Azariachan yes! always thinking of his family first

So glad it wasn't his writing hand that got blasted. P.S. he wasn't dying

Azariachan IKR?

Azariachan yeah and yet the police botched or wouldn’t do anything for the investigation. What kind of reason could they have to leave out of the police log in the paper that a man, a police officer even, was shot? I’m glad the cops seem to at least be trying to protect his family though. So sad..

Azaruachan: Yeah exactly and he even did it two times,ones in the car and at the hospital 🤔😯❤

Called building suspense in a production

Not very smart are you?

Jo Pearson it’s got nothing to do with intelligence....it’s building a false pretences...which is what I find odd! Just tell the story how it is!

my desire I’m well aware of what they’re doing but I personally find it odd...no need to build suspense just tell the freaking story as it was! 🙄🙄🙄

It's a rather cheap production trick to be misleading like that; you can question the shameless absurdity of it and still understand why it was done. It can be called odd, but really just seemed pretty disingenuious

My heart literally stopped when they covered his injuries and I was waiting for that confirmation that he had died, and then when he appeared on screen I literally gasped. I am so glad this family made it.

Mass General is one of the best hospitals in THE WORLD, not just our state. They saved my life last year; i should've died, twice, and my cardiac surgeon Dr. Langer gave me a second lease on life. Love that guy, he's a peach, too (& pretty cute 😂)!!!

Yes! That is some truly impressive reconstruction work right there! Not difficult to understand at all, but maybe it's difficult for him to speak this clearly if he has to speak more than a couple of sentences...

I thought the same, I understood everything he said just fine.

@@TheLazyGamer91 He had a voiceover talking for him.

And the uncle who assembled the gun 😭😭

So incredible strong

Right?!!!! This one had me on the edge the entire time…thank GOD that entire family had the strength and will to survive

Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing!

Kay Rod i see why it's a fine thin blue line now!

Brandon- Common enemy? Speak for yourself.

I'm not a cop. I rent cars for a living. And if a maniac came in and had a gun and we couldn't get away, and someone I worked with got hurt like that I would stop at nothing to make sure they were compensated and understood that they are a part of my life, even if that process took years. I'm the manager. I'm in charge. I freaking owe them something...

@Brandon Hart who's the common enemy ?

@@75marklee whoever it is at that moment in time: I-SIS, Russia, China, Korea, etc...

I thought it was weird that he said they wanted to use a voice over, but he said these are his words and this is his story...then they used a voice over anyway!

@@amorrissey9264 no he said. "Someone is going to do a voice over for me, I'm a little hard to understand. " Then he says "but these are my words and this is my story."

@@amandarios448 you are correct.

Me too! I felt so bad for him because he was very understandable but he must have felt embarrassed maybe which is so wrong he should beam with pride!

Same

Sameeeeee here....i thought he was dead in the beginning 😭😭😭

Me too

SAME🥺

You yelled?

The title "Live to Tell" that was flashed many times in the first 10 minutes didn't clue you in?

Me too. Cried like he was my own family. 🤦🏻‍♀️ so thrilled.

Me toooo. I burst out crying and my hubby got spooked lol

Me too. Was so happy he made it!

I love you❤❤ Lila imas

Sarah Kibler i’m in tears at how funny this is, honestly funniest thing i’ve ever read thank you for that.

Hahahahahaaa, very funny and so true... :D

peak comedy achieved we did it reddit!

Yup.

You're right about that. That's a real man, right there.

Heroes die, masters live to tell

@@PianoGesang He's a master hero, then.

AGREE!! 👍💯

A real parent in general

Yeah. That department was either filled with cowards, or corrupt leaders. I'm leaning towards the latter. Sickening stuff.

Strongly agree 💯. Despicable.

@@e.sterling141both. it can be both.

​@@e.sterling141but why can't it be both though?

@@tropistan7735 I suppose it could.

You didn’t hear him. He said they used voice over.

