A 15-year-old high school football player was hailed a hero after he was fatally shot as he covered three girls when a man ârandomlyâ opened fire on a crowd in Tennessee, police said Friday.
âZaevion Dobson, a 15-year-old Fulton High School student and football player, was struck and killed after he had jumped on top of three girls to shield them from the shooters,â Knoxville police Chief David Rausch said, appearing emotional as he held back tears during a news conference.
None of the three girls were injured, according to a GoFundMe page for Dobson, that said he was âour hero.â
Thursdayâs deadly incident began when Brandon Perry, 23, shot his mother, Lisa, in the back several times, police said.
She suffered non-life threatening injuries, and a 10-year-old who was also inside the residence was not injured, according to the Knoxville Police Department.

Laz . . . one thing you will never get from me is an apology for making an irreverent comment on a FR thread. Do you see where I'm going with this? So far, I'm not sure.

They should consider naming a football field or athletic award after this young man.

Experts tell us, in a scenerio such as this, to attack the shooter, b/c there’s a good chance that you’re going to die anyway.The hero young man certainly had the football training to make a serious physical move toward the assaliant. I’m glad he saved the girls.It’s easy to armchair quarterback this horific event.
God rest his couregeous soul and condolences to his family.

I dunno. I get irreverent. But — and let us put away the hostility JUST for a second on my part — why are you a dick so often to people?
I’m a dick, but I reserve that for trolls. For solid members, I retain civility and employ logic. From what I see, you are a dick to everyone.
THAT is why I’ve been on you lately, FYI.

I don’t see it that way. We’re both dicks. I tend to direct my fire at idiots, and lately, pro-Russian posters and actual Russian trolls. You don’t seem to have the ability to distinguish targets. I see you as more of a mall-shooter.

No, you should see me as a sniper. I snipe trolls.
Don’t become one.

I don't want to read into your post too much but it sounds like the point you are making is the same point we use about keeping women out of the front lines.
BTW, we the learned in basic training to attack the ambush (shooter). I still don't understand what happened at Fort Hood.

Notice the deafening silence from the media, Soetoro, Jackson/Sharpton, and the BLM crowd. Barry Soetoro has taken his black @$$ to Hawaii for Ramadan or whatever the h3ll islamofacists celebrate. It sure as h3ll is not Christmas! Maybe he's gonna go to the beach to see what his 72 virgins look like...

See, that's the thing. I chose this thread to make fun of other people's "Amish" comments. You can call it trolling, I suppose . . . but also a direct commentary on a portion of FR culture that I dislike. And judging from the responses I've seen, it struck a chord. I'm cool with it.
And as far as you are concerned, you may see yourself as a "sniper," and I'm sure that you are a fine one now and then, but other times you're just a child. So you have no standing with me regarding my "childish" comments.
