Las Vegas Country Fan Defies Shooter, Flips Him the Bird
This Bud’s for you.

Call it calm in the midst of the storm, call it liquid courage, or perhaps call it downright stupidity, but one Las Vegas concertgoer potentially in the crosshairs of mass murderer Stephen Paddock’s crows-nested automatic rifle wasn’t letting the violent attack spoil his Sunday night buzz.
Amid long spurts of bullets raining down upon the helpless crowd, a man in sideburns and a muscle shirt stood straight up. As the sea of concertgoers huddled together for cover, the man saluted the shooter with his right arm. His left arm—bent at the razorwire tattoo—was occupied supporting his 25-ounce Bud Light Tall Boy. Seemingly devoid of fear, the man stuck out his middle digit and let that defiant statement linger for several seconds, possibly to make sure Paddock—who probably couldn’t have seen the man without a scope trained on him—got the message.
Then an explosion of several rounds of gunfire forced him to return to a lowered position. Even so, as he crouched, he seemed far from intimidated.
To the man who stood in the face of terror and gave it the finger, this Bud’s for you.
For a grimly humorous moment in the midst of the terrible grief of this attack, watch the video above. The man appears at the :57 mark.
