As my old man told me, your gun and your ego are separate things that you can't have with you at the same time. One stays home no matter what.
Wise words. I'm saving your dad's words to share. Thank you ❤
work, i'm gonna keep that one in my pocket. i always respect somebody who respects their firearm.
This vid is bringing up feelings for me. My son, Michael, was murdered on November 15, 2019. Because some neighbor was playing loud music. My son asked them to turn down the music, they had words & was suckered punched. While defending himself with nothing but his hands, a 22 yr old stabbed my baby in his heart. Over some fucking music! My heart will never recover from that.😢 I hope the young guys listen to your wise words! Yes, the guy is in prison for a measly 15 years. My son was only 29 years old.
I am so sorry 😞.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry for your loss xx
Thank you. I struggle a lot with my grief. I can't even imagine how that woman is coping. I hope she has a big support system.
So sorry for your loss
Damn I’m Michael and I turned 29 today. I know today is especially hard for you. The good do often die young. So sorry for your loss RIP to your baby boy 🙏🏽
To lose a husband and son right there like that had to be absolutely devastating for that poor lady.
Shouldn't of married an idiot and had a kid with him
Yup another bw who will be mourning the rest of her life bc our men can’t be civil.
So devastating that when her husband tries crawling to his door, the wife shuts it on him.
Probably relieved. You see him come out of the house like that? They likely lived in fear.
And I hope she relives it to remind herself not to try to control a man. She made me so mad and if I knew her I would put posters outside her apt reminding her that her grief is all her fault
Bruce is a prime example of positive masculinity. Always giving advice for people to build, to be level-headed, to be calm and reasonable; I love it. Thanks always for the entertaining and informative videos. You two are the best!
Really, positive masculinity? It’s simply called having humility. Let’s not try to label different types of masculinity or femininity, it only adds complication to this world.
@@oahts5906 Only use the term bc toxic masculinity is a real and demonstrable thing. Maybe it's bc of my behavioural therapy background, but I believe in rewarding good behaviour until it becomes the norm. Right now the norm, at least publicly and in the media, is death and destruction and people being awful. To me, calling out the good stuff and labeling it as good feels li8ke a way of saying "hey all, this is how it's done, and the results are good. You should try it." I agree that this stuff is just part of being a decent human, but when the bad stuff is so publicized, it can look like that's what humanity really is. Hope that makes sense.
@@HolldollMcG yeah i don’t believe toxic masculinity is a thing. There are toxic people, plentiful in both genders.
@@oahts5906this is like saying there are no differences between women and men. ridiculous on face value. There is of course toxic masculinity, just as there is toxic feminity.
@@oahts5906 Child no one is saying all men are toxic, but there is TOXIc masculinity. You got joking if you don't get that. I mean fuck I grew up in 90s being told what I can and can't do as a boy being told I had to be gay or a girl to do many things. Like I wanted to learn to repair my own pants I was told "no son of mine will be gay, that is woman's job! Only reason I even let you learn to cook is because I think your ass might take a while before you find a woman to cook for you." That is toxic masculinity lol. Same deal cousin quit football to play mens tennis the shit he got from the family was insane. Like I grew up where "that is gay" was common place and you got shit on for not being a stereotype.
I mean god damn I had a teacher once take me aside and really think I was gay because I was in drama as a STAGE HAND no less, but also took a cooking class, and I also quit football the same year my cousin did to join the theater department sigh. I am 39 just now taking my first sewing class and I love it, I love crafting things I got 3 3dp printers, a cnc and now an embroider/sewing machine. I still catch shit over that sewing machine from older family. Even though also know how to work on motorcycles, use power tools, table saws, and even wield lol But my boomer aunt is like "sewing machine is kind of gay..."
The son getting killed was awful, and the husband just getting executed while already on the floor, going limp, puts chills into me.
Imagine being harassed with acoustics for years
@@tomtroniliving in a city people should expect there are going to be assholes that could give af less about other people’s lives.
@@TheSakufighter people expect to live in peace. After hours knock it off. You don't live on a private island on your own private mountain. You reside in community with others around you. Nobody wants to hear your music or whatever it maybe. Level your music where it don't vibrate my body, stop violating me without touching me. People expect to able to at least read a book in their residence without gangstalkers emitting frequencies to harass neighbors
@@tomtroni duh, I literally I agree that people should respect each other but when you live in a city like that you also have to be realistic and pick your battles clearly.
@@TheSakufighter you need pick the weapon wisely for the battle. Punks like you raise the other cheek when getting fvcked
This was 100% not self defense. He killed them 2 guys with such malice and even ended both of them with killshots
The first shot he could have maube claimed self defense probably. Then he decided to execute two people, one unarmed .. wtf!
This reminds me of the snow shoveling indecent. Im glad there's no sound on this video because the sound from the snow video fucked me right up
@@H3li0s_kun Actually, if you closely you can see that the father was actually walking away when dude first shot him. It's hard to see since they blurred out most of it.
@@H3li0s_kunnaw he was 100% walking away when he pulled out the gun and shot him. Ok pull out the gun to deter the threat, however what he did was disgusting.
@@H3li0s_kunnope even then. Can’t shoot someone in the back who’s walking away. NY also has a duty to retreat which he definitely could have done. Either way he’s off to the next realm anyway. He brought a knife to a gunfight with police and lost
@@H3li0s_kunwhat was the snow shoveling incident?
