Mika on Church Shootings: 'Inane' To Think Armed Citizen Can Make a Difference

Don't confuse Mika Brzezinski with the facts. She's anti-gun and is not about to let some stunning counter-evidence change her mind.
If ever there was an illustration of how an armed citizen can make a difference, it is the case of Jeanne Assam, the brave woman who took out the killer at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. And yet . . .
On today's Morning Joe, Mika -- in newsreader mode -- dutifully reported the incident. But when Joe Scarborough sought to draw the obvious implication, Mika put her anti-gun foot down.

I don’t want to spend 15 minutes on my dialup to download horse droppings, offhand I think this woman is wanting a utopia Marxist, totalitarian police state where she can live in uber security knowing the world has no deranged terrorists lurking at any corner at any time. Without knowing the facts is this bimbo a Hillary supporter, and anybody heard anything about the Hillary supporters views on this?

Mika Brzezinski is suffering from a strong delusion. Clearly, Jeanne Assam, not only stoped the killer, but she did so herocially, using her second amendment rights as they were intended.
Read her own words:
I just knew what I had to do. It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God.
I knew that I could not let this man harm any more people. I said, 'God, this is you.' I asked Him to be with me and He never left my side.
I want to do His will and not my will. Where I was weak, God made me strong. He filled me, He guided me, He protected me, and many other people.
A liberal's nightmare come true.
God bless Jeanne for raising the alarm, for her faith in God, for her humility, and for her willingness and courage to allow God to guide her footsteps through great peril and great risk to herself in defense of her church and fellow parishners from a deranged killer.
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 all make plain 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, despite the delusions Mika suffers from.

Mika Brezenski has led a life repleat with privilege, as her view on this demonstrates conclusively.
This is a woman thats had security for her entire life, due to her father. She’s had doormen, high walls and gates, large estates to call home from birth through today.
There is nothing quite so vapid as a trust fund liberal, folks.

She (Mika Brzezinski) cannot force feed us tripe, unless Americans are unarmed. She (Mika Brzezinski) knows this. Unarmed, benevolent, and bowing at her feet. Oh Mika, we the unarmed, unprotected, bowing at your feet, await your wisdom...then Mika goes...BANG, and the sheeple have no choice but to die willingly or run for the hills. Mika wants all but her to be liberal servants. Unarmed is power for the armed!
Bet Mika keeps her bodyguard(s), but you dare not be allowed to keep yours. What a foolish woman, or a woman with an agenda. Meanwhile another woman just saved hundreds of lives, by doing what needed to be done by serving and protecting. Mika doesn't have a story of death and fear. Maybe this is why Mika is upset. Hundreds didn't die....Mika would, I suppose prefer the story of hundreds dead rather than a story of a Hero who protected.

What's 'inane' is that Zbigniew Brzezinski was able to reproduce.
(I bet copious amounts of liquor where involved with that act).

Morning, my friend.
I took up exactly that subject Saturday in my weekly column, posted here on FR. Mika can have the truth right in their face, even stuffed up her nose, and not recognize it. She should be fired from her job as a "reporter" for her incompetence.
Surely there are bimbos who can take her place, look good, sound agreeable, and not say anything truly stupid. The network should give it a shot.

Anyone else notice the resentful expression on her face when she has to concede that the woman actually did save hundreds of lives and THEN she tries to say there’s a difference between her stopping him with a wound and stopping him dead. As though it didn’t count unless she killed him!

So, what or who is it Mika is trying to protect?
Her ambition to have folks NOT SHOOT BACK has to have a motive, so who's the big criminal in her life.

So this idiot insists that one person with a gun cannot make a difference. Would she enlighten us as to why the police carry guns?
