There were more than one armed policeman there, right? The cop he shot was armed right? A coward would never have tried anything. I didn't say Mattews was "brave"; I said you couldn't call him a coward. He may have been angry, but a coward would just been angry and taken it out on his wife or some other less threatening innocent.
The action Matthews tried was bad enought, at this point in our "evolving" relationship with our own executives. Trying to demonize him with an inaccruacy is counter productive to the message you're trying to put out. This is the very tactic the liberals use, Ann wrote her book about, and what's being recognized as a ploy by more and more people.
It would be wise to stick to facts and leave the mindless emotional amplification, notions absurd on the very surface, out.