It’s kind of nice to see a lawyer talking to people realistically. Not about technicalities…but about practicalities.
He speaks like a father would to his children. I hope someone learns from this.
I don't know if anybody noticed, but the way he did the whole thing is staggering. He was calm, he killed him and went for the other victim with no hesitation, no emotion. It is very disturbing to see someone killing 2 people with such coldness, like it was nothing.
Most likely not his first time.
Was he ex-military?
He didn’t even run down the stairs. He waits for the elevator.
Yeah.. i watched it a few times and its kinda chilling.. he shot both victims at first and then executed them so brutally.. like the child wasnt even a danger..
I saw the uncensored video. After killing the dad, he goes for the elevator or wherever, stops, rolls the son over enough to take something out of his pockets then drops him back down, then leaves.
To me, it appears that they had an ongoing feud. Murderer was standing there, armed, blasting music or whatever, while facing their door. It appears that he was instagating a confrontation. The son wasn't lunging at him, it honestly looked like he was just trying to get out of the way. Really f'd up. I am glad the murderer will never be on the streets again. So many lives are most likely saved now.
As a firearms instructor and (occasional) concealed carrier, I find I don't feel tougher at all carrying a gun. In fact, the gravity of carrying a firearm makes me actively try to avoid any and all conflicts and just generally be more polite and less confrontational than I might be without it. Love your channel, always great info. The 21 foot drill, Tueller Drill, after Dennis Tueller who came up with it, I was lucky enough to take a class taught by a him a few years ago.
I feel the same.....I am very proactive and go to get lengths to avoid confrontation when I carry, but I have taken many tactical training classes and make an effort to continuously think about different scenarios and how to handle them. This is not what most do as I am sure you know. I suspect rarely does a person actually drill consistently after taking your instruction???????? And there is this Tik Tok culture of gun idiots showing off their shooting "skills" that makes me want to vomit!
@@hubriswonk i've had people who, literally, haven't unholstered since their last class... LMAO (although terrible and not so funny)
@@gunsmithkevin that's amazing!
You are educated and think things through. That's not the majority of inner city gun carriers.
Some how i just dont buy that...but i think you want people to think that by default
Bruce, you saying give them a flower instead of a bullet hit me hard. Such a sad and senseless situation. Thank you for your wise and kind words
Yeah I'm sure the flower was gonna stop debo
2 vids on a Friday night?! I’m diggin it! Thanks Michael and Bruce! Y’all rockkkkk love the content!
We here for it 🔥🍿
Handsome, hard-working boys!
Tragically, sometimes there is such an utter disregard for human life that I can’t even comprehend it!
I hear you on that 100%. Truly frightening.
Scissors guy f**ked around and found out.
@@silverschmerz4261 so did the murderer and you act like he was justified when Bruce just explained he wasn't. And he executed a damn kid dude. You glorifying that bruh.
@dfromcool I’m right there with you 😢
@@silverschmerz4261 Shameful of you
Seeing a dead body always has an effect on me. It’s very unsettling especially when people ‘check’ to make sure the job is done.
was that a check or a mag dumb?
I've seen alot of stuff in my life close to alot of this but something about this video really made me feel some type of way
That was cold blooded murder
@@MichaelJohnson-ui9vy right the total disregard of life for both the father and the son. It’s disturbing to the core I’ve watched a lot of shootings but this one is definitely one of the coldest.
the title was very up front about the content of the video. if it bothers you, don't watch. or do. just don't complain about it afterwards.
I was a soldier in the Australian Army for 20 years. So I am highly trained in useing firearms. When I left the Army I worked in Security for 6 years. I was an armed security officer due to the fact that part of my roll was picking up cash from a number of businesses. In the 6 years I only had to draw my firearm once and that was enough. I never thought of myself as 6ft tall and bullet proof. The very last thing that I wanted to do was drawer my firearm because, once its out, its only going to finish in two ways.
This I grew up with guns, and even enlisted in 07 in US Army in time of war. I don't even feel need to own a firearm. I do want one but I am thinking like a shotgun or something like that if I wanted home defense. I know people with multiple guns who conceal and open carry who never ever drawn on any one and one I do know who has it was a family member by mistake no less. I mean I get with the scissors drawing might be justified ,but he shot him as his back was turned then shot the kid running down the hall away from him, then excuted the dad trying to reach his apartment while shot, that was just brutal as hell when he drew they were going back to their room probally to call the cops and he just unloaded on them.
Bruce is like a dad to so many people with his advice. Really a good person. Thank you for your service.
How on Earth did he keep a straight face saying all that in the beginning about his grandmother?!? I spit my drink out everywhere!!
Me too
I did too! 😂 😂
Haha. I was laughing out loud,too!!
Oh she gets into all kinds of trouble, according to Bruce 😂😅
@@crowredeye8066 I love whenever he talks about all the shenanigans she gets up to in his basement 😂🍻
So many lives just completely ruined.. and for what?! It's terrifying. Horrifying. My heart hurts for all the innocent people whos lives have been irrevocably altered.
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
@KatJameson this is not the first time this been going on for a long time. Communication is key the big guy shouldnt come at him with aggression and the other should have left. In the heat of the moment yu make mistakes. If your neighbour comes to you about noise yu should treat him with respect.
I literally did that with this pharmacy tech is always unfriendly and never smiles. I noticed her nails and told her how beautiful they looked and she smiled for the first time in the 5 years I've been going there. I was over the moon 🌙 happy!
