Capitol Police shoot gunman, HuffPo reacts
According to Associated Press, the Capitol Police shot an armed man when they felt threatened by the unnamed gunman at about 5 am today.
Sgt. Schneider said the officers opened fire after the man refused to drop his weapon and that officers fired because they were in “fear for their lives.”
Readers at the Huffington Post were obviously confused by the news thinking it’s a freakin’ game;

I always ask myself this “Why don’t the cops shoot the criminals in the leg, the arm, the hand for crying out loud!? is it that they can’t aim that good? MUST THEY ALWAYS KILL THE SUSPECT?”I guess they shoot the chest because it’s the wider part of their bodies and these police men can’t aim..

…..Shouldn’t we start referring to it as “Capital “Hill? And,if he was a Democrat,I am saddened. If he was a Republican,then I am gladdened…..Sorry,folks. But thanks to the S.C.O.T.U.S. this might be the only way that we get the attention of Congress in the very short future…..

Sounds like those Teabag Terrorists, trying to feel out the defenses.When they lose in November, Angle and the other Gooptards will be working on their “Second Amendment Remedies”.

When he’s released, maybe Sarah Palin will help him reload.

probably a beck supporter who “stayed behind enemy lines” to keep an eye on the facist socialist communist anti business anti colonial kenyan muslim forces. either that or he got lost on the metro.

Thanks to Sharon Angle, Sarah Pailin, Glenn Beck and every other wackjob encouraging “second ammendment solutions” and for people to “reload.”

The Tea Party and the Republican hate mongering is having it’s effect. I’m quite amazed at how successfully they have whipped up anger and insane behavior in the public. Quite an art! I believe that to be spiritually enlightened, you need to find a peaceful center, I mourn the soul-lessness in the behavior that we see. Is this what it means to be a Christian?
Yeah, I probably would have ignored all of this except nearly every comment is similar.
Category: Liberals suck
Two things they have absolutely no clue about:
Republicans and center-mass.
That is because if those mental midgets are reading the Puffington Host, they are too stupid to draw air without instructions and adult supervision. It is truly frightening that those ignorant disconnected corksmokers have the right to vote.
Of course it’s all about those eeeeevil conservatives and upholding the Constitution. Silly people wanting to exercise their rights. Maybe they would think differently if their 1st and 4th Amendment rights were subjugated? Then, I’m sure, they would be crying like babies because they have a “Constitutional right”.
While slightly off topic, back in my Coulter site admin days, we featured a similar thread plucked from the stinking bowels of Bartcop’s site where the denizens there waxed philosophic about what they would do if confronted with an armed attacker. Among the more humorous replies was a call to “shoot the gun from their hand”, ala Marshal Matt Dillon, I suppose. Another stated they would fire into the air to scare them away and yet another claimed they couldn’t bring themselves to shoot anyone even in self defense or to protect their family. What I find even more hilarious is this amazing piece of excrement, “I guess they shoot the chest because it’s the wider part of their bodies and these police men can’t aim.” Nothing screams ‘stupid’ like a leftard with no knowledge of firearms or LE training trying to apply their retarded logic to the subject.
““`Court records show White was on probation after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute ecstasy on August 1, 2008, and possession with intent to distribute marijuana, transporting handgun and second-degree Assault on August 25, 2008. ““
Oh yeah, he was a real Palin/Beck conservative. If they’d get their heads out of each others asses long enought to take a shower they wouldn’t appear so stupid.
mmm claymore. gotta love that old marshall dillon.
to protect my family?– oh, there’re no rules.
You’ve got that right, Boo. When it comes to my life, or the life of someone I love?
“Fair fight” my left hind foot. I’ll use every dirty trick I know, and invent a few just for the occassion.
When the left starts discussing firearms, it’s one giant failure drill.
I weep for our future. Those comments are borderline psychotic.

As the old saying goes “If you’re in a fair fight, that means your tactics suck”.
Trooper,
My Drill Sergeant used to say
“the only fair fight is the one you win”
I guess they forgot all of crazy violence out there is coming from lefties, like flying planes into buildings, taking hostages to get “green programing”, slitting muslim throats, I could go on and on and on….
Claymore, personally I try to fire my round into the aggressor’s barrel. That way no one gets hurt 😉
Both OT’s: Awesome points! I have to say though, I like the Navy recruiting commercial where the announcer says “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all who threaten it!”
And, if you shoot someone in the leg with anything less than .30-06, they can and will continue to fire, if you shoot them center mass, less of a chance of that happening. Besides, shooting center mass saves taxpayer money from having to feed and cloth this r-tard for the term of his natural life! Sheesh, the Capitol Police were just trying to save some money!!!
Lucky,
Last night I parked next to a truck with a bumper sticker that had that on it…right next to his “Retired Navy” sticker…
Nice!! I prefer my bumper stickers, simple and to the point: Afghanistan/Iraq Combat Veteran, and an M240B right under it. Gets the point across nice and subtle like…
Lucky,
The only sticker on my car…
Nice! I wish I could wear that as a Combat Patch, but our BC only wanted CAPOC patches, and was kinda cross when I politely declined to wear CAPOC on both sleeves, I will stick with SETAF if I can’t wear 1st CAV.
Same same my truck too Tanker!
I think shooting off an ear would stop them in their tracks. If it didn’t, you could always shoot the other one. Then a finger, then……
Honor and Courage
Actually, that was my last unit and also the one I went to Desert Storm with so I have that patch on both shoulders… Almost makes my class A’s look like a movie prop. Hollywood loves to put that patch on every military uniform!
Soooooo much better than the CAPOC patch too!
The language horrifies me.
I mean, “aim that good?” It’s aim that *well,* ma’am.
Its Huuffington Post, either they are all women, or somebody needs to do an adam’s apple check…
Lucky, I think in this instance the spelling for either would be “wimmin”…
Hahahahahaha! I concur!
Scary that one of my best friends from high school lives in the DC area and blogs for HuffPo. She and I get into it every once in a while on FB as well.
Damn shame, too–she was pretty hawt back in the day. Not too bad now, either.
So what ya sayin’ Lucky? Real women know center mass and how to aim for it!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that anyone writing on Huffington Post should put “dahling” after every sentence?
Some, just trying to associate HuffPost for the girly men that they really are Susan!
The short-hand is as follows:
“Women”: Approx. half the adult human population with reasonable intelligence and capable of decisive action.
“Wimmin”: OMG!! OMG!! Either sex.
Guns are magic killing machines. Though functionally very similar to the stapler which I use every day, since all they really do is poke holes in things, guns can kill people; staplers can’t unless it’s one of those weird internet stories. While I’ve never fired one, I have seen documentaries such as “Tango and Cash” and “Taken” which illustrate how easy it is to deliver headshots on demand, one-handed and under stress, so why not go for a leg?
/COM, and more than once when in fear of life or limb.
It sounds like you happen to be making problems by yourself by trying to clear up this concern instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place
I really like your website.. comfortable colors & theme. Do you actually style and design this web site on your own and also would you actually bring in help to do it in your case? Plz respond as I!|m planning to layout my very own site along with want to understand the place you bought that out of. thanks a lot