@@JMD621 um yes I did. He spoke the very first time he came on, saying that they were going to use a voice over but, they were his words.

@@JMD621 ahhh I see you said "he said". 👀

Uhm he’s still alive

@@ohhemmgeeitsjeetirest easy, not rest in peace. They aren’t saying he’s dead.

Maddie same 😂😂 like they were knocking on my door haha

My mom knocked on my door and I freaked out

Same

same im just not good with this stuff in general yet im still watching this

Same here! They just kept doing it, lol.

she’s a real one

Badass!!

I am pleased you have found peace at last

They should have never been in that house knowing how that guy was.

Bobby Jones hope you don’t have kids 🤦🏼‍♀️

Amen 🙏

Yea I read that story

A woman of valor!

An actually strong woman. If this happened in 2021, she would have cheated and divorced him

@@Walamonga1313 Nope my family and I have been going through something similar from 98-2013 and I did none of the things you mentioned on the contrary I was by my husband's side allso as it was very dangerous But you are right, many forget the words for Better or worse etc. As they said yes to when they chose to get married

@@christina1764 Well that's great and I commend your family for it

Kind of the best surprise ever! So happy for this unexpected plot twist!

xNikNaks so am I

I looked for this comment .. so glad he survived but add spoiler alert bruh 😂😂

Thanx for the spoiler...

@@maka1685 Same

It’s truly amazing to witness. Revenge and hatred is heavy to carry around. Happy he and his wife walked away and chose freedom. God always has the last say…in this life or the next. Beautiful family.

I wished that he could have shot Melvin but I'm so glad he didn't. Revenge is never the answer and killing that horrible man wouldn't be worth spending the rest of his life in prison. It would have caused his family even more intense pain.

Heneeded to be there for his family

I wouldn't have stopped myself.

The thing is, had he done that, no doubt someone would have come after his family in TN. They had found a form of peace there. He made the right decision.

@@lele35md Yooo i would marry a man who will protect me :u

Seems like u don't have a family to work with.

J M Sorry?

Throw communists out of helicopters dont throw communists out of helicopters!

@@fynntasticmovienight oops already did it

tru

The is very true

Yeah

Mhm

Got to give u a sub for that.

The voiceover was someone else's voice. He communicates by writing notes (like when he told the uncle he didn't want the gun)

@@RosalieF1 He talks at 25:55

Nice story, but I didn't burst into tears

​@RosalieF1 He did talk when he introduced himself, then the voice-over told his story.

Love eating, I 2nd that!

Yes they did, it’s so sad that anyone has the manipulative power to put such fear into a police force and town that it paralyzes them. I hope there wasn’t law enforcement being paid off to avoid investigating and prosecuting these crimes.

Worst kind of crime

@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 someone deleted the police log entry before the paper was even printed with the previous day's police activity. Someone "paid" to have that entry removed. Shouldn't even be a question. The cops were being bribed by these criminals and they lived in fear along with John Busby. Cannot imagine their life on the run. Happy they now have some peace. Although brothers were never mentioned throughout the entire video, which I find a little strange. Sis never really talks about the except in general, when they all had to go into and hide in the attic. **Never watched a 48 hours #livetotell episode prior, this was well done. But I want to know more...... to know they are all truly happy, and still support each other.

I was 13 when this happened, we had no internet for news to go viral. You got your 30 or 60 minute news on TV, what they chose to show you on any given day. Can't imagine someone NOT stopping a criminal like this today. The sheer number of suspected fires alone should have had him off the street. Appreciative of all I have, and the protected rights to live a free life.

Hello, how are you doing?

Yes wasn't she amazing...and still is. Xoxoxo to you sweetie. Thanks for that reminder of her heroics. Peace and BLESSING to you.

@@derricksmith2948 thankyou.. i needed some peace and blessings.. God bless you too..

That’s exactly what I told my husband, that girl have nuts! So brave

@@mariasalas3888 And she became a gorgeous woman too

Da whole damn family is a perfect definition of heroism

she's amazing.