I remember the day this hit Twitter and people were pouring a lot of energy into putting forward the idea that this was a complicated thing to parse. I don’t see a lot of hope in this world if distort reality to the point where we’re addicted to being upset and in constant confrontation
Twitter is not the world, they have chronically online brain rot on that app. Most people touch grass and have their world view routed in reality.
Whatever you say bro sure
we had neighbors who insisted upon having drunken late night pool parties until 2am. People bouncing on the diving board, laughing, and screaming with music blasting kept us from sleeping. All the neighbors asked them to stop and they basically said "f*ck you". The cops gave them warnings a couple of times to no avail. Fortunately, they moved at the end of the summer.
I'd say the day they moved,Yourself and family had a lovely sleep knowing that the pest's were gone. Noise can really start to effect you if it a constant thing.Have a nice restful weekend.
Cool story Bro
I live in apartments and had a man above me who was beating his wife all the time. I've got serious ptsd from that. I called police multiple times and told management. I did worry about retribution. Fortunately, they moved after I made a formal complaint to management. The noise of her running and screaming for help was awful. I won't have my peace of mind disturbed like that again.
@@daned8635l
I’m sure you’re a real peach Jani
You mentioned what happened in Maine. The guy had just tried to get help with mental health just weeks prior for having disterbing thoughts about exactly what happened but they kicked him back to the street 2 weeks later. I know from personal experience getting inpatient mental health help is almost impossible in this country.
Amen. We need comprehensive healthcare like every other first world country!
Today, people seem to have no sense of anger management.
Boondocks called it a nigga moment. They were so poignant in their comedy.
@@Zei33 well that’s an oxymoron.
@@lianalonge1984 it’s not. Comedy is an art form. Just look at George Carlin, all of his sets had a poignant meaning behind them. The best comedy has deep meaning, that’s what makes it real and entertaining.
@@Zei33 like tragicomedy
They never did, but at least it usually ended in a punch. Now it ends in a shootout. In our grandparents time, this was not an issue even with tough guys.
Your stories about "Grandma" always make me smile. Thanks Bruce.
This one breaks my heart like CRAZY!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢
Such a senseless loss for that family.
Imagine how the wife/mother feels!
She'll feel guilt for the rest of her life, even though she did nothing wrong and tried to stop the altercation.
May the men rest in peace and may the woman find it in time.
I have a neighbor who recently move into our building above us, and the stomping and kids running around is non stop since they moved in. I’ve tried many times to talk to them about the noise. They’d even lied about kids being in their apartments. I’ve spoken to leasing office, instead they offer me a different location for $100 more on my rent. I declined. Since this unfortunate incident hit the news airwaves, the noise has cease drastically.
😂😂😂😂 I’m sure it did 💯
maybe you can find the old tenant to move back in.....karen
Call the police
@kiinggriggz4208 such a gross solution, I would prefer do almost anything before calling the police.
Moved* , ceased* …. Just sayin
Michael is truly a genius. I cannot get enough if this channel!!!
Me too, Robyn!
Same great narrative, this channel
Well said,my fellow Robyn!!
Me too. Half of it is being subscribed to all the true crime channels.
Love Bruce, I don't always agree with him, but he and Michael are great!
That was so messed up the way he shot and murdered those two
Thank you, Bruce! You’re using your platform for good. It’s disturbing to see such anti-social behavior run rampant in our society. Your homework request is an easy practice for all of us to see the humanity in our fellow humans.
The black community embraces and promotes it
Seeing Bruce have so much compassion for everyone makes me believe there's hope for this world. Every parent hopes their child betters the world and Bruce's has that in his son running this channel, reaching so many people and sharing his role model with the world.
redisthecoolestcolour
I didn't know that about his son
Compassion is the single most important thing we need in order to live together in peace.
@@grayaj23what about morality as a whole?
@@oahts5906 I'm a moral relativist, so the only way I could answer that is that you need compassion and empathy in order to fit what society considers "moral".
@@oahts5906 they go hand in hand I don't get what this has to do with anything? You saying the moral thing to do was shoot some one in the back leaving after you draw on them?
Preach on Bruce! Besides being a great lawyer, you're a great father, and a wonderful role model. Heck, I'm in my 40's and I pay close attention to everything you say. You're a great man all around 👌
Reading thru the comments it seems like you're finally getting thru to some people about what is proper self defense and what is murder. Thank you Bruce. You're doing such a good job educating all of us.
I love your passion for encouraging us to avoid ugliness which can sneak into our lives, guns or no guns. Thanks, Bruce and Michael! 😊 ❤ It's obvious that you care about people!! That makes me smile 😊
Thanks again Bruce for your explanation.
I'm sure it's these cases of ego and emotion over logic and patience that keep Bruce in business. It's not just cops that would benefit from more de-escalation training in society/schools. A couple of deep breaths and some personal space could have changed this entire evening and people's lives.
Kids should learn about their emotions and how to handle impulsive actions and intrusive thoughts in school
@@tooi816they are to busy being taught to be trans/gay
You are asking for conservatives to scream about indoctrination and making kids weak
The only pushback I have is that cops are supposed to be held to higher standard than your average citizen, As people who choose a government job that gives them power and authority over everyone else, and the benefit of internal investigations done by peers and colleagues in “the brotherhood”
@@shoeshooey5464you fell for manufactured culture wars
Wow. This video was upsettingly violent. Why are people like this??? This is exactly the reason I live rurally and rarely go anywhere. My best friend and his wife were just gunned down IN THEIR SLEEP on June 30 of this year. They did not survive. They didn't even have any known conflict with their killer. I really fear and dislike people.
