I don't hold it so much against this guy that he white knighted, but that he approached an active, armed and obviously hostile person at point blank range. WTF??? As an ex-Marine and a concealed carry holder, surely you're supposed to know better.
Ex-Marine, crossfitter, crossfit gym owner. His ego wasn't doing him any favors.
It wouldn't surprise me if he had been a commissioned officer in the Marines. Lots of military officers (and non-commissioned officers) start believing that they carry more authority, exude more leadership than they actually have. Whereas their subordinate soldiers follow them only because they have to, and not at all out of conviction. So Captain W. Knight marches right up to an armed, violently dangerous man who has just hurt someone and expects that guy to stop, surrender, and do as he's told because Special Snowflake, Leader of Men Edition told him to. Yeah....about that.
My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. I don't mean to talk shit. I just wish he had the sense to mind his business and not get involved in a violent scenario he did not have to directly get involved in.
