Sounds an interesting story, can you share more?
Are u saying a BJJ blackbelt and brownbelt didnt want to get involved in an altercation because it was on concrete?
No they didn't. They stead inside, 40 feet away.
Our supervisor has been hassled by this steroid and drug addicted mentally unstable guy who was pointed out to me. I always take note when he comes around-not sure why they don't ban him and immediately call LEO to let them take out the trash-and keep a loose eye on him.
That day he'd fucked up his juicing cocktail, was partially incoherent and literally doing these crazy flexing straining poses like his blood pressure was going to pop a brain artery. We couldn't tell if he was decompensating and going to roid rage destroy everyone on the spot. We keep repeating for him to come outside and finally get him out the door, but he stands right in front of it still out to lunch upstairs.
I'me just out of arms reach-didn't want getting grabbed by guy 30lbs heavier- half behind him reach so if he goes for my supervisor, I'm half a step away to disrupt his line and thinking "well I've been hit, kicked, elbowed, kneed, thrown on just about everything taken people down and restrained on everything, survived two major surgeries to put me back together, as long as this nutjob doesn't cause permanent brain damage I'm no worse of than I've been in the past"
As I'm pepping myself through the kind of adrenaline dump that I haven't had to work through for four years, I look back inside and the two BJJ bad asses are eyes down trying to ignore what's going down outside. Never even came up to the door, never came outside to form a loose perimeter like the manual says-not that they've ever done security work or violent encounter environment detail before-not a backup support indication from ether. Just eyes down, go about their business surrender.
Finally we lead the guy down the block, he starts to absorb what ever the fuck he took, gets some of his faculties and we fall back to mid point.
We're both like "fuckin A, I thought he was going after us eventually" I'm like "Whatever, as long as company insurance was paying, I've been out on re hab IR in the last two years, I was ready to go again, I always have a squad members back..."
I heard from another crew one of the BJJ guys said "That guy was huge, I'm not getting involved" to the effect that it's not his job description.
Quick fun story from two weeks ago.
A dude pitches forward eye's rolled back, limbs cramped up, biting his tongue, bleeding out his mouth.
Classic epileptic seizure symptoms.
Bunch of people scream no clue what to do.
I hear the event from around the corner 40 feet away sprint on scene, get the guy on his side, never carry com's anymore out in the civie world, tell someone to call 911 get me gloves. Get a rolled up rag between his teeth and keep talking him conscious. The company gun nut stands back-didn't take tail like the BJJ guys- no FA skills, no clue what to do, but can blather on endlessly about how many different kinds of guns he has....
Point is, I keep saying, outside of our specific skill experience we freeze and can't process high speed events very effectively. You gotta live it to be able to do it...
Sry I digressed....
No, still kicking myself for the slow adrenaline dump reaction time and just worked in this shit for a bunch of years. Anyone can do it, you just need to do it for real so you don't squirrel like do now.
Gotta break some eggs to make an omelette, besides roll around on safely padded floors and rings....
