Armed citizen stops stabbing rampage in Memphis Grocery Store - Page 3

RSSZ · July 22nd, 2006, 08:03 AM

The civilians/employee's put their life on the line to save the lives of others. They subdue the POS BG and hold him for the police.

When the LEO's arrive with all the movie cameras,they are filmed hookin' him up and placeing him in the patrol car. And of course driving off to jail. All documented on film.

Then some PD spokesperson has the nads to look sternly at the camera and say,for you civilians personal safety,we do not encourage this kind of action to be taken.

Which means to me,just sit back and watch the perp kill as many people as he wants to,then just walk away.

Am I wrong in assumeing the above ????? -------

Anybody on here who lives near there going to write to the CHief of Police and call B.S. on his comment??

Oh my! You mean a Southern armed citizen just didn't start blasting away and exercised good judgment? I'm sure the lib's will dismiss it as a fluke incident.

The Brady Bunch would prefer the last victim, there in the parking lot, be stabbed to death.

And, of course, that "reasonable restrictions" be placed on kitchen knives (the way such "reasonable restrictions" are placed on knives with blades longer than 2 1/2" in D.C.).

Ugh.

Good for the Hero!

Good for America!

I'm proud to hear of the man's response.

I know the police have to say this crap but it fires me up a little.

The Police dont have to say a thing.

Its obviously policy at the dept.to be politically correct.

Rest assured it is not that way everywhere.

A good story concerning an armed citizen for once.

How the heck did the newsies let something good about guns slip through?

Lots of good gun stories get through local media across the country -- some better than others, some with anti-slant and some not -- but for quite a long time, the big networks have been spiking these stories (unless they can put enough anti-spin to fit their agenda), as they are in the business of propagandizing the public to hate guns.

) stopping the crime.

That is really great!
I hope Fox's ratings go through the roof, leaving the other networks to wonder what they are doing wrong.

Even picked up here, although the armed citizen angle was minimized, wouldn't want the peasents getting ideas.
