Brandon Valle; saving the world
When Leo Labogen’s cheese slid off his cracker the other day at the University of Nebraska’s Criss library, Army soldier, Brandon Valle was there to put a damper on the lunatic’s threats to start cutting people with the three knives that Labogen was brandishing in reaction to library patrons who asked Labogen to take his cellphone conversation outside, according to the Washington Times;
“He’s screaming out he’s going to kill us and slit people’s throats,” Mr. Valle told the station. “I knew it was a threat and this person had crossed a line — it was time to do something about it.”
“As soon as he pulled the knife out, I grabbed his wrist and twisted him and put him down on the couch,” the soldier said.
Two other students reportedly helped Mr. Valle pin the suspect down until Omaha Police arrived.
From local news station WOWT, students who were in the library say that Valle is a hero;
Valle is being hailed as a hero by his fellow students, including Jennifer McDanal, who was also studying in the library. She told WOWT 6 News: “Knowing there are people on campus who are ready to help out and do what’s necessary to keep people safe is a relief.”

Good for Brandon and the other students. We need more like them, and I know they’re around.
Awesome to see a Soldier doing the do, and all the newfound respect there. Great job, young fella!
“Knowing there are people on campus who are ready to help out and do what’s necessary to keep people safe is a relief.”
It’s even better if they’re packing.
Amen.
I was thinking the same thing. A 230 grain slug could have changed that dudes attitude immediately.
Added: Mr. Valle will definitely be getting laid this weekend.
The best thing about this story is that the puke didn’t bring a gun with him.
He must have read the Gun Free Zone stickers on the library door…..
If Valle had just allowed Leo to scream into his cell phone, this wouldn’t have happened. But, noooooooooooo, he just had to ask Leo to take his disruptive call outside. See, that provoked Leo and, in that sense, Valle is responsible for this. (Hey, don’t get mad at men, I’m just employing what I learned from the draw-Mohammed counter protest.)
I can picture the liberal Professor-approved headline in the school newspaper: “Student’s Free Expression Rights Trampled By Abusive Veteran”.

“at men?” No. “at me”
Sergeant First Class Valle. Checked his AKO, he is an active duty 11 series NCO. Must be doing that new green to gold program that allows NCOs to retain full pay and allowances while enrolled in ROTC. In any case, good thing he was there to save the day.
Good for you Brandon Valle!!! Nothing like a good, strong wrist lock to control a person. Glad you were there when the threat was or some folks could have been hurt of killed by this ass hat.
Ballzy move, edged weapons are no joke.
He probably did a .05 second Operational Risk Assessment and immediately came up with: PUSSY WHINERY!
Regarding the hold down position:
Very dangerous. Positional affixiation can take place. The lower leg hold with crossed feet is perfect. Hands should be behind back, palms out and thumbs together (note suspects arms are under his chest). This give subject a mechanical advantage and hands kill. Finally, control the head and you control the body. Turn head to left or right and hold in position with TWO hands. NEVER touch the neck or spine unless deadly force is authorized!
Great job overall!
The little pussy whinery will probably sue and he will become even a larger pussy whinery.
A Prospect Member of The. Dutch Rudder Gang?
Will his chain of command recommend he be awarded the Soldier’s Medal?
Although I’ve never had to use that knowledge, I’m really grateful that during my Basic Combat Training, I was taught how to deal unarmed with a knife-wielding opponent.
Does the Army still teach that particular skill to its basic recruits?
Well done Sir!

These two, Brandon Valle and Leo Lobotomy, are a study in contrast. I would love to see the results of a college poll that asks which one was the Veteran if described thus:
One man is wild-eyed, crazed, maniacal, homicidal, and is threatening college students with a weapon.
Wanna bet that 90% would say the description is that of a Veteran? Gee, I wonder why.
we used to have a sixty year old librarian, Mrs. Kennedy, who would disable the knife wielding crackpots.
Hooah!
