Joshua Anderson; just another veteran saving the world

| April 2, 2015

David sends us a link about Joshua Anderson, a disabled veteran who witnessed an altercation and decided to intervene when he saw a woman attacked;

During the altercation, one of the men, later identified as Brett Jowers, allegedly pushed the pregnant girlfriend of the second man, Zachery Sly, to the ground, NBC affiliate WPTV reported.

Anderson, 29, “saw a woman being attacked at night, and he went to her aid,” Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said at a news conference. “In my opinion, I think he did the right thing.”

Anderson warned the men to back off, but when they threatened to jump on him, he shot each of them in the torso, Snyder added. “You don’t have an obligation to allow yourself to be attacked,” the sheriff said.

Anderson explained to the journalists that he was unable to fend off the men due to his disability.

Like has been said many times before; too old or disabled to take an ass whoopin and too young to die. A firearm is the great equalizer.

“You don’t have an obligation to allow yourself to be attacked”, the sheriff said.

I’m sure a lot of the panty waist liberals would disagree with Sheriff William Snyder.
