[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe his story, but he should not have kept sitting on him in that manner so he couldn’t breathe for so long. It’s crazy the security didn’t get security there faster. Did the hotel employee not have a cell phone or walk-in talkie? They were only 100 yards from the pool. To be fair I could see hapgood being in shock and being scared to get up or scared that if he lets loose at all the two might gang up on him or the robber might fight back more. [/quote]

I am not sure I believe all of it but[b] I do believe he panicked fairly quickly. Maybe Kenny had a knife, maybe he was slurring his words, and Scott’s mind raced to worse case scenario and he panicked and then eventually  went into shock. He doesn’t look like the kind of guy who is ever going to want to admit being scared, panicking and making poor choices. [/b]I don’t think he suffocated but yes I can believe the hit to the head and been a bit drugged up, and the not receiving the right kind of emergency care all contributed to the death. If he hit his head, he could have had a small brain bleed that went undetected for example.[/quote]

Completely agree. These are people who have always lived within a bubble of extreme privilege and safety. I can only imagine the panic, confusion, and adrenaline he must have felt in this scenario, and there's no way he was thinking through any consequences beyond what would happen if he didn't keep Kenny restrained. It's very easy to hate on the Hapgoods, especially when Trump's tweeting about them, Kallie's on Fox and Friends, and their friends' idea of rallying around them is to talk trash about an entire country. But 100% think he acted on instinct, was only concerned with protecting his family, and shouldn't be punished for it.[/quote]

OK but why not just hold his head and arms down etc. Why sit on his chest? Why not sit on his stomach and hold down his shoulders etc?

I think he didn't want the guy to talk. Apparently Kenny asked if he could say something. The security person kept saying get off his chest and Scott kept refusing. This went back and forth for 10 minutes which seems bizarre.

Kenny was about to explain that Scott asked him to come to his room to sell him drugs or something like that.
