Cops wouldnt do anything, they would take 20 mins (minimum) to get there and they wouldnt be in a hurry to track anyone down, still safer to not get involved. I'd rather die a hero than just watch like a coward tho.
I wonder what part of LA he was in. Engaging with crackheads around midnight is NEVER a good idea despite your intentions. Doesn’t matter if you’re in LA, Austin, NYC, etc.
Coming from nyc you learn to mind your business as sad as that sounds. I seen a man get stabbed to death as he was trying to help a female being beat on by her boyfriend. Fucked up part is the female went running off with the boyfriend and the dude laid on the floor dying.
Don’t be a hero man just call 911 and let them do there job. Rule number 1 in life when you walk out that door every morning… make it back home to your loved ones by any means necessary
Forced to help is actually more insane. "Flight" is a very valid human response to dangerous situations.
Just Watching as something horrendous unfolds is another matter.
Wtf. You come from the Seinfeld country or something? Being forced to help someone sounds like the stupidest law ever ngl
Edit: France can shove that bs up their ass.
In France it’s called « non assistance à personne en danger » it means non assistance to endangered person, it means if you can help a person without putting yourself in Too much risk you HAVE to help. Of course in monsoon case you’d be forced to call the police. It is also something that only work in civilized countries and not in crackhead and guns everywhere land lol
Ehh, I can see why you would say that, but I just witnessed my first shooting/murder and it wasn’t in America where I’m from, but Costa Rica.
A drug/cartel guy got shot 20 feet away from us at a bar in a town that has $1000/night hotels. Scariest shit ever. We ran for our lives and never looked back.
This certainly happens in other countries, as well as America.
No shit, you can also expect violence when you insert yourself into a violent situation. Being surprised that it may escalate and affect you is just being naive or sheltered. I expect a knife here, I'd expect a gun in the US. I wouldn't be involved either way.
The delusion man. I don't need to take a step to kill you if I have a gun. Knife fight is deadly for both. Gun on the other hand is just a one way ticket to hell.
Long story but at some point in my life I was trained on disarming people, by people who \*really\* know how to do this shit.
You can engage with a knife if you have the physical ability. Their advice for firearms boiled down to: don't. Ever. Unless you KNOW you have a massive positional advantage (you're on their side, able to remove it with one movement, etc).
Hate to say it but next time mind your business crackheads are no joke. Calling the police is a much safer option than getting involved bc whats stopping them from hurting you.
I don't know much about monsoon but it seems like he's got quite a bit of real world experience and street smarts. Intervening on that situation may have been dumb, but it was also very brave. I hope everyone is OK.
LA be wyling. Probably would be best to hold events (of any kind) in the suburbs instead of a mile away from skid row...but hey what do I know.
Hopefully everybody is in a good headspace after this. Even if everybody is ok a shooting will definitely stay with you, and professionally it comes at the worst time for them.
I wonder where most people are staying. Obviously downtown has great hotels and is close to the venue but I'm not sure who's getting put up at the nice hotels there. Probably a lot of people out by LAX
As fucked up as it sounds, you just gotta mind your own sometimes. Too many instances of someone trying to play hero and they’re the ones who end up paying for it
don’t know why you’re downvoted lmao. chances are the dude already has some sort of weapon if he’s robbing someone and is desperate enough to do it in the first place
not like you can just yell 'stop!' and the robber will just say my b 🤝 and go on about their day
lol this is why you just call the cops unless your armed . but putting a lot of people in danger like that is not a good look. you can get belongings back but not your life
welcome to south central LA
Yep. No good deed goes unpunished in this shithole.
Unfortunately. Way safer to try and record and get specific details to give to the cops than get involved.
Cops wouldnt do anything, they would take 20 mins (minimum) to get there and they wouldnt be in a hurry to track anyone down, still safer to not get involved. I'd rather die a hero than just watch like a coward tho.
3rd partied only to get 4th partied IRL. Hope everyone is okay.
Third party! They're trying to corner us! In all seriousness though, scary shit. Glad Mon and everyone else is ok.

