This man is a National Treasure. A knowledge fountain, and just a well rounded, intelligent individual. This man gets, and rightfully deserves, a lot of respect. Perfectly articulate and concise.
I often change my opinion about stories like this after listening to Massad calmly and clearly bring reason, logic and facts to his well written presentation. Grateful.
I am proud to call Massad Ayoob friend, My late Father really admired him as do I. Massad Ayoobs books are an important read for anyone defending themselves against attack. A great education. **"In the gravest extreme."** If You wish to avoid Prison time.
That's the first book I read when I started to carry! As far as people like Aubrey... this was an unfortunate event... but I still believe we have to do something about these idiots... the law is broken and not effective anymore! When feckless people allow our society to be overrun by criminals we have to do something 😒
I still remember two distinct things my TBI firearms instructor told us in a carry class. Just because you are armed doesn’t make you the police. You can use your weapon in your defense or the defense of loved ones or innocents but otherwise stay out of the conflict. The other thing was if you instigated a fight, you cannot use your weapon even if the fight starts to go bad for you. Anti gunners don’t understand that we leave the house armed, the very last thing we want is to get into a conflict. No bird flipping, no yelling and cussing. Since we are armed the results could be fatal. In that respect we are the safest people in the country.
Those of us with a sense of ethical and lawful responsibility, anyhow. Can’t say the same for every person who leaves the house with a pistol tucked into their waistband.
@Bruce Day, I just had this discussion with a friend. But in the end, you must wisely and tactically judge each situation on its urgency and its merits.
If you take on the responsibility to carry a gun. You must do everything in your power to not get in a fight. It is an absolute last resort to pull that firearm.
I started reading Massad's articles in magazines and books back in 1978 when I was 14. I learned so much over those formative years from him and Jeff Cooper. Thanks for everything over the years.
I remember hearing about this case when it was in the news but I was not aware of all of the facts (the racially changed social media posts, the comment about shooting the deceased's head off etc). Thank you for filling in some of those blanks. Even though I didn't know EVERYTHING about the case back then I still knew it was foolish to grab a weapon and chase someone down over property crimes. As you said, don't be the aggressor, just call the authorities and let them handle it.
A few months ago, a man who was seen on numerous home surveillance cameras in my neighborhood, and a known burglar, walked by my house at dusk, while I was watering my front yard. I called law enforcement, and they caught him a few hours later. My neighbor gave me a hard time, and asked me why I didn't shoot him. Let law enforcement do their job. It took dozens of officers, dogs, and helicopters to get the guy.
Sean Omeirs - you did exactly the right thing. You can't use deadly force unless you (or some innocent) are at imminent risk of serious bodily injury or death. If you shot someone for being a *suspect* in burglary - the you would certainly face murder charges. M.Ayoobs other vids cover this.
@@stevealexander8010 Thanks. I'm shocked at the behavior of neighbors, who are otherwise good neighbors, when they think that they can take the law into their own hands. This guy was carrying an AK at his side when he walked past me. I don't know if he knew I was was there, but he didn't threaten me. I don't want a bunch of drunk LARPers, sending bullets into the neighborhood. There are a lot of new gun owners who haven't thought about the responsibility of using their weapons without the proper training and mindset. It's taken me 45 years to know what I know, and there is always more that I am willing to learn.
@@seanomeirs8362 I think it's partly ignorance. Ppl haven't really thought about it. Of course the time to think is BEFORE you act foolishly. I learned some in a concealed carry course & some online matter, but Ayood has a great vid where he discusses 'Black's law, and it's meaning.
@@zoticus1 He wad identified on many home security cameras committing burglaries, and he hadn't harmed anyone physically. He had however stolen firearms, and he was carrying an AK, when he walked past my house at night.
Dear Mr. Ayoob Your book " In the gravest extreme" is a must read for any firearm owner. Thank you sir. The advice contained is the gold standard of self defense. 🛡️
Back when I was training new carriers, I wouldn't sit down with them unless they'd read "In The Gravest Extreme". Just wouldn't begin, that book raises questions about why, and the beginning of the sit down we had to start talking about why. NOT What ifs
Excellent layout as usual. I've been reading your article voraciously for decades. This is a case in what you absolutely SHOULD NOT do in any similar circumstances.
Yes, particularly the DA who wants to throw the rest of your life away so he can run for higher office. The DA in the Rittenhouse trial is a crooked liar, as we all saw.
ESPECIALLY the kinds of people you might have to defend yourself or others from. There's damn good reasons that the cops are the way they are. And they still manage, most of the time, to be reasonably courteous to citizens who offer courtesy in return.
Spoken like a true licker of boot. The law is laughable in this regard and should be ignored, repealed and never enforced again. This is no different than waiting for the police to come and save you. Avoid what you can, finish what you can. This consistent need for self defense advocates wanting to walk a legal tightrope is getting fucking retarded.
I want to take a second and thank you for your insight and sharing what you've learned. I find it very sound, and valuable instruction. You're making me a much safer firearms handler. Thank you.
I continue to be impressed by this series that WC sponsors. Especially when it comes to dissecting the legalities, ramifications, and usage of firearms in actual events. Don't be the aggressor is a very fitting title and takeaway for this tragic, and very preventable event. Sounds like Mr. Ayoob has plenty of material for a Volume II to "In The Gravest Extreme", which is prominently placed on my bookshelf.
Yes, a special grand jury chose not to indict, but to me Mr. Carruth (even if not guilty of murder/manslaughter due to subsequent actions of Chad Read) committed, at a minimum assault or disturbing the peace etc... and was not justified in shooting Mr. Read in my opinion.
@@wheelguns4wheelmen802 Mr Carruth is exactly the kind of person that shouldn’t be allowed to own firearms. Small man syndrome feels like a tough guy with a firearm 👶😈
Alternatively, Mr. Read should not have closed the distance and provoked an armed person. Most reasonable people would not challenge someone that is rightfully on their property, and you were asked to leave. I think Mr. Carruth was justified once Mr. Read closed the distance. It showed that they were dealing with an unreasonable, even crazy, individual. Either way, sad loss of life that didn't need to be.

