Scary stuff.....So quick...

Extremely quick! Doubt it's their first time either.. The BG's are very calm by the looks of it.

I'm pretty sure they didn't use their legally purchased blue luxury car for this stint.
How many times you hear that these okes are often ex cops or military, or even guys that were involved in civil war.

The guy dealing with the driver obliviously doesnt care about cellphones or things like that, just wanted the guy to comply and get him out of the vehicle with as little fuss as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if other customers or petrol jockeys didnt know what was happening until they pissed off and the old toppie raised the alarm.

I think the old toppie did what was right for that particular event, of course, during that moment it is impossible to know what exactly to do for that event while its happening, and every situation has it's own rulebook. Hopefully these thugs get the long arm of the law.

Agreed. Cars are replaceable, lives are not.

Not trying to be brave or Rambo. Please think with me: the first assailant gives the driver a huge gap by putting his hands and arms into the window. One could theoretically grab his gun hand and start to fight back. If the car was idling even better - just grab the gun hand and floor the pedal. What worries me more is the second armed assailant - would he be willing to take a shot through a window with the chance of hitting his partner?

We were taught this in Krav some years ago however I do think BG number two wouldn't have hesitated to put a few through the back window and into your back.
Very risky but yes I do tend to agree with you that it is not impossible.
The biggest factor I think is whether you have a passenger or not. As when you pull the gun in, you need to tuck it under your left arm, dangerous end is now pointed away from yourself, but possibly directly at your passenger in the front or back seat of the car.

No honor among thieves , if he shot his mate, i bet he would climb into the car and drive off without trying to get his buddy in.

Seen a number of BGs get slotted by their mates. Both accidentally and on purpose. As someone else said, no honour among thieves

Although situational awareness plays a role here too.. Had he noticed and looked at the car pulling in, he'd have had an opportunity to drive off as soon as he saw BG number one getting out their car.
Another point is that I always get out of my car when filling up. Not only to ensure that the petrol attendant puts the correct petrol/diesel in, but I have a far better vantage point being able to see all around me. I always watch entrance/exits of petrol stations while filling up. Do it without thinking these days. Just another day in gangster's paradise.
