The media have not given Jeanne Assam the credit she is due.

Very nice.
Thank you so much for posting this article; what an incredible and Blessed person Jeanne Assam is, and how Great is our Awesome God!
Excellent!
This thread will soon have some great pictures and graphics.
She is a true American Hero who will not soon be forgotten.
Her actions will be the center of many of our countries future discussions about guns and gun control.
As I said on another thread, according to Thomas Aquinas defending your neighbor against unjust violence is an act of Christian charity. No question that this was the right thing to do.
“...and has been seeking to know God’s will for her ... asking Him to provide direction and guidance.”
Sounds to me like God answered her.
Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
She's got a double whammy. Not only is she an example of the virtues of the Second Amendment but also of the virtues of Christianity.
The MSM journalistic zombies will never give publicity to either if they can help it.

She is a better Christian than me. I would extend my sympathies to everyone except the shooter. If my kids were killed by him, I go after his entire immediate family, to send a message to any teenage or early twenties loser that if he does not care about himself, he better think about his parents, siblings, significant other and his own kids. Too many young losers think nothing will happen except to them only. When a couple of these losers hear that one of their own commits a crime and his family dies with him, they may have second thoughts.
I watched the whole news video online. God bless this humble lady who rose to the occasion to risk her own life to save so many others. How inspiring ...
Hooray Jeanne Assam! Thank you joanie-f. Outstanding!
The lord works in mysterious and awesome ways. Evil was stopped today through a combination of providence, a young woman's vigilance and the wisdom of our founding fathers to know our right to life, liberty and all other freedoms are guaranteed not by a piece of paper but by a well aimed weapon.
A truly incredible lady.
Thank you for this thread Joanie-F.
Bravo!
Self-defense, as the founders intended and provided for through the 2nd amendment, which, in my way of thinking is nothing more than our unalienable right to self-defense, is the answer to these tragedies and countless others. Here, it proved its mettle in a dramtic way, and in the exact manner intended IMHO...a God-fearing, faithful, responsible American citizen couragously standing against murder and tyranny...because such killers are nothing but ruthless tyrants at heart, imposing their murderous will on innocents at the point of a gun or sword.
This incident, the mall in Utah, the school back in Kentucky several years ago. Each case shows that arming the people themselves who are there when these heinious acts go down, is the way to arrest and stop the bloodshed and save lives. This policy should be adopted at every mall, school, church, synagogue...and HOME in America IMHO.
I can add but one thing to your wonderful and spot on comments Joanie, and the summation you made...
The Second Amendment proved its value this weekend when a legally armed, courageous, cool-headed, and God-fearing, American citizen saved the lives of many of her countrymen.
God preserve the Second Amendment. And God bless Jeanne Assam.
This interview needs to be played over and over...it should be required reading in every civis class across this nation, and every self-defense course. Again, thank God this coragous and faithful woman was put in place there by God to do His will, preserve lives, and teach us the manner in which we, as a people, should face these dangers.
Thank you joanie.
We may never know what will be accomplished by any that this lady saved.
Cops can’t be everywhere; it’s the nature of a force that can only be RE-active (not to mention ‘handcuffed’ by left wing mentality). It’s more than high time that we take back our neighborhoods and cities. The scum may think twice if they think they are facing a population willing to defend itself.
I preach this and live it: Arm yourselves and be ready to USE your level of force. Remember that some people only improve the society with their absence.
I have passed your narrative and quotes along by email list Joanie.
God is showing us through this woman...is testifying to each and every one who hears this story that:
1. HE is aware of us and is involved in our lives, and
2. That there is a way to address and face the terros of the day when they manifest themselves in this manner...the same way that He inspired our foundersto enumerate to us.