Thank you, Massad. I’ve been a student of yours for decades. Today, every move one makes; every breath one takes is monitored and likely recorded. Personal mental, emotional and physical expression MUST be pre calculated and ETHICALLY motivated. Otherwise one will find themselves in deep doo-doo.
You're helping people so much, thanks! Almost all Hollywood shows, that have guns, will have someone point a gun at someone else for almost no reason. It has to stop. People think that's ok, but then they go to prison. Hollywood is super toxic and anti gun.
@@patrickbly4170 I really don't think video games harm people. But I hate it when Hollywood shows people casually pointing guns at people for the stupidest reasons, like it's not super illegal or threatening or wrong in every way. Then the other person acts like it was no big deal. I knew of a guy who went to jail for many years for firing a warning shot, even though he should have shot the predatory person.
Video games do have a harmful impact. The innocent video games most illude to are called simulators by our military. Used for training. They definitely affect the minds of some youth.
@@jhask64 Those youth are damaged by bad culture or upbringing or genetics. They're the type who can't handle heavy metal, rap, r rated movies, stories, rejection from a girl, etc. I've played violent video games where you can do whatever you want, they're not bad. Blaming the games is weak and it shirks responsibility, and what's the solution? Ban them? That makes things worse.
Once again I'm humble to learn this is an awesome channel that you tell it like it is don't be the victim of the criminals out there by making wrong choices I love it
I followed this case via television when it first came out and took interest in all the media had to offer until I learned how it turned out. As with the Rittenhouse case and the Castile case, I learned elements here that no one covered back when it was going on (in this case, I had no idea all this time that Arbery had a criminal record and those things make a difference to me). Ayoob enlightens once again, and while other RUclipsrs can enlighten, Ayoob's wisdom can keep people out of trouble, out of jail, and best of all - alive and free. Thank you once again, Mr. Ayoob! Ever your appreciative fan, Purr. =)
How does his criminal record make a difference? It’s hindsight. Those men would have never known. If it wasn’t for there foolish actions we still would not know.
@@PurrsPlace he was an innocent jogger. He did not commit any crime. He had a past. That was his past. Them knowing he had a past would have more than likely fueled their vigilante actions. Altering your view and have seemingly as much compassion for the three men that caused his death intentionally is interesting. I say intentionally because if you draw a firearm your intent should be to kill. Basic firearm safety rules. Was your view altered when you learned of the three mens white supremacist views towards black people?
@@PurrsPlace what you said was valid. Just not valid for this event/scenario. How and why? Simple. These three men knew nothing about arbery. You’re viewing from a lens of hindsight and passing judgment on arbery. If you saw him on the street you would never know his history. Thus having a tainted view in itself is tainted because you learned of the facts afterwards. That shows a bias against arbery because of his past. I asked about your perception of the three men after learning that they publicly share white supremacist views from their past and received no direct answer. My perspective is to neutralize the threat. Apparently we cannot all get along. I only wish it was that easy.
Great job sorting things out here; any loss of life is regrettable but we also have to acknowledge differences in circumstances. These are great reminders to think through actions before we take them.
I like many others hate the idea of having to defend ourselves. But there is always that chance today, that regardless to what we want, we could be facing that situation. I joined United Citizens Defense Network yesterday, in hope that, I will never need their services, but it is because of you and your videos, that gives me the confidence, if needed and to become a member, over buying insurance, because of your support and involvement of that organization. Thanks for your videos and the wisdom you have been sharing will all of us, that just want to defend ourselves and our families, if need be. Again, Thanks!!
I am glad to see someone explain the difference between these 2 cases. And use what the law is when it is applied ,both in the lawful way and what some precise as lawful. This should give the viewer a much cleared answer . Especially if they are put in similar situations.. keep up the good fact and teaching to the viewers and educate them.
Great Job of breaking this down. One could write several books using this case as a template. Man , you really bring these things to relevant legal perspective.
My brain had simply glossed over the original pursuit as having an error. You have brought a thankful clarity to the event. To provoke further conversation about the Rittenhouse saga. . . To date Gaige Grosskruetz has yet to be charged with attempted murder. . . Thoughts?

