What a waste. These are the types that should have been armed.

Recently there was a piece that claimed Obummer’s coup de grace for the U.S. was to eliminate God, guns and guts. Obviously he’s been an abject fail in all three, especially considering these young men.

God Bless those three.
We’re down, but we ain’t out!
See, BO? Our spirit isn’t broken!

These héros use their bodies as shield–one of the girls even had her brother also trying to protect her.
And then there was the clown who ran out, leaving his family in the cinema.
Both situations are really sad, but for different reasons.

The headline for this piece SHOULD’VE been “The White Knight Rises,” cause each was sure their girlfriend’s knight in shining armor that night.
Yeah, it’d be called “racist.”

There are some things worth dying for.
Too bad they had to die by this assholes hand.

Amen Roadmaster, I just pray I’m given the courage to do what needs doing if the situation arises.

A civilian act of valor. We have the best of man-kind and the worst that man is capable of doing in one tragic event. God rest their souls.
As far as that animal Holmes, I want a full interogation and examination of his mind and life to determine what motivated him. I don’t care what it takes to obtain this information, including waterboarding, if necessary.

Honorable, brave young men who put their trust in the right thing to do even if it costs their lives.
I pray they are Heaven bound.

I’ve often wondered what would I do. I can only hope these three are there to great me when I finally meet Saint Peter.

I’ll try to keep this short.
What those gentlemen done was admirable.
However, to defend yourself, others and your honor. The appropriate reaction is too..
attack the attack.
In other words; if you’re going to run or take cover, insure its toward the assailant.
Talk to your friends and mentally (or otherwise) prepare positive action towards this an similar assaults.
Gentlemen it’s time to take back our dignity and honor.
Be damned new speak, PC, or whatever it’s called these days.
Refuse to be a victim, Fight for life and liberty.
It’s not, just the duty of our armed forces.

Well done, guys, but you could have taken him if you rushed him. Three against one are pretty good odds in a tight spot.
