1
What's going on guys?
2
Welcome back to the channel.
3
I've got breaking news for you guys about the SIG Sauer P320 incident
4
that happened a while back at the Air Force Base that killed an airman.
5
Now initial reports told us that the gun went off on its own
6
and everybody expected that from a SIG Sauer P320 because of all the other incidents that's happening around the world, around the country at least,
7
in the last God knows how many years.
8
So this was that perfect another story that, you know what, SIG P320 now killed somebody.
9
initially youtubers were on the internet did a bunch of videos
10
on this basically everybody attacked sig me over at the classic firearms obviously i try to stay away from that
11
because i wanted to get some of the facts right as a former investigator myself i just don't want to jump
12
into stuff without having fully facts in my hand to be fair
13
and some people like that some people don't like that
14
but it is what it is anyways then later on it came out
15
that investigators actually made an arrest uh white allen the other soldier basically was arrested for manslaughter manslaughter means
16
you cause the death of somebody in an unintentional way
17
because you got your first degree murder
18
which is like premeditated
19
you plan on it whatever the second degree murder just kind
20
of happens on the spot kind of in those neighborhoods i'm not an attorney and then
21
manslaughter's change uh when you don't intend to
22
so in this case that's what happened we didn't have all the details
23
but that was a charge and then we had obstruction of justice charges
24
which immediately told me that somebody lied deliberately lied to the investigators
25
which is a horrible thing it's a felony
26
and now the reports came out guys today just about 20 minutes ago
27
i saw this on the internet on cbs news i believe here's the actual incident
28
so the uh other the airman
29
that lost his life he's sitting at the desk white allen
30
the suspect grabs the m18 p320 points at this victim
31
and plays a game they're just like kind of screwing around
32
and then he presses the trigger and he mistakenly shoots
33
and kills the victim then from there there are two other airmans over
34
that they didn't see the incident allegedly they but they were just outside
35
when they heard the bang they walk inside they see the victim on the ground
36
and white allen uh the last name of this soldier says hey help me uh cover this up
37
so he tells one of those soldiers
38
that hey you know the the gun kind of like he slammed the gun on the uh desk
39
and the gun just went off on its own
40
and the other soldier basically something similar and these soldiers how dumb they are absolutely dumb.
41
Don't freaking lie to the investigators, man.
42
It's horrible, especially for that.
43
Somebody screwed around and somebody died.
44
Are you kidding me?
45
You're going to lie for that?
46
Anyways, goes and tells the investigators that.
47
So obviously that misleads the investigators, but they actually get to the bottom of it.
48
Now, White Allen is definitely going in for manslaughter and obstruction of justice.
49
And the other two folks got the obstruction of justice charges.
50
One of them got 30 days in jail
51
and the other one got 10 days in jail i still don't know the details of this nobody does
52
but at least we've got that much information this goes to show guys
53
when we hear something on the internet i've been saying
54
this for years over at classic firearms now at my on my personal channel
55
which i'll be continuing to saying this
56
and my other channels
57
i've been talking about this for years to my audience my followers do not just jump to conclusions right away
58
you can have your opinions
59
but don't jump to any conclusion until you have some facts in your hand
60
and not some youtuber talking about it not some me
61
or other folks just talking about it get some facts in your hand
62
and then you can come to a conclusion
63
but you hear a sig p320 going
64
and i'm not obviously supposed to be fair over here
65
you see a gun going off like oh my god sig
66
just went off on its own what hold on a second
67
do you know anything about the case were you there
68
or you just heard from joe schmuck just talking about this
69
was the gun modified what happened like we need to know
70
more in the airman's incident as soon as i heard
71
it guys i heard it like within one second
72
i was like there is something else going on here i am not buying this
73
because apparently there are no witnesses just some guys in there oh gun went off nope nope i'm not buying
74
that guys not me i'm not sheep like that
75
and i highly recommend you guys aren't being like that too just get some facts in order ask questions
76
Don't get me wrong.
77
Ask freaking questions.
78
No matter how ridiculous, ask questions.
79
Just don't come to a conclusion.
80
So this video, basically, I mean, this incident proves that, hey, you know what?
81
Maybe we need to hit the brakes and get some facts in order.
82
So anyways, in this case, P320 had nothing to do with this.
83
And I don't know what SIG is going to do about this, but I suspect SIG definitely got some damages big time on this.
84
And I don't know if they're going to sue anybody for this incident, but we'll see.
85
That's it, guys and I'm on my way to do a training event here.
86
That's why I'm in my car, but I wanted to do this video for you guys.
87
Thanks a lot for tuning in.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
