Trump renews attack on Florida deputy: 'I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon'

POTUS had a concealed carry for decades in NYC.

Wanna feel riled up? Heres a letter I came across the Irish Daily mail today;

"At the height of the Vietnam war, when some 50,000 mainly conscripted US Servicemen died in action, along with countless more that were maimed in mind and body, a young Donald Trump managed to avoid the draft on five different occasions. Last week a gunman with a high-powered assault weapon wrought havoc in Marjory Stoneman Doulas High School. For reasons as yet not explained, an officer stationed outside the school failed to enter the building to confront the shooter and 17 pupils perished. Trump labelled the officer a coward. Most people with even a passing acquaintance in weaponry would agree that a general-issue side arm, as carried by US police forces, is not the antidote to a high-velocity multi-round assault weapon and that the officer would have just been another statistic on the casualty list. Because Officer Scot Peterson is 54, one might presume he has many years service behind him; he may have numerous commendations and bravery awards to his credit in a long career, but we may never know that now because a draft-dodger president has told the world that Scot Peterson is a coward. I'd wager there are many people in Mr. Peterson's past that would contradict that slur."

...Motherf##ker.

CAIR: TERROR IN THE USA 2018

Following the 17 teens murdered, Fla. Governor Scott has ordered an investigation of the terror-tied Muslim CAIR group to Broward Sheriff Scott Israel.

Israel's deputies did nothing during the Broward school shootout that killed 17 teens.

But it was recently revealed that Sheriff Israel provided weapons training to members of a radical mosque with ties to Muslim terror groups.

"The more those cowards are shamed, the better."

Amen.

[ArmstedFragg]

Precisely. If one is seriously interested in understanding the behavior of the deputy and not just blandly assigning blame, it’s necessary to understand what he knew at the time, and what his thinking was. Then it’s possible to make an assessment about the reasonableness of his actions. Absent that, mimicking that well known source of truth and facts, CNN, by running around yelling “coward!” “coward!” is foolish.

Trump may be falling for the same fake news he usually decries.

Armed officer at Florida school shooting never went inside to confront gunman [Deputy present!]
The Telegraph ^ | February 22, 2018 | Telegraph Reporters

The armed officer on duty...The school resource officer at the high school took up a position viewing the western entrance of the building that was under attack for more than 4 minutes, but "he never went in," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a news conference...Israel said the deputy should have "went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer."

[Puppage]

Yeah, no kidding.

[ArmstedFragg]

VIEWING the entrance, not AT the entrance. He was across the courtyard in the entranceway to another building.

[onona]

Absolutely necessary to call the cowards out.

And he's just saying what 97% of the rest of the men AND women are thinking.

[Socon-Econ]

Easier for Trump to say than to do without a weapon, but I can envision him there with his AK-47 blazing away. Putin: without a weapon.

[LeeClementineKenny]

Trump needs use his own power to do something about his own corrupt FBI. He’s going to have to take more risk to change things in a major way.

“saying he would have run into the building even if he did not possess a weapon.”

I think nearly every Freeper would or at least would pray for the courage to do the same.

[SERKIT]

Trump should demonstrate bravery, and personally lead a taskforce ICE, ATF, and DEA and meet up with Tiny Dancer on the 5th floor of Chicago’s Ciy Hall. We’ll see if Creamy Bob organizes a Resistance Movement.

[Fawn]

omg...I can’t believe he said that....all i kept thinking while listening to this was SHUT UP SHUT UP.

[DesertRhino]

I think he would have. And most parents I know would have too. Can anyone imagine a mom or dad knowing their kid was in there, and not storming the place?

[ought-six]

I think I would make the Sign of the Cross, whisper, “Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit,” and go into that building to do whatever I could to save kids. But, that’s just me.

[Socon-Econ]

Can anyone imagine a mom or dad knowing their kid was in there, and not storming the place?
*******************
It would depend on how much you trust the police, your kid, and his friends. I’d hate to go in there without a weapon knowing that my bravado would make him more likely to leave there fatherless.

He is the grown-up version of Howdy Doody. Just look at him.
