Coach Shoots Two Attackers, Saves Himself, Two Females
A 70-year-old woman’s basketball coach was attacked in the parking lot at Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School in Detroit, MI while walking two players to their cars. The men were armed, but so was the coach.
The suspects approached the coach and the girls and one pulled out their gun. The coach quickly pulled out his gun and shot both suspects. One died and the other was taken to a local hospital. Both suspects attended the high school and one was recently expelled.
Both girls and the coach were unharmed.
The coach has a permit to carry and is cooperating with authorities. But this raises an important question to those who want more gun control. What would have happened to this 70-year-old man and two young females if he did not have his gun? Armed citizens save lives. Because of his gun the coach and two girls are still alive.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don’t see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma’am, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?

LOL…I love that!
Snicker
Touché! Great comeback.
Yeppers!
When I lived in Townsville a while back we used to get hand painted signs attached to power poles saying ‘God save General Cosgrove’. Peter Cosgrove was the head of the East Timor intervention force at the time, which was very successful. Townsville was an army & airforce town. They knew a good guy when they saw one.
Incidentally his actual rank is General (retired) as he was promoted from Lt Gen when he became Chief of the Defense Force, before retiring in 2005.
He’s a remarkable man.
you know……..we have a whole lot of rural farm land in south Florida….and almost no crime
everyone is packing
Same here
Yep, here in rural Kansas every one owns a gun. Unless otherwise state by local ordinance, we’ve open carry laws. You can get a conceal permit, but, it’s a bit silly here.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings and commented:

here’s a good one….Argentina blasts the International Monetary Fund….and says they wrecked Europe

Yeh, the IMF doesn’t do anyone any favors. I was reading where Spaniards are running to Chile to get jobs and away from the insanity in Europe.

Then…IF SO……..Do we not have part of the answer to failing educational standards?
The better the economy………………
Well, I don’t know that we’ll learn anything from this.
You won’t see this reported by the MSM unless, of course, they make the coach out to be a vigilante who stalked the two boys and violently gunned them down in the high school parking lot with one of those scary semi-automatic assault pistols.
Anyway, the coach did us all a favor by ridding the gene pool of another violent criminal.
Yep! And maybe taught the other something.
A bit disturbed by Mr, Ron Paul’s remarks:
Here’s the tweet:
Chris Kyle’s death seems to confirm that “he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.” Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense

Mr Paul, do you feel this way about all Veterans?
If so…..I’m happy you didn’t win!
I think his boy lined him out, http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/02/04/Rand-Paul-responds-Ron-Paul
Is that old man a “leftist”?
His tweet was the same that many Leftist wrote. Disregardful that it was Mr Kyle’s skill that saved many lives…. AND Disregardful of the feelings of his in mourning family..
grrrrrr
no,he’s a Doctor…and they tend to be anti-violence and anti-war. Yes, Chris was a hero
but he chose his lifestyle…and what part of what Jesus said do you disagree with ?
Ron should have remained silent…IMHO. RIP,Kyle and condolences to his family.

Are you referring to these words?
Matthew 26:52 [ paraphrased by Mr Ron Paul. ] “he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.”
The words, I do not disagree with.
The contextualize message that Mr Ron Paul used / sent, is wrong.
Jesus was speaking to Peter.. Peter, the person that Jesus was depending on to build his Church.
It was Peter’s bearing of his sword in vain – violence – rashness and without authority that Jesus was addressing.
Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
Then said Jesus unto him,…. That is, unto Peter,
put up again thy sword into its place, or sheath. This Christ said not only to rebuke Peter for his rashness, but to soften the minds of the multitude, who must be enraged at such an action; and which was still more effectually done by his healing the man’s ear: and indeed, had it not been for these words, and this action of Christ’s; and more especially had it not been owing to the powerful influence Christ had over the spirits of these men, in all probability Peter, and the rest of the apostles, had been all destroyed at once,
For all they that take the sword, shall perish with the sword. This is not to be understood of magistrates who bear not the sword in vain, are ministers of God for good, and revengers of evil works; but of private persons that use the sword, and that not in self-defence, but for private revenge; or engage in a quarrel, to which they are not called; and such generally perish, as Peter must have done, had it not been for the interposition of almighty power. Though this seems to be spoken not so much of Peter, and of the danger he exposed himself to, by taking and using the sword, and so to deter him from it, but rather of these his enemies: and as an argument to make and keep Peter easy and quiet, and exercise patience, since, in a little time, God would avenge himself of them; and that the Jews, who now made use of the sword of the Roman soldiers, would perish by the sword of the Romans, as in a few years after the whole nation did.

Ron Paul is a great fiscal conservative. But his foreign policy is out of the dark ages. While I do not agree with the path we are on with foreign policy, the fact remains that isolationism is not the answer.
