Guns Save Lives

College student shoots and kills home invader:

A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked me who burst into an apartment.

“Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all,” said student Charles Bailey.

Bailey said he thought it was the end of his life and the lives of the 10 people inside his apartment for a birthday party after two masked men with guns burst in through a patio door.

“They just came in and separated the men from the women and said, ‘Give me your wallets and cell phones,’” said George Williams of the College Park Police Department.

Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,” said Bailey.

That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.

The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.

“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,” said Bailey.

A neighbor heard the shots and heard someone running nearby.

“And I heard someone say, ‘Someone help me. Call the police. Somebody call the police,’” said a neighbor.

The neighbor said she believes it was Lavant, who was found dead near his apartment, only one building away.

“I think all of us are really cognizant of the fact that we could have all been killed,” said Bailey.

Two comments:
1) I sure hope this quick thinking student was not in a Gun Free Zone(sic) when he shot this guy.

2) I like the way the almost-rapist-and-murderer started calling for help from the police.

Ridiculous Anti-Gun Bias

Some guy went off and, in what appears to be a suicide-by-cop, kills three Pittsburgh police officers.

So what's the suspected lead cause? It's right there in paragraph number two:

Friends said 23 year-old Richard Poplawski feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

Gosh. Saying that is like saying "The killer believed that the sky was blue." Heck, Obama is the Salesman of the Year at many gun shops. It's darn near impossible to purchase an AR-15 right now demand is so high.

And look at the guns he likes: AK-47. .357 Magnum. Wow. What a wacko.

This second article is not much better, again leading with the statement that he "was also convinced that the government wanted to take away his guns and his freedom."

A little further down we learn a few more things about this guy:

• He was expelled from high school;
  
• He was dishonorably discharged from the Marines during basic training;
  
• His girlfriend left him soon thereafter;
  
• He had a failed internet talk show;
  
• At 22, he's living with his mother and grandmother; his father is not involved in his life;
  
• He lost his job earlier this year.

But what's the reason he killed the cops? He believed Obama wanted to take his guns away.

Obama: Salesman Of The Year

Rumor has it that President Obama will be making a stop at Top Gun shooting range's annual company dinner.

He is up for Salesman of the Year.

My First Obama Blog Post

So, from roblambert.com (among numerous other places):
"the country ... is changing"

What the HELL does that mean?

Maybe this?

Prosecutors said Hart, who is black, yelled "'White [expletive], [expletive] McCain--you white police can't do nothing anymore.'" With that, she reached through the window of a squad car and slapped a white male officer in the face, according to Assistant State's Atty. Lorraine Scaduto.

Full story.

Of course, this story must be fake, since handguns are illegal in Chicago.

Change.

Hope.
