people covered in tattoos and/or piercings are the human equivalent of aposematism
The first time I encountered this term was someone making a similarly derisive comment about women who dye their hair in unnatural colours (blue, purple, pink etc.), who in my limited experience do tend to be headcases.

We should wait for audio analysis. The timing of the switches being turned off critical. To the precise millisecond.

Same vibes as my series (is three a series?) of "unenviable lives" posts,
I'd really like to see more of this sort of content in the way that you've delivered it. This is how people are and how they live. Many of us didn't grow up in those environments so 'we' need to have more data points like this to see how people really live. I've had a lot of unpleasant experiences (and some pleasant) with the working and underclass, but no one really talks about it in depth.
Separate to this, I think its a disservice how Anthropologists and Sociologists veer away from 'unpleasant truths' in how they present their research.

Until that point, it's manic pixie dreamgirl paradise.
I'm glad you've learned your lesson. I'd never ever fall for this trap.
Very good breakdown. You've zoned in on what I think is the important factor in this event; Song.
My working theory is that he took low value human capital and trained them the best he could for this operation. You can see a sample of his training here.. Those involved acted as could be expected under pressure. Western militaries in the modern age screen for certain negative personality traits after long experience to screen them out. Some of this screening is for mental stability.
Once bullets started flying, this incident went badly very fast. Song may justify all sorts of things in his own mind, but I think there was a very good reason he planned for himself to be in the distant tree line rather than one of the 'distraction makers' in the car park.