My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones for this father and son.
Thanks for your kind words and advice, Bruce. Many thanks to you and Michael for all you do! This isn't just legal, this is LIFE! Another valuable video, although sad .. I hope it inspires someone who might be hot-headed to think twice. It's just not worth it.
I am so sorry 😞.
My condolences on the loss of your friends. 🙏
It looks like the boy was trying to dodge away from the shooter and outta fear ran towards him ....sad
He then waited at the elevator instead of taking the stairs. So he sat there for 20 to 30 seconds and took the elevator down one flight. There was ongoing complaints because the victims had hardwood floors and walls in these buildings are pretty thin and so are the floors, so he could hear them walking. I think he also may have had dog ears and acute insensitivity to frustration. He did fire fatal shots into both dying victims when they were already on the ground. He fled and was approached by police. He was shot by police after he ran at them with a knife. He is now deceased, and for what.…noise! Also, the shooter was a corrections officer at Riker’s Island.
Yes, he was away from work for a year, maybe the hospital? Mental health issues? I doubt this was about watching rap stars. This man was 47 years old. I would bet this was about the man having some mental health issues. This man was probably mentally compromised and unfortunately able to get a gun.
@@dparks3784making a lot of assumptions there aren't you?
@@concernedamerican8 He's guessing, probably a decent guess. How many mentally stable people do you know that commit double homicide over noise?
Being a corrections officer probably was a factor in not wanting to go to prison, possibly to be sentenced to the same prison you worked at!
Just insanity!
Best one lately imo Every word of your"sermon " true. I have never had or wanted a gun in my many years until a neighbor antagonized me to the n th degree. I wanted to shoot him I was so mad.I couldn't believe my own anger.But, I was in my yard and he was in his and in a split second I turned and walked away, thank goodness.
It was shocking how fast I let anger overtake me over NOTHING. Thank goodness I kept my peace and nothing happened. You are absolutely right- it wasn't worth the consequences. This is a tragedy on replay all over America.
Bruce, I got so excited at 1:59 . Grandma is back! Been wondering what she is up to. Thank god she stopped smoking meth in the basement!! You are the king.
The poor wife/mom. I can't fathom the devastation she felt finding her loved ones murdered.
She seemed to have shut the door on her husband.
@@DrivenA111got to protect the little girl inside…
@@DrivenA111 I wouldn't be surprised if he had told her to close the door. They had a child to protect.
@@CrabLadius Look where he is: *right in front of it.* (the door).
She's prolly really upset becuase she made her husband turn around and let the dude have time to pull out the gun
You got me with the KINDNESS challenge! As an artist, I'm creating small cards that I can hand to people throughout the day to thank them for their kindness whatever it might be. I'm very good about verbally expressing it but sometimes you don't have time to do so - I'm kindness means so much in this world today!!
Wow I think that is an *AMAZING* idea ! I might try that... I'm not an artist but I have nice handwriting ❤
Nice! I’m from Alabama so it’s kinda our way to be considerate in the South but nowadays it’s less and less. One thing I notice is that people don’t really look at each other, don’t really make 👀 contact. Which just makes it easier to not acknowledge each other.
Kinda like the internet where we feel more connected with people than ever but, we’re really more disconnected than ever
@@_KaiRos-11 to be fair the internet is the only way you and I would likely ever connect. Here’s a bit of digital eye contact to say I see your humanity and to wish you a nice day.
You can preach all day and I'll be here listening intently and taking it all to heart. This was absolutely brutal, senseless, and heartbreaking.
I love that you guys got to over a mill subs, if anyone deserves this it’s Bruce and Michael, amazing content and genuinely good people
It feels like a violation of your personal space when you have noisy neighbors. There’s a sense of helplessness/hopelessness especially if you have a vindictive neighbor that’s upset that you’re complaining.
Hopeless because you know even if it’s not vindictive the noise will continue in a week because it’s just in their lifestyle/nature and you are just delaying the inevitable, anticipating the rerun of the noise adds to the despair..😞
😂😂😂
Well you can always move to a better area
@@shinsukecorbin425 we broke the lease a long time ago we brought a 600k ..shack, basically.
(if you live in northern VA you know what I’m talking about.)
Anyway if you’ve apartment savvy you know there is always going to be an issue no matter where you go.
I dont disagree. Ive been driven crazy by the sounds of neighbors. BUT I also realize that I also have had times where I may have been considered a noisy or annoying neighbor, especially when I first got my dog and she would get random zoomies (We live in a house now so thankfully she can run to her hearts content) But Ive never been so annoyed to want to confront my neighbors, let alone start an argument and carry a weapon. This stuff never made sense to me. So senseless
POOR WHITE GUY
Bruce and Michael, believe it or not watching these soothes my anxiety in times of stress and I just wanted to thank you for your channel and awesome commentary despite the crazy world we live in. Thank you both. 🙏
I agree! I think it's because he calmly explains in stressful situations what to do or not to do.
Exactly
Great advice coming from a defense attorney! But I mean it! My brother was a cop in LA for 15 years and it took a toll on him. He used to think people were good until he took this job. But people are good and can still be good to one another. Say hello to the stranger on the street, compliment someone you don’t know, get to know your neighbors. Just try to be kind to one another and see what effect it has on your day and theirs. So sad how hateful our society has become.
