A Pennsylvania man is being hailed as a hero for rescuing a neighbor who had been beaten by her ex-boyfriend and held hostage for 20 hours.

Henry Oppenheim told WTAJ that he grabbed his gun after seeing the woman being beaten on the street in Altoona Friday morning.

Police say that the attacker, Henry Yancey, had held the woman, his ex-girlfriend, hostage for 20 hours and that he had beaten her throughout the night, threatened to kill her and stabbed her in the leg.

Well we all know that this must be a line of BS because nobody with a gun EVER does anything right. Just stuff to make the momunists look bad when we know it's either Bush's fault of the Koch brothers.

Yep. All positive uses of guns by citizens are lies because we know that the police will always be there when you need them.

They have that fancy yellow crime scene tape, too, which is awesome.

He won’t spend that much time in jail - just enough to sit and stew and think about what he’ll do to her the next time he gets a hold of her - and he will...

She’ll live in fear - and real danger - for many years. Time for her to get a weapon, gets lots of range time - and take some comprehensive self-defense classes. There’s only one way to be safe...he no longer sucks oxygen.

Too bad he waited for the guy to let her go.

“I told him to let her go. He finally did.”

Should have been a “BANG” between those two sentences.

And the citizen managed to get him stopped w/o taring/beating/stomping/shooting him - no wonder they hate armed citizens....
