You understand that...but obviously this perp didn’t know much about real confrontation.
Exactly. It was God’s plan to have Jeanne in New Life Church on Dec. 9, 2007 to save innocent lives.
Minneapolis’ loss is Colorado’s gain.
Agree...I mean look at the armed paid men security guards...weapons drawn...and just stood there. She knew exactly how to handle that grave situation.
“Coming at this purely from a woman’s perspective here . .”
LOL! I admit I was being pretty defensive. I didn’t mean to imply that men would be less sensitive. I’m for the Second Amendment, but it was in the back of my mind that my statement of her having peace might trigger some to criticize me as a gun-softie.
{The very LAST thing the police in Colorado want is for folks to start carrying to protect themselves and others. The important to them is that THEY down play and discredit the hero.}
Especially, from the testimony on the Today Show this morning, she kept calm because she prayed as she advanced, firing to engage the shooter, and “with the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Now thats a two fer, God and Guns. Does anybody know if the boy was Gay?
This is why, despite the advice of many FReeper FRiends, I still have not got my CCL.
You have to be able to say to yourself that you are willing to do what this woman did and that you can live with yourself for doing so, if you have to do so.
That’s what my SIL told me, anyway. And what my friend said when I asked why she never got her license after passing her test as first in her class.
Yep. Looks the media did some very bad initial reporting. Add it to Hurricane Katrina, the Beltway snipers, the poor drunk who got labeled the hostage-taker at Clinton headquarters, and everything else on the pile.
your heart can be blown to bits but you can still move around and be conscious. a good head shot will kill instantly, but it is very hard to hit the head of a moving target, far away while under duress. that is why you aim for center mass. it is the biggest part of the body and it will stop the shooter in most cases.
Looks = Looks like
There were posts both asking why she had to shoot him six times, and asking why she didn't just shoot him in the legs on a Colorado newspaper site that mvpel posted on.
After responding to an incident on a public bus, she denied having used swear-words to the bus-driver. Her words were caught on tape.
I know lots of people who use profanity and 10 seconds later have no idea that they did so.
goes along with the fact that every moron reporter reports nearly every firearm as being an ‘assault weapon’.
facts and reality have no place in the MSM or any lib’s lexicon.
The reports that I heard said one rifle, two pistols, and a shotgun. There were early reports of him using a rifle and some parishoners being confused by having been hit by shotgun pellets.
Thanks for providing the facts.
: )
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you, family, and friends!!!
What is the point of posting those reports of Ms. Assam’s past sins? She saved dozens of lives! Do you want to tarnish anybody who does good?
Weren't they volunteers too?
What difference would it make. Whether the woman who stopped him fired a fatal shot or presented him with his death as his only out is irrelevant.
Comment #155 is kinda relevant for you guys, too.
I've read no where in the past few days that he fired the last shot. What I've read was while he was down, he went for a (smoke) grenade, she told don't do it and she shot him again to stop the threat.
Pray for W and Our Troops