Unfortunately police are part of the problem
Your brother is right, people suck. Of course there are good ones but they seem so rare.
jessierodriguez2832 ..
His comments at the end were very on point. I'm 76 and I always try to put a smile on someones face. It does make me feel good to know I've given them a compliment, and they have received it with a smile and "thank you." There are some people who are absolutely "personality minus" and there is NO way you can make them smile.
Still, I always like to try to make people feel good about themselves. It's not hard to do and it makes ME feel good too. I was in a large waiting room at a hospital a while ago, and I noticed everyone in the room had their faces in their phones, except the lady beside me. I started off saying to her "how are you today, darl ?" and then commented on how we were the only ones without their faces in their phones. We ended up having a lovely chat.
Greeting from Australia.
@@steiny3353 that’s amazing to know they are still people out there who like to converse and have face to face interactions with others. That seems to be lost on our younger generations. My generation included. I’m 40 and I have 5 children, been with my husband for 23 years. My kids and husband make fun of me at times because they say I talk to strangers all the time. But it brings me joy to meet new people and brighten someone’s day. Greetings from California!
Dude brought the gun for a reason. This is two counts of premeditated murder if I've ever seen it.
It’s not. He’s dead. Furthermore, he might always have the gun.
@kclayA111 Obviously, I'm referring to if he hadn't suicide-by-cop himself and lived to stand trial.
The first guy he shoots is turned away from him and appears to be walking away when his wife tries to descalate the situation. He then walks up to the son, whom he shot before, and gives the kill shot at point blank range. Textbook premeditation.
Whether he had the gun on him all the time or only for this incident, that is irrelevant to the fact that he brought it to that floor for the purpose of using it. Perhaps knowing he had already thrown his life away having committed double murder, he gets himself killed by NYPD.
He didn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail, so he choose to pass away by cop. But I digress.
I'm in the same situation right now with my upstairs neighbors. My landlord says there's nothing she can do and says we should call the police. I haven't because I think it would just escalate the situation. Seeing this, and knowing me ( and how crazy people these days are) like Bruce said, it's time to move.
Great commentary Bruce ❤
Ps. According to the New York Post, the suspect was a former corrections officer.
I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. What a lot of people are missing by saying "it's just noise" if they've never experienced it is that people can absolutely psychologically torture you with noise. I had a mentally unstable neighbor have a breakdown over 6 months and bang on a shared wall and my front door at all hours of the day and night as well as blasting loud death metal music in the middle of the night. He hit our shared wall so hard several times that it caused items to fall off of our wall, it was truly psycho. The landlord and police talked to him but it didn't help, we created a paper trail but ultimately decided to break our lease early because we had an option of a better neighborhood to move to and were tired of living next to someone who was clearly deeply unwell and unstable. I hope you can sort your situation soon because it really had a big effect on my household and it's an experience we haven't forgotten
And he corrected those loud rude neighbors..I mean at some point people need put in their place man can just let people think they run shit this is what you get people thinking they can come out an hold scissors to someone's neck for complaining about THEM BEING LOUD I will bet that their isn't much noise coming for that apartment anymore why because they learned their lesson
I can only imagine the turmoil that Mom/wife is going through! She is in my prayers
Yes. I actually saw people online blaming her and I was appalled 🤦🏾♀️
@@sistasoujaxtf? How could ppl blame her? She did nothing wrong!
Having 2 people so close to you be so suddenly and violently taken away from you out of nowhere is horrific. Surely. They were probably in the middle of an average mundane daily moment. Terrible.
🙏🏽❤️
She allowed her son to come out and be a part of the dumb shit instead of telling him to go tf inside
The son was trying to actually run arpund and away. And the father was executed. Yes noise sucks. Yes neighbors in apartments suck. But throwing your life away over it? Hell no.
They were both executed, the mother was doing dishes and that's when she heard him banging on the door and had a similar situation before this happened. The guy that did this is psychotic and anyone can buy a gun even if you're mentally ill like cmon now this country is getting worse and worse by the day.
@@mrckzy7220I think he means the son was killed in the heat of the moment. The father was “executed” because of the manner in which the last shot was given (which appeared to execute him).
If we don't have minimum standards in code, it needs to be. Sound transmission between units should be regulated. The noise issue was not the fault of the family upstairs, it was the fault of the building owner who did not properly insulate between apartments. People need to stop blaming their neighbors for the actions of rich a-holes laughing all the way to the bank.
@@mrckzy7220 if you lived in those pressure cooker of apartments, being constantly disturbed by noise, you too would become psychotic.
@@cubiczirconiabeard5366Frkn move, then. Ffs going crazy bc you won't improve your situation is weak sauce.
Double upload?? Hell yes! He’s the criminal lawyer! CLR baby!
I love these videos. Interesting legal analysis along with solid life advice
I love your genuine concern. We don't know the history of these neighbors but this is definitely sad.
Emotional men with the impulsiveness of a silverback
...and nowhere near as high IQ.
That wasn't self defense, the guy was walking away....Granted he had scissors, but his back turned... EDIT, I didn't see the whole video....wow....that was entirely uncalled for.....
I feel bad for the kid's mother. No mom should have to see something like that!
