What a GD moron. I would imagine he would propose we stop threats with positive waves?
Semi indeed.
It would have taken 4 cops to stop me from going into that school.
Who ever said Peterson was one of the “good guys”? He’s one of Weazel “I’m With Her” Israel’s boys. I’m no conspiracy theorist but I do find it odd that four of his deputies refused to intervene while these murders were being carried out. JMO.
If a guy has a gun and has sworn an oath to use it to protect his fellow citizens and fails to do so, then he is not “good”.
Just responding to the headline - the term good guy refers to people who have courage. It refers to virtue.
A guy who takes a gun and a paycheck promising to use the gun to protect people but doesn’t protect those people when they need the protection, is actually hurting those people. He is on the side of the perpetrator at that point, and is then a bad guy
Add to that that he has deprived the clients of good guy with a gu, in that a good guy with a gun should be the one collecting the paycheck protecting the clients, he is twice bad
Sen. Richard Blumenthal - He’s a vicious snake. Even looks like one.
Contrast the County Deputies’ (in)action with Stephen Willeford’s actions during the Sutherland Springs church shooting. Mr. Willeford was not a sworn peace officer, nor did he have any duty to get involved, yet he armed himself and did what he could. By all accounts he prevented more deaths. Truly a good guy with a gun. Too bad the BSO doesn’t have the same ethos.
Terminal ignorance.
I think you will find the failure to act stemmed from a variety of factors, some uncontrollable (confusion - “fog of war”), but some controllable. I’d like to know if the sheriff’s office has had current and ongoing “active shooter” training for all road patrol, SRO AND Command Staff, and whether their policies/procedures were up-to-date with the most current active threat strategies. I think you will find they weren’t in both cases and possibly that the SO did not issue ARs to all road patrol and SROs, but probably “Select” Deputies that were part of some special response unit. In any case, the failure really falls on the shoulders of the Sheriff and now with the meme that’s out there of it being called the “Coward Sheriff’s Office”, I don’t think Sheriff Israel and his top command staff will stick around too long. It reeks of the need for a leadership change. Just imagine being the leader of one of the largest Sheriff’s Offices in the country (they are in charge of Fire-Rescue in County served areas, too) with the national attention being paid to the abject failures of the department that arguably can be tied to deaths of some, if not all the victims...certainly not a career enhancing moment.

Don’t forget, these are the guys that HAVE the kevlar vests and are legally allowed to be armed to the teeth (but, woah be the pleeb having a 8+ round mag in NY).
FOUR. ‘Highly trained’ (isn’t that the lingo the Left uses?) w/ the gear We can only wish to acquire, waiting outside, behind cover, under long after the shoots had stopped ringing out.
I haven’t read/heard anything about the SWAT team. Anyone w/ more details there?
Blumenthal is the Fake “stolen Valor” BS Combat Vet calling the kettle black.
To be a good guy it takes more than means. It takes
enough courage to act, as well.
Since anything associated with the NRA has just become a thoughtcrime, I think this quote from Orwell’s 1984 is apropos:
“By curtailing frivolous and “fighting” words, the Party seeks to narrow the range of thought altogether, such that eventually, thoughtcrime will be literally impossible.”
The CNN town meeting had everything but the 2 minute hate session, but it came close.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal - the “man” who lied about his military experience. Why would anyone believe anything he has to say?
All it proves is that everyone (patriot) should be armed to the teeth.

(small mod)
All the more reason to arm selected staff who won’t cower in a stairwell like that cowardly lowlife scumbag Scot Peterson did.
One could argue his lack of intervention contributed to the murder.
