoot the man and the video showed this bully lying down on his back as the security guard fled from the scene. 

In a perfect world the man who was bulging with muscles would not underestimate the guard and politely argue with him about the parking issue that he had. 

In a perfect world the guard would just have swallowed all the insults and be the better man even if he would feel abused by this person. 

Of course this happened. The Muscled man lost his temper and kept on taunting the guard , in the video several people could be seen trying to placate him , trying to pull him away from the guard but like some gorilla who had wanted to put on an aggressive display he kept circling back on the guard. The guard kept on moving back , retreating.

The muscled man could not be pacified and with his last taunt finally succeeded in persuading the guard to open fire.The guard is only human and he had a gun. Keep on poking a bear and you know you are bound to get its claws.

Most comments online actually show more empathy for the guard and his plight. The arrogant person got what he deserved. Sometimes just because you are bigger than someone does not mean that that person cannot fight back.

"Akala kasi niya di siya papatulan...Ayan pinatulan." Was one of the comments. Maybe if he could have controlled his temper or maybe if he had listened to the people who were trying to stop him then he would still be alive today. 

Sadly this is not a perfect world. And the guard with a gun did him in.