Mom should’ve had enough sense to keep her child from being involved in the confrontation
@@Idontcarejonesy’all love shitting on women any chance y’all get
She started the argument,kept it going then she distracted the husband too which let dude pull out the gun then locked her dying husband out she really the reason for all of it🤦🏽
Mom should have turned the music down
@@Idontcarejones Your right its the moms fault a psycho murdered her whole family, great detective work
All I'll say is, having lived in multiple apartments, there are tenants whose noise is NOT just a one time thing. It happens day in and day out. A constant yapping dog, blasting music, yelling/arguing, banging around.. something. Something that happens again, and again, and again, and again. And again. And again. Is it getting annoying to see the word "again" again? I'm done saying that... or am I? Again, and again, and again. Again. Again. Again.
Surely it has to be annoying dealing with that. Now imagine that same annoying repetitiveness tomorrow. And the next day. And now you hear it right before bed. And right when you wake up. Even if you try and play your own music or turn on the TV you hear it. Over and over and over still. Again and again and again still. You've called your landlord, they can't do anything. You call the cops, they can't do anything.
Eventually, you're gonna start to lose it. I've never gotten violent on someone else in my apartments, or on anyone at all. But one must be able to see how it's possible to lose your mind just enough that there can be that last straw, because your brain is just wrecked and made insane by the constant annoyances that you can't escape in your own home.
This could have been an issue spanning a day. Or days. Or weeks. Or very likely months. Affecting them in their own home. Night after night after night after night after night after night, again and again and again and again. And then... someone snaps.
I'm just trying to illustrate that this may not have been over "nothing." It could be over something that has been ruining the shooters sanity for a long, long time.
You say if it's bad than move, drink scotch or take a walk.
1) Moving right away isn't feasible for many people. Other places may be out of their price range, too far away from where they work, maybe not on a public transportation route. Breaking a lease early can be too expensive with the loss of security deposit and early cancellation fees. It costs money to hire a mover. Maybe they are currently near a relative that they need to help and there's nowhere else close by.
2) Drinking scotch isn't much of an answer. You don't want someone who's annoyed with a gun to DRINK. Scotch is also expensive, maybe they aren't a drinker maybe they are in AA. Maybe they can't drink because they have work soon.
3) Taking a walk may not work because it could be a very dangerous area either because of criminals or there are not good walking options - some areas don't have sidewalks or parks. Maybe it's far too cold or far too hot out to walk. Maybe they just came from work and are far too exhausted to walk. They may have been on their feet all day. And really... doing a walk every time your neighbor is noisy? The noise can last for hours - they're supposed to walk for hours every single day in the freezing cold, late at night, in dangerous conditions... with only HOPE that when they return the neighbors will stop?
Thankful for your lessons and kindness! Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving!!
A double episode evening?!? ❤ Well I’m super impressed and grateful as well 🎉
Ha ! Me too - always a good time! Geriatric grandmother from the streets. Wow
There was an experiment done on mice that put them in small enclosures similar to apartments. The mice had everything they could need, but the expermiment still failed . In the end, the mice ended up tearing each other apart. Humans are not meant to be stacked on top of each other.
I watched a video about that the way they reacted was crazy. They even cliqued up like gangs from projects
@luvmenow33 its pretty brutal. Lemme try and link the video. It really is interesting.
That is a gross over simplification of the experiment and not the conclusion that was reached from it but whatever.
@benstanfill363 I can't do the experiment justice in a youtube comment so i summed it up. This is an introductory video under 10 min. There are longer videos. ua-cam.com/video/5m7X-1V9nOs/v-deo.htmlsi=81eZIlwGPvq93BaN

This was horrifying and heartbreaking. Thank you for breaking it down and thank you for saying what needs to be said. If this makes even one person think twice and a life is saved it's worth every second of this video.
I feel so so bad for that wife and mother. Thank you for sharing this Bruce ❤
And I hope she relives it to remind herself not to try to control a man. She made me so mad and if I knew her I would put posters outside her apt reminding her that her grief is all her fault
@@mmnyla The fault lies entirely with the ego-driven angry male who shot them. She was trying to keep her husband from doing something he would regret, he had scissors to that guy's neck and she was trying to prevent something bad from happening. It's not her fault at all that the shooter couldn't control his anger and ego.
I had very abusive upstairs neighbors that subjected me to at times 13, 14 hours straight of pounding on my ceilings through teenage heel stomping, multiple kids running and jumping so that things fell out of my cabinets. At times my fans and light fixtures moved as if I was in an earthquake zone. And when I would try to speak to the lady she would deny it or else she would rile up and say that I was complaining too much! I complained to everyone that I needed to and no one could help according to laws. When I called the police they stated they could do nothing but just talk to them. After the police left at 1 point I had those kids upstairs marching back and forth for about 8 hours straight as if deliberate.... Apparently downstairs neighbors have no rights!! The situation was so bad that my health was compromised and for some reason all the stress etcetera exacerbated into lupus where my face blew up and looked as if nuclear radiated....... I actually prayed that they would die... So although one does not want to engage in violence when you are subjected to this overt and blatantly deliberate abuse for long length of time, I could understand how a violent act could occur....Maybe you can help me sue for damages...
Appreciate you, Bruce. You're 100% right, as usual. Let's all be safe and remember, the other person's maybe having a bad day... Show kindness, it wins every time.
The uncensored video is horrifying. The poor son bleeding out, slowly slumping off the wall. You can see his execution style shots physically move the bodies. Insane that something like this arises from something so trivial
A neighbor who intentionally plays loud muzak is not something trivial . It is as anti-social as arson. Their noise justifies execution.