Thank you so much for clearly presenting the totality of each situation and logically dissecting it thoroughly to help us all stay safe and on the right side of the law. It is vital to think these types of situations through while we can logically so that we react appropriately when the adrenaline is coursing. Thank you again!
This legend delivers such a concise and accurate portrayal of the facts with all the gravitas of the late great Robert mitchum, keeping subjective in what could be considered controversial subjects, whilst remaining calm, professional and precise, a pleasure to listen to, many thanks
No surprise there, really. The wonderfully 'objective' media in this country typically only show the juicy parts of a given video.. to rile up and turn the public against each other while boosting the ratings of the media at the same time. Rodney King, anyone? Mas has spoken about that incident as well.
@@nmr3352 Remember they made Zimmerman out to be white in his pictures and during coverage of the story. The media targets whites and convinces non-whites to target whites also.
Yes....I was hoping he would touch on that incident in tonight's vid...I did make a request to Mr. Ayoob in an earlier comment for the same...I hope he will.
Thanks for the wisdom that you are sharing. There is a lot of responsibility carrying a firearm and to those that do not have a law enforcement background, your knowledge is a "Must" to share.

If one man should be a professor of gun education it's Massad. Much respect for this man
Massad Ayoob & Jeff Cooper, and Elmer Keith, The Three Men I admire most.
And Dan Johnson, of Guns & Ammo....
Massad's books are excellent too👍
Why cause he was a pig?

It is vital to think these types of situations through while we can logically so that we react appropriately when the adrenaline is coursing. Thank you again!
Great presentation as always.
Thanks again!
OUTSTANDING.
tHANK YOU FOR THE FACTUAL ADVICE!
Well explained. Thank you
You are welcome!
Good analysis of the two incidents. Great advice to NOT be the instigator or aggressor.
This legend delivers such a concise and accurate portrayal of the facts with all the gravitas of the late great Robert mitchum, keeping subjective in what could be considered controversial subjects, whilst remaining calm, professional and precise, a pleasure to listen to, many thanks
When I read Massads book where he described the Zimmerman case in Sanford FL I was amazed how much of the story was hidden from the public.
Okay, now I want to read that book. I knew that Zimmerman was assassinated by the liberal media but learning what Mas had to say would be great.
No surprise there, really.
The wonderfully 'objective' media in this country typically only show the juicy parts of a given video.. to rile up and turn the public against each other while boosting the ratings of the media at the same time.
Rodney King, anyone? Mas has spoken about that incident as well.
@@nmr3352 Remember they made Zimmerman out to be white in his pictures and during coverage of the story. The media targets whites and convinces non-whites to target whites also.
What's the book called?

your assessment of Uvalde, Texas
Yes....I was hoping he would touch on that incident in tonight's vid...I did make a request to Mr. Ayoob in an earlier comment for the same...I hope he will.
You should have this talk with 90% of law enforcement officers. The love to escalate situations thinking that they are superior to the citizens
He wont. He’s an ex-cop and will defend them as they all defend each other in the face of crimes and cruelty.
American police are really just the sixth family of the Mafia.
Except that LEOs literally do have legal authority that non-LEOs don’t.
Another l ibtard.
Knowledge is well received!!
Glad to hear that!
Great explanation
Always a treat to hear you sir. 🙏
Thanks for the wisdom that you are sharing. There is a lot of responsibility carrying a firearm and to those that do not have a law enforcement background, your knowledge is a "Must" to share.
