(19,288 posts)As the aggressor and he needed a cover story. He made one up. I think he likely shot Travon at close range straight through the heart, after tracking him down. Cold blood.
Z was hopped up on Ritilan, making him angry and aggressive. He was tranquilized by Xanax, removing the anxieties related to blatant disregard for human life. He was a ticking time bomb of personal failure, looking for someone to take it out on.
If anyone has ever taken the most basic self defence course you learn never to let your opponent get you on the ground. That's the whole purpose of that "stance" you see fighters strike. That forward foot and the bent knees. It's meant to guard your balance. The next thing you learn is not to let somebody get a head shot in at you. You keep your FN eyes open and your FN hands up. (if you are not holding a gun)
When your opponent, attempts to take a swing at you, you see it coming and you move in and grab that swinging arm by the wrist. (if you are not holding a gun) You hold on to the attacker by his wrist and move in closer, it is actually harder for them to hit you, and start pulling that arm up behind them. If they continue to struggle you pull the arm up harder until they comply. While you have them you press into the back of their knee with yours and drop them on the ground. And yes you should be shouting for assistance. You drop the person on the ground with their arm behind their back and straddle them up high on their back, with their arms pinned. It's all leverage and using the persons own size and weight against them. It can be learned in one hour per week in 6 weeks.