Son was damn near 30…like 27. Not sure how he looks 12. Still wrong of course.
@@DrivenA111 sorry. On the video, he looks young
@@Camey71073 I looked again. He does look very young. Maybe he didn’t drink.
It was his step son who was 27.
I love the clips and videos that Michael chooses for you to react and comment on. And you are so personable and witty, yet professional, and offer little nuggets of "take it or leave it" life advice. Genuinely enjoy these videos, guys! ❤_
I laugh out loud every time Bruce makes up a story about his grandma for his eSign ads. "My grandma is doing a geriatric rap circuit.....she's got a warrant because she's not that clean. She's from the streets." 🤣🤣🤣
He likely wanted those guys dead for a while. You can tell by the execution style used on the dad and Kid. Sad
Brooklyn needs to reflect on this occurrence, and yes, I live very near here. 🙏🏼 😢 Life is too precious to be disregarded this way. So very very sad😞 Stay safe out there family.
…..This happens everywhere across the country, and was an isolated incident….
Ikr. Brooklyn?! Ha! Nah, your entire country does, given that it’s the only developed country where gun crime is normal! But it’s all about your individual freedoms, amirite? 🤡
god bless the people of brooklyn my family is from there i love them very much and i sometimes worry if they are in an unsafe area but they say they chillin
Brooklyn is long gone, just pray for your and yours and follow the NY way.
@@YesImfromNewYork Nah, it’s not a Brooklyn thing. It’s your country being a shIthole thing.
I can’t agree more about trying to make someone else smile. A little kindness and courtesy towards other people costs you nothing, and can enrich your life immeasurably. If nothing else it might help lower your blood pressure. ❤
Talking about making someone smile. When I first started at Walmart maybe was 2nd or 3rd year i bought a few packs of kids Valentine cards. Few i put names on that I talked to mostly. Rest i just put my name inside and gave out. There was one older man that always frowned and scared me little ( im very shy back then i barely talked to anyone) i loved everyone even if i didn't trust many people. Still love everyone and dont trust many. Well when i gave the guy a valentine card i swear the room got so bright from his smile. I always heard a smile can brighten up your day. I believed that saying after that. Thank you for this video and hope other people learn anger is not way to settle anything and walk away. Love everyone from Sanford Florida
He would think you were making fun of him with a flower. 😂
I’m absolutely not suggesting that violence is ever the answer in situations like this, but if you’ve ever been the victim of noisy neighbours, it can massively affect your quality of life. If your sleep is continually being disrupted, it’s even more detrimental and debilitating.
It’s not always a matter of "it’s just a little noise"; if you can’t sleep, can’t work (if you wfh), can’t hear your own TV because the disruptive sound levels created by the neighbour are just so excessive, and you can’t even hear yourself think, then *yes,* I can see how people become unhinged. Especially if they’ve tried every possible peaceful avenue to try and get things resolved amicably, and they’ve all been met with indifference or anger.
I’ve no idea how bad the noise was from this neighbour, how rude or dismissive they were, or for how long this dispute had been going, but to blanket minimise just how life ruining noisy neighbours _can_ be is kinda insulting to everyone who’s been a victim of it, and have received little to no help from the authorities when they’ve tried to get some assistance to *please god, just make it stop!* There’s a reason why cruel regimes use noise (and the resultant sleep deprivation) to mentally break political prisoners: because, unfortunately, it’s incredibly effective.
Yes true this is not the first time this been going on for a long time. Communication is key the big guy shouldnt come at him with aggression and the other should have left. In the heat of the moment yu make mistakes. If your neighbour comes to you about noise yu should treat him with respect.
100%. I’m dealing with this rn
The tueller rule which is what you reference is based on how long Tueller, who was a training officer in Utah or something like that, thought it took his guys to draw, aim and effectively fire on target, he thought at minimum it was 1.5 seconds and that's how long you can travel in 21 feet and strike. 21 feet is surprisingly far which is the whole point of the rule, you aren't safe just because the other guy is a few paces away.
Edit: And these are trained officers drawing and firing, if you don't have a gun or aren't trained you just need to know that somebody can cover that distance incredibly quickly and catch you off guard.
This actually shocked me, the way he went on to kill the second person is beyond evil to me
I love hearing your breakdowns. You do it with logic and honesty and I've learned a lot about the law from you, thank you!
I have lived in apartments my entire life, and this is my greatest fear. Either your neighbor is too loud blasting music all night or fighting with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Normally it's the people being asked that turn violent. So, this is a new one. But I've seen people get pretty aggressive, or violent, with neighbor disputes.
Hi Bruce! I watch your series every day if I can. I live in Maine not too far from where the horrific shootings happened in Lewiston. I was waiting for you to make comment about it and was happy to come across your UA-cam video. I appreciate your remarks about guns. And I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching you and you are a very very intelligent man, that’s for sure. Are used to think defense attorneys were without a conscience, defending somebody who everybody thought was guilty. But I can see how you can defend them. Your knowledge of the law is very impressive. Thanks again for providing some entertainment for the 69-year-old Maine woman. I’ve learned a lot from you. Also, I want to say how much I like the relationship that you and your son Michael have. It’s so evident how much you love each other.
Thank you wonderful Content Genius for two videos today.