Literally was prepared to die for her younger cousins

That's what I thought too.

Yes amazing fearless selfless woman

Plus she was just a kid too

Yes I was 😉😊🥰

🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

John Chan OMIGAWD YES!!😩

Yessss!!!!!

I came to the comments because I HAD to know!!! That just made me extremely happy 😆!!!

That was my exact thought

Me too😆

I was like noooo!!! It’s a trap!!

Exactly

I thought the exact same!

People get murdered all the time so i dont think so

@@Walter-white891 But sometimes s story is amazing and worth telling, even just John surviving was amazing and a story worth telling

Yeah they probably going to put it life like they always do

Unless a family member writes the story and options it to a film company they won't get paid for it.

its a show ....

Truth.

life of lovely malyah "For those kids"? She was only one or two years older than them. She was very brave and loving.

You Remind Me of the Babe okay Literal McLiteralstein

Aldo the Apache I guess you don't know the difference between a child and a young adult. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a shame.

She was no "GANGSTA", that would be an insult. 🙄 And she was also a kid herself. She was just a badass. A brave badass young lady. She was watching over younger ones. Acting like a momma bear, but only few years older than them. 😎Badass.

Theres an argument against the value of extended family?

@@ispartacus1337 depends on the extended family....

@@ispartacus1337 Well, the Marxists have been trying to destroy the family for over a hundred years. But, no, they have no sincere arguments, only hatred, madness, and lies.

True

It would make a terrible movie because the dad just rolls over and lets a criminal dominate his whole life. No revenge. No retribution. It would be frustrating and unwatchable.

@@DavidHarrisActor There are more kind of movies then just action movies. As a drama or thriller it would work well.

That is a capital idea. Maybe the cop(s) on the take might be identified too. In a way they are equally guilty.

They can’t do it to everyone so no

Amen👍👏💞

Jim A shut up troll

@@anonymousgamer3509 whoever was trolling they've since deleted their comment.

Absolutely....Amen....what an incredible strong man and family !!!

I admire this entire family.

😂Lol me at that part

Wonderful story! One of the crime story that has a satisfactory ending. Great guy, dad and mom, daughter and cousin. How come the two boys weren’t in the film? :-)

I thought he spoke very well.

He does have a big beard though .. and can't speak :(

@@RosalieF1 the beard is most likely hiding the scars left behind from the attack

@@RosalieF1 we heard him speak! And actually I thought the injuries would be much worst visually speaking specially considering the year it happened.

Yeah, except for his speech may be. I keep looking at where?

Alexa omg sameeeeeeeee

teresa rangel well to be fair that’s what they did to this man. They turned their head and said “nope don’t have any idea who would do such a thing to John” Eye for an eye 👎 you’re no better than Melvin when you do the exact same thing Put him in maximum security prison for life.

Anna shut up

@Xganics because @anna has an intellectually valid point? Can't have that! Yeah yeah, I'll say it for you, 'stfu'. 😫😁

Stfu Anna.

teresa rangel Me too

Policajt23 - Amen. Took amazing strength to walk away from revenge!

I would have taken it. Who would have prosecuted? Everyone feared the guy. He would be dead, so no more worries.

Policajt23 Illegal is what is against the law. Men make law as a collective, man may break the law in person when upholding the law is unbearable to him.

I really smiled at that. Like let's go get em nephew.

No they don't! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Tru that girl.

Women who stayed by his side when times get tuff “they don’t come like that much anymore”

@@blondieandinunya9806 wow...she actually reminds me of my mother

snakeufaceu why wouldn’t she? She would be in danger anyway

Bloxburg tips :3 i mean people are different and some decide to abandon their families when the situation gets sticky or uncomfortable or hurtful for them

Right ✅️

That's exactly what I was commenting. If I had been that cousin I would not have trusted that guy at all. I wouldn't have even gone to the window. I would have grabbed the phone and tried calling the police.

