The Hero of Seattle

Now, Klein said she is speaking out, in part because telling her story helps her to heal, and in part to help raise awareness about gun control and workplace safety.

Klein said her American Red Cross training helped her instinctively know what to do when she was confronted and shot by the gunman.
No it did not. Yes, you kept your head, but you were extremely lucky. The choice to shoot again or not was entirely your assailant's. Now you're hell-bent on making others victims of another madman's unilateral decision.

That doesn't make you a hero--that makes you an enabler, as is gushing propagandist Jackson Holtz, who actually has the gall to represent himself as a "reporter".

Perhaps Ms. Klein should have a talk with Mr. Theodore Haas. Mr. Haas can explain to her in detail about 'gun control' and its ramifications:

Heroism saves lives, it does not quietly beg the murdering muslim to talk to another murder-enabling 'crat. She is not a hero (or heroine, as they used to be called, before women were credited with balls they didn't have) any more than there is such a thing as a "juke-box hero", "rock and roll hero", "anti-war hero" or any other tripe dreamed up in the socialist dream world that lives on paper or screen. Whenever I'm at a gathering of younger people, and I'm already part of the conversation, I like to work in this question. Do you know who Mitchell Paige is? How about Alvin York? Was Eddie Albert or John Wayne actually in WW2? Who were the Black Sheep? What did Douglas MacArthur and his Dad have in common, besides blood? Why was a guy named Albert Ball detained by airport security? Not a clue, any of em'. I tell em' to learn to speak Arabic, and brush up on their Koran, because they wouldn't know heroic if it walked up and slapped their face.
