@ryanf, if he said that, it might've been the reason the other guy shot him.
Too soon?

Forgot the last part where he says,"so you better watch out mother fucker."

On a serious note, it is generally a tragedy when someone dies and in this case some children will be left without a father. So three more children that may grow up with emotional issues. That is a shame. And I bet this do gooder was a loving father who cared about his kids.

Ex-Marine, crossfitter, crossfit gym owner. His ego wasn't doing him any favors.

It wouldn't surprise me if he had been a commissioned officer in the Marines. Lots of military officers (and non-commissioned officers) start believing that they carry more authority, exude more leadership than they actually have. Whereas their subordinate soldiers follow them only because they have to, and not at all out of conviction. So Captain W. Knight marches right up to an armed, violently dangerous man who has just hurt someone and expects that guy to stop, surrender, and do as he's told because Special Snowflake, Leader of Men Edition told him to. Yeah....about that.

My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. I don't mean to talk shit. I just wish he had the sense to mind his business and not get involved in a violent scenario he did not have to directly get involved in.

When I read this, you made me remember this scene.
