How a heroic Marine’s military training helped him save dozens from Orlando gunman
washing post ^ | 15 June 2016 | Peter Holley

Imran Yousuf, a bouncer at the Pulse nightclub, had an advantage. A Marine who had served in Afghanistan, Yousuf was able to use his training to quickly identify the impending threat and remain clear-headed as people died around him, according to the Marine Corps Times. Because of the 24-year-old’s decisive actions, he is being credited with saving dozens of lives.

I’m glad he opened the door but it seems like the press really wants this to be a big story. Wonder why /s

The media will push this because many people will assume he is a muslim, as did I.

Yet, how many lives could he have saved -- or anyone else for that matter -- had he been allowed to exercise his RKBA?

Orlando is yet another case in which "Just One Gun could've stopped the madman in his tracks..." The URL's in my tagline. Give it a listen and tell me it ain't the 100% truth.

Comments at the site are stupid and childish, as expected.

“Trump supporters, are you watching?”

The easiest way to explain Trump’s position, to those who would listen:

You have a jar of 10 jelly beans. 2 of the jelly beans are poisoned, and you have to eat 8. Would you like to eat them now, or wait until you know how to detect the poison?

In reality, the islamic jar is what’s poisoning the jelly beans, but a liberal will never understand/accept that.

This gets interesting. First the Marine takes action and opens the door so the people trapped in the hallway can escape. Then, an actor by the name of Luis Burbano closes the door and latches it shut after he gets out, and gets plenty of interviews afterwards.

Also mentioned in the article is another actor, Patience Carter, who now has a poem written and ready to go.

I have a few Hindu friends that I talked to after the Orlando terror attack. They were telling me about the way older generations passed along knowledge through story telling. One of the most important stories they told them was to never trust a moslum no matter how well you know him

There was one gun and it did not stop Mateen. The return fire from an off duty policeman induced the Moslem to take cover in the bathroom which narrowed his field of fire considerably and thereby some lives were surely saved. It also apparently convinced the perp to take hostages rather than to just shoot those particular people.

Many of them, perhaps all of the leaders, understand all that but calculate that they can use the Shaitan agents to destabilize and disable the society so that when the Left gets total Stalinist control it can then kill all the Moslems who will then be seen as competition except for a few it needs to continue to weed out potential dissidents.

This is illustrated by the stories of survivors of Moslem slaughter of Christian Armenians and from Isisland. Armenians and Moslem Turks had been neighbors and close friends for generations living side by side in the same villages, when the killing started a Christian’s best friend with whom he had shared Raki and coffee for all his life. When the slaughter began the horn sounded at dawn and the best friend Turks came to the Christians houses and killed them. The killing and the fleeing and the chasing continued until the horn sounded again as sunset. Then the neighbors who had been killing began to apologize to their surviving victims and bind up their wounds. Then it started all over again the next morning. Similar tales come from Iraq and Syria but without the horn. I suppose it was done by cellphone.

Doesn’t sound like a Hindu. Yahoo is a well-known liberal site, I’d bet they’re covering up his Muslim-ness. Why would that be? Maybe because this Muzzie traitor isn’t actually a marine? I wouldn’t put it past the ISIS-loving Washington Post to fabricate a story of heroism by a dark-skinned “soldier” to distract from ISIS’ terror attack.

Neither first nor last name is remotely Hindu. It’s Muslim. Yahoo is up to something.

That’s what I was wondering... he made sure to get the back door (no puns, please) opened so people could get out.

Don’t ALL buildings have to have at least 2 exits, in case of emergency (fire, crazed/deranged shooter)?
