[@qimboslice2836]

1. The career of being a protector, bodyguard, executive Protection specialist, or any person hired to protect another human being is not about guns. Its about all the advance work. The secret service protects the president by doing the advance work, proper planning, having the right agents around and a proper motorcade to surround that vehicle when moving. 2nd. Each of these protectees should've been seated in the back passenger seat, behind a security professional and behind tinted windows. 3rd. These 2 Icons could still be around today if they had security professionals around them and not just big guys with guns..

[@914southside]

@65sg21 well neither of us are in his brain so you don’t know for a fact which he meant to say but at the exact moment he said that he was talking about bullets going through cara into the target and possibly hitting a bystander that has much more to do with trajectory of bullets than trigonometry…..but okay guy who probably did a half ass tour in iraq working on computers I guess we should all just take your expertise as fact

It is easy to say what you would do with 30 years of hindsight, but these artists passed away because they lived inherently dangerous lifestyles. This gentleman’s knowledge would only work to prolong the lives of these artists until they succumbed to their flaws, or matured in spite of the negative influences. Two legends gone way too soon!

[@SeanB-g5z]

Key question would be why would he be separated from his detail!!! at the moment, Suge knight decided to put 2Pac in the car with him without the bodyguard. What would he have done? Would he have a layout that to happen?!! Basically that would’ve been the people choice that was paying him.!!! along with 2Pac obviously agreeing!!! Can you now see the huge dilemma in this situation!!!! I personally would never allow my detail more than 3 feet away from me at any time!!!!!!!! And if I cannot keep control of the situation, and they do not follow my orders, I quit!!!!!!! This is coming from a real professional over 30 years of bodyguarding celebrities Businessman, and even government officials!!

Big should not of been in LA 6 months after PAC was killed period!!! If he needed to be there for business,which he didn’t, he should of been in a bulletproof vehicle and not been going out to parties. I think that Puff knew the risks but he didn’t care and we seen how that turned out. The real issue was between Suge and Puff stemming from the Jake getting killed situation in Atlanta in 1993,I think it was.

The real life Equalizer and John Wick sheesh

[@Eye2Eye24]

If they was following the car they probally rolled up slow and timed it when the car stopped at the red light and than started shooting. At that moment you really have no chance it's so unexpected. What I'm feeling is that wasn't the only car rolling around looking for pac could have been other potential shooters and possibly even the police communicating and working with the killers. If a cop gets paid off to spot pac or communicate with the killers where he is at.

[@iprodigy6723]

In many cases yes, but word is everyone made eye contact at the light for a few moments before the gun went off. So there's at least a moment suge could have made a move. In other cases you're correct as well.

He did light the whole car up. Tupac was hanging out the window and so was an easy target, and bullets do weird stuff when they hit glass or metal. It’s a matter of Occam’s Razor, meaning that the simplest explanation is usually the truth.
