Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Why is anyone surprised by what the media prints or puts on TV? Do we actually expect them to be logical? Or even come close to the truth? I am surprised that they put in the story that the good guy had a license to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 However... it does reflect well on the CCW bunch! At least in my not-so-humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Bottom line is that civilians aren't supposed to have weapons or defend themselves or anyone else. I hope folks there give that news station hell about it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Only the District Attorney from Baltimore would even consider bringing charges against that citizen. He's a hero in my book and I would be eternally grateful if he had saved my bacon. I'm thinking ticker tape parade and the key to the city.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I appears he was obeying the commands of the officer. Isn't that what we are suppose to do? ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Since this is a homicide, I suspect the armed passerby's case will be brought before a grand jury and will not be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 And this! Never fails that they bring up the question of whether he was licensed to carry and if the gun was registered....even in states where its not a requirement. The inference, of course, is that this should be a law in every state. Heres the latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 sob didn't find Jesus. He found a religious woman who he was trying to get close to....a challenge. The faces change, but it's the same old story. Like Travon Martin, the snake was squashed before it could suck up any more resources or do any more damage in this world. I have good people and good things to focus my attentions on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Update: The sheriff says the Good Samaritan is a hero... "The sheriff says the Good Samaritan is a hero. 'In a day and age where race is a near instant focus for media and other pundits in police incidents, the fact is that this hero happens to be a man of color who stopped another man of color from further harming or killing a white cop; thereby reminding us that black lives matter, blue lives matter, and indeed all life matters,' Sheriff Mike Scott posted on the department's Facebook page. 'We at your Sheriff’s Office remain proud to serve and focused on the mission,' he said." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