I live in a really small village in central Sweden, which is seriously only about 1.16 square miles (not the whole municipality, but the actual village) and only has a couple thousand people, and that definitely creates a super-chill and wholesome community.
It is as different from the troublesome areas in New York as you can possibly imagine, and I do believe that those kinds of communities are generally better for people's overall health than really big and densely populated cities;
partly because it is simply a more relaxing environment, and partly because people have a more personal connection to each other, so that they actually recognise each other to some degree.
I seriously always see someone that I either know or at least recognise every single time I go shopping, and that is pretty cool, TBQH.
Thats not a reality that's possible for billions of people.
Hearing you cuss. Is so funny to me. You don't strike me as a cussed. 😅😂 lol
Love your videos! They always have a message. Blunt and straight to the point.
I totally agree, Bruce I believe everybody should try and be nice to one another. I also try to make people laugh and smile every day. Even when I don’t feel great myself, it makes me feel better also. Love your content from Ireland. 👍🏻
Watching him shoot the son who’s going to try and save his dad from being shot absolutely broke me….
Dude who shot definitely isa lose cannon, other dude was walking away with his back turned and then he executed him
You are such a good man. You’re advice is what folks of all ages need to hear right now. You’re genuine and realistic in your advice, you’re cool as hell, and you can connect with people of all walks of life. Using your platform to spit truth while also being hilarious is the best. Thanks for the great content.
😊 here is a smile for you. I appreciate your level head and compassion.
Whatever happened there was longstanding, the way the father brought a scissors and menaced him. Shooter was expecting that. The moral of this story is, DON'T ANNOY YOUR NEIGHBORS. Loud music or yelling or whatever was going on isn't worth what happens next.
Sometimes neighbors think even normal apartment noise is “annoying”.
Wise words as always, Bruce. You, and content genius are the best!
the wife shut the door so he couldn't even try to crawl back in!
She is selfish
shes gonna remember what she did
I am currently living in an apartment complex where I used to be surrounded by obnoxious neighbors that didn't respect apartment quiet hours. I tried talking to one of them 3 times and luckily that miraculously made one of them stop after threatening to call the cops on them and I still have one of them right wall to wall to my bedroom that would have their 10~ year old kid run around the house barefoot and yelling at very improper hours. The parents didn't give a shit when I told them. I can't afford to move and I have problems falling asleep so when it sometimes happens and there is too much noise to sleep at night and it continues in the evening when I try to nap and I'm so tired that I can't function I get very irrationally angry and have to stop myself from escalating. Thank God I don't live in the US where ppl get such easy access to guns because I'm sure there's ppl in my same circumstances that have less self control than I do and we'd definitely have ppl getting hurt. Fucking with someone that is sleep deprived and is not allowed to rest is some of the worst things u can do imo. It's very easy to snap and not give a shit when u can't even function properly. The dude with the gun probably completely lost it after the son was being loud, the parents did nothing and the dad got in his face. Horrible outcome. All it took to prevent it from all parties involved was a little kindness and respect for others.
Sleep deprivation can take a huge toll on the psyche.
Find the old tenant and ask them to move back in...Karen
So, "they have their kid running around barefoot" - like they're telling him to do it.🙄 & they aren't allowed to make noise at night, or in the evening, because you could be trying to take a nap. Really?!? They're in their own home, not in yours, ya know. Maybe invest in some $2 ear plugs or a white noise/sound machine. I mean, some things you just have to deal with when you live in an apartment complex vs. your own home. Thin walls is just one of them.
@@LK-lz6lk When the kid makes noise has nothing to do with me if I'm sleeping or anything since there are rules in place. He's gotta respect the quiet apartment rules from 22:00 to 07:00 and 14:00 to 16:00 for where I live. The mother also walks around barefoot so clearly he's learned it somewhere. They are also not the only variable since there are multiple neighbors that do what they want when they want and unfortunately it sometimes lines up in the same 24 hours at different times. Yes some things you have to deal with when living in an apartment complex unlike when living in a house, like a lower standard of privacy, less space and some noise from time to time as well. What I'm talking about if it wasn't obvious is a disregard for the rules on the regular from multiple ppl.
I completely agree. Many people get off from torturing somebody. They try to destroy your live, to deprive you from sleep and break your social connections by making you angry all the time. Basicly your neighbours say to you "f*** you, you cannot do anything about us.".
My neighbors were unemployed and hammered periodicly every 30 minutes at night against the walls, jumping an the floor etc. The floor was shaking, no earplugs on the world could let me sleep peacefully. I was studying back then and almost failed my exams, lost my friends and family connections because of that bullshit. Rivers cannot judge accurately about the survailence footage, when not beeing in such a situation for years. Self defense is the only thing that can stop such atrocities from happening. You have to physically or financially hurt such neighbors to stop them from infringing upon your rights and to get them out of their sick mentality.
"Cheeto-stained underwear" Bruce is so funny.
Best channel on UA-cam! Bruce & Michael, thanks for what you do.
What a colossal mess! OMG, you're so right, Bruce. All that death, for nothing! So sad for the all loved ones impacted by this.
I've said this for years; we are NOT MADE to live on top of each other in such close proximity. It's just not natural! Damn, this was a sad situation 😢
I agree with you. You can spread kindness and not hate. For years, I have made and gave away jewelry to people I’ve never met in person except on FB or my UA-cam channel. The messages of thanks and blessings makes it all worth while. You can spread Joy and Hope even with a card or note. Love to you and your son!😊❤️