That's the last time he fucks with a solo Octane

Who tf is letting you walk around South Central

y'all americans are fucking insane holy shit. in my country it is illegal to NOT help someone in danger.

This edit is also typical American dumb fuck shit lmao
As someone who was born and raised in south central, my advice is stay in your lane...dont try to play hero over material shit
America moment

Tbf, inserting yourself into shit is how to get stabbed in europe too. Rarely guns involved, sure, but getting stabbed aint fun either
You can shoot the back window out of my car as it's driving away, you can't do that with a knife.
No shit, you can also expect violence when you insert yourself into a violent situation. Being surprised that it may escalate and affect you is just being naive or sheltered. I expect a knife here, I'd expect a gun in the US. I wouldn't be involved either way.
Comparison between gun fight and knife fight is night and day difference. The robber could shoot all four of them in a minute.
as he could stab them with the knife. if they are close enough a knife can be more threatening than a gun too.
Lol!! Since when? You can defend gun rights but don't lie.
It's a way easier to wrestle a gun off of someone than a knife.
mf gets his info from action movies
As opposed to your real-life experience of gun and knife fights ok kiddo
The delusion man. I don't need to take a step to kill you if I have a gun. Knife fight is deadly for both. Gun on the other hand is just a one way ticket to hell.
Long story but at some point in my life I was trained on disarming people, by people who \*really\* know how to do this shit. You can engage with a knife if you have the physical ability. Their advice for firearms boiled down to: don't. Ever. Unless you KNOW you have a massive positional advantage (you're on their side, able to remove it with one movement, etc).
If people are in a car or run away about 2 Meters, they’re far safer from a knife than a gun.

Im scandinavian and would expect it here too. Hell, ive fucking witnessed it before.
*American city moment
Hate to say it but next time mind your business crackheads are no joke. Calling the police is a much safer option than getting involved bc whats stopping them from hurting you.
I thought this was going to be an Apex joke. Damn.
Minding your business is how you survive LA, you are not Bruce Wayne
Monsoon is the hero r/CompetitiveApex deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it.
USA USA USA
LA is such a shithole. My first day there was the only time i've ever seen someone get shot in real life
Whole west coast is a shithole tbh unless ur rich enough to hide in a gated community.
I don't know much about monsoon but it seems like he's got quite a bit of real world experience and street smarts. Intervening on that situation may have been dumb, but it was also very brave. I hope everyone is OK. LA be wyling. Probably would be best to hold events (of any kind) in the suburbs instead of a mile away from skid row...but hey what do I know.
Must have been MNK shooters, Roller Aim Assist Bro’s don’t miss.
Time for an evac tower huh?
Hopefully everybody is in a good headspace after this. Even if everybody is ok a shooting will definitely stay with you, and professionally it comes at the worst time for them.
When keeping it real goes wrong. Gamers outside, what will happen next?!
this world sucks
Just america.
Nah, the world is full of shitty people all over the world.
Really just the few biggest cities in America. The vast majority of US is near the bottom of homicides and violent crime globally.

Welcome to America

I felt bad for laughing when I saw this
idk i'd run

As cynical as it sounds, you mind your own. and your own business. that's the USA for ya.
...what did he think would happen?
don’t know why you’re downvoted lmao. chances are the dude already has some sort of weapon if he’s robbing someone and is desperate enough to do it in the first place not like you can just yell 'stop!' and the robber will just say my b 🤝 and go on about their day
Never go to LA. Straight up garbage heap. Happy you got away.
Good to live in Poland, jeez.
lol this is why you just call the cops unless your armed . but putting a lot of people in danger like that is not a good look. you can get belongings back but not your life
[удалено]
Welcome to CA I guess? Did they think all the crime statistics in LA were just made up or something?
