>>Duke, a large, heavyset man, got angry, turned around, and she fell to the floor and board members pleaded with her to stop.<<

I know I must be missing something. The woman has the balls to do what she did, she hits the guy, and the other men “plead with her to stop?”

Not exactly “let’s roll,” is it?

That man who offered himself, asking to let the others go free, is a real hero.

Also, the lady. Some are scorning her actions, but she tried at least to stop the man. Took lots of guts, especially for a smaller woman compared to his size.

Just watched the video. When the woman was hitting him with the purse, the men on the board just sat there. This was their opportunity to get the gun away from him. They just sat there waiting to get shot. What a bunch of cowards.

They act like they just went through Vietnam or Afghanistan.

I am sure that you have experienced worse in Nam so I honor your right to look down on others that have been shot at.

I’m sure the MSM rushed a “right-wing gun enthusiast” spin on this tragedy. Thanks DCBryan1!

Some might say so. Others might think he'd been driven to it by an arbitrary and capricous government. Personally, I've seen enough of the latter to believe it.

Regardless of what drove him to it, he was a nutjob in the end. Or do you think it was rational to respond to a Defective Equipment ticket with a double murder?

Not rationable, but ultimately, understandable. These officious vermin will push people until they break. When this starts happening more often, perhaps the vermin will start thinking rationally and reasonably as well.

Well I certainly didn't mean to say that I am better than these people. However, I do understand why you would chose the liberal media touting this. Most people have. The liberal media even gets the best FREEPERS. What stories do the liberal media ever give to the current military folks in Afghanistan. It is not your fault that you are cheerleading this story. You have been acclimated to this for years and years.

It was a live feed. No liberals involved.

I have seen it from two different angles. The woman had spunk but her aim was off. Plus the fact that I don’t believe her pocketbook was heavy enough. Most women seem to carry lead bricks around. Hers was just too light to do the job.
As for the men they were behind the podium and I can see they were at a disadvantage. I have to honestly ask my self “what would I do?” Having a gun pointed to one’s head does make one see “your life pass before you”. Were they cowards or just petrified with fear? I don’t know. The last person to give threats to me got a face full of CS tear gas! One thing is for sure, we could all carry some kind of weapon on us because of leftist nuts like this.

rationable

Did I really type that? How about "rational"?