Itz -Gracie unless the knocking is on your door 😱😱😱

Vix 30 scaryyy

Itz -Gracie SAME

It's not safe it's not safe it's not safe it's not safe

What knocking o didn't hear that, must have been your door aaaahhhhhh

Cornflack my dad

With that beard he reminded me of a Paul Bunyan type guy. And with how he looked after his family, and how the police, at least gave them that 24hr guarded protection, even for his kids in school, I would say this is one guy who has his heart in the right place.

Reminds me of my dad, my dad was killed 2 months before my birth, he told my mother to name me Shyanna, he died saving a little girl from a monster who had already raped her, and then tried killing her, my dad jumped in the way and was shot straight in the heart, thankfully other officers were around to rescue the little girl and capture the man. I wish I had gotten to know him.

Cornflack I was shot and I don’t get any recognition😤😤jk my case was open and closed very quickly and not as scary as this haha.

@@violetxbearbear60 I don't have a clue who you are or if your story is correct,but if it is,I am really sorry.I'm not religious but I wouldn't be surprised if your dad is watching over you.Somehow,somewhere...(And your mum) I've met some real evil ppl.There are far too many of them & they're all over,in North America,Arabia, Asia,North Africa & every corner of Europe too.(Grew up in North West Eu(Basically Scandinavia,the UK,Germany,the Benelux,was in a cult+)But I concider myself somewhat lucky since I've also happened to meet/know quite a few, but very good ppl too.The evil ppl.I talk about are narcissistic, sosiopaths,psychopaths,they're dealing with Munchousen by proxy etc.Some of the so-called good ppl.I happened to come across have just turned up,then next minute or so,well they simply just vanished.I never got to thank those ppl.They made me wanna go on with my life.Your dad must've been one of these so called"angels in disguise"ppl.Not being crazy,but from my own experiences my gut tells me there are more between heaven and earth than what meets the eye.You r dad is with you.He could be your guardian angel,who knows..What you probably do know though is that he will always be in your💗A dear one never walks away. Wherever you go,whatever you do he will be there.Most likely the way you(And the lady he loved)prefer.Because there are ppl. who knows how to care.I strongly believe that's one of the reasons why I'm still down here.The story about John & his family upsets me,it's truly heartbreaking....His family didn't desvere any of it, nor did he.The Marvlin guy lived for 74 yrs,nearly my age x 2,which I concider far too long for being such a horrible person.The police didn't serve the family any justice either.Still believe in Karma though.John & his precious family turns out to be the winning team after all at the end of the day.💞

Well said my dear x I like ur profile picture btw 😍😍

Yes, a "good" woman is a very rare find. Very valuable, indeed.

weird not sure if it's the cold or what (it is snowing outside) but your words gave me chills. Beautiful Avalon Park

The truth is that it is hard to find a good man or a good woman. Both are elusive.

Incredible woman. Like my mom, who raised and cared for her baby boy, who was severely disabled from birth 1984 thru death 2007. She took _immaculate_ care of him, and went through SO MUCH. My dad wanted to put my brother in a home, he never would've lived and had the love he got if that happened he wasn't supposed to live to be 1 year old and he made it to 22. There should be awards for people like his wife, and my mom.

honestly, I don't understand why they don't sue the hell out of that town.

We have laws, you know? You can't just point and say, hey that is a bad guy, he needs to be in jail. No matter how true, you need to follow due process. Otherwise INNOCENT people will end up in jail too. If he had been killed, there would be no statute. The truth is, they had a better family life then most people. Certainly better then mine. My parents were bastards. If someone shot them, i probably would have celebrated. So don't make this more then it is.

Marina Doshkevich I dont care how much time passes after a crime, the person should still be accountable for that crime. this "law" lets them get away with it if enough time passes and that's just not right.

Marina Doshkevich he's a freaking arsenest 😠 he could set his freaking prison on freaking freaking fire

He's dead now!
