Jim Shea, a former vice president of university relations for Temple, from 1968 to 1983,

VERY good chance he was a liberal then and maybe still is

That was exactly the same thought I had..... former VP of university relations 1968-83 = politically correct, white, socialist liberal. Any university back then or today, simply does not hire or promote people with a conservative mindset or principles.

I would be willing to bet his white guilt-ridden complex may not be quite so active any more. He may even be contemplating C&C for all we know.

Jeff Cooper was always on target. I instruct my classes that the only time you should be in Condition White is when you are at home, in bed, and asleep. Every other minute you had better be in Yellow and ready to go to Orange.

For those on this thread who don't know about the color-codes, the late Jeff Cooper (a master firearms instructor) created a scale of awareness:

Condition White: oblivious. If attacked in this state, your first awareness that there's a threat will be when the bad guy knocks you down or sticks a knife to your throat.

Condition Yellow: relaxed alertness. You are aware of your surroundings, and observant for potential threats. If you are out in public, you should be in Yellow at all times.

Condition Orange: you notice a potential threat. You may be noticing a group of guys looking at you like they are sizing you up, a guy in summer wearing a heavy jacket, whatever. You notice something not right and become very alert. You may take evasive action (cross the street, whatever) and evaluate the response of the potential threat.

Condition Red: the potential threat has revealed himself as a real threat. You draw you weapon and prepare to defend yourself.

Whatever happened to the Guardian Angels? Maybe an organized group of armed escort volunteers is needed. I’ll step up.

Brought to you by your neighborhood government school system. We’ve drained the morality out of your child so you don’t have to.

When armed, you need to operate in "condition yellow" (relaxed alertness), especially when in "Indian Country", otherwise being armed is useless. You need to maintain awareness of potential threats in all directions.

Exactly.

I do that walk occasionally from the Ridge ave entrance to Bells Mill Rd. and back. It’s occasional because it’s in excess of 10 miles. It’s a beauty. Head on a swivel, 31 rounds.

In a healthy society, elderly people are treated with respect, even reverence. This kind of attack shows how far our culture has devolved. And I’m sure there are plenty of liberals who will defend the savages who beat Mr. Shea. A part of their thinking, though they aren’t quite to the point of admitting it publically, will be that an 84-year-old man is a “useless mouth,” a person of no value who will probably die soon anyway.

****

I believe there are still plenty of people who respect elders. Just not THIS particular segment of society. Their values, if any, are quite different from the rest of civilized society.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

Good one!

Perhaps about 50 of us with guns should make the walk with him next time!

#12: Temple, my alma mater (66) was founded by a former Union officer as a Baptist college.

It later expanded to become the largest private university in the country, and affectionately named, in the 1960’s, “Tel Aviv on the Schukyll”.

Today Temple is a very diverse university, with a few marxists on their staff ,esp. the Law School, but Temple students (and I doubt that those from LaSalle, Penn, Drexel or Villanova) go around beating up old white people.

There should be a law that only students and alumni can buy university clothing, or very small children.

The punks give everyone a bad name. Wish Mr. Shea had been packing but in Philadelphia, only the criminals have weapons (including rocks).

Oh where the heck is Rizzo now that we need him? Ramsey, okay but somewhat of a lightweight Police Chief.

friend’s daughter went to temple. Her walk from her dorm to the rest of the campus took her through burned out drug house neighborhoods. That is where all the delicious coeds lived. Insane.
