ZERO situational awareness. Even with fireworks going off, a gunshot right next to your ear is a completely different sound. You don't even hear the sound usually, you just feel a small concussion and all of a sudden your ears are ringing.
I understand why he didn't see the killer initially, he was focused on his family and the headlights were partially blinding him. The camera flash only brought out the killers from the shadows for that brief instant. But, in my opinion, the family really had no situational awareness to not realize a gun had been fired right next to them.

They are probably more used to knife violence and probably would have been deftly aware of the sound of a switchblade bein flipped, even amongst the cracklin of the fireworks 1/5/2011 10:22:08 AM |

^^ At that close of range, would it have made a difference if they did hear it right away? He'd still be dead 1/5/2011 10:54:09 AM |

Quote : | "Police said Dagsa was shot seconds after the photo was taken and died of wounds by the time he reached hospital. His family gave police the photo, which ran on the Philippine Daily Inquirer's front page.
Caloocan city police chief, Jude Santos, said a man identified as the gunman in the picture was arrested yesterday. His accomplice was arrested in a separate raid in Manila the same day.
Santos said the main suspect was a car thief who was out on bail and likely sought revenge against Dagsa for ordering his arrest last year.
...
The family members said they did not hear a gunshot because the firecrackers were exploding all around them. They only saw Dagsa falling to the ground after he was hit and they rushed him to hospital." |
i thought this was a random carjacking and was feeling gvery sad.
now it's a revenge hit against a public official, and i'm not so sad.
the fact that i'm no longer sad makes me kind of sad.
well, maybe more melancholy than sad
but at least i'm not glad.1/5/2011 6:07:33 PM |

you're telling me that is doesn't make you sad to see a guy get shot in front of his (presumably) mother, wife, and daughter?
cold, man...that's just cold. 1/5/2011 7:43:12 PM |

I never said it would have made a difference. What I said is that they have zero situational awareness.
If one of them had a little bit of it, that may very well have changed the outcome though. Some people constantly scan their environment and those people generally tend to spot threats much more quickly.
