Another Theater Shooting

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

There was an off duty ARMED cop in the theater. The suspect started shooting in the lobby., but was shot 4 times by off duty officer, no one killed..

well liberal moon bats .. there is your answer to all your hypothetical, " an armed person can not stop a mass shooting and more guns will just mean more violence.".

Yup disarming safe law abiding citizens makes lot of sense.. NOT

On Sunday December 17, 2012, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend. After he shot her, most of the people in the restaurant fled next door to a theater. The gunman followed them and entered the theater so he could shoot more people. He started shooting and people in the theater started running and screaming. It's like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant! Now aren't you wondering why this isn't a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting? There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened. Only the local media covered it. The city is giving her a medal next week. Just thought you'd like to know.

Really? How does this story parallel the CO theatre shooting? How does it bolster the armed citizen argument?

Was this gunman in body armor?

Did this gunman have multiple assault, or assault type guns?

Was it just your average citizen with a gun who stopped this shooter?

Not seeing your big gotcha here?

Uh, I live in San Antonio, and this story was well reported all over the news here - not "kept quiet" by the media, as your source's headline claims. Your source got additional significant details wrong. (Why you would put your trust in dubious sources like that is another story.)

The suspect did not go into the theater "to shoot more people." He was attempting to escape from an on-duty San Antonio police officer (who had already been called to the scene by people from the restaurant) who came across him in the parking lot as the suspect was chasing someone and firing shots. The suspect then ran into the theater and into a bathroom there without firing any more shots - he was trying to hide from the cops and deputies on his tail. The off-duty Bexar County Sheriff's deputy, along with another off-duty San Antonio police officer, first secured the patrons in the lobby, then followed the guy into the restroom where the final confrontation took place and the female deputy shot the suspect.

She was awarded a Medal of Honor by the Sheriff's Department.

Herschel...THEY DON'T CARE!

You are arguing facts and practiocalities with people that have no interest in facts or practicalities. They only want an excuse to impose the same agenda they have been seeking for decades. If they were interested in facts they would realize that the assault weapons ban was already imposed and allowed to expire because IT DID NOT WORK! No reason not to call for more of the same though.

Herschel, they are not going to get any laws passed on the federal level. Any state inclined to ban ugly guns has already done so.

You are trying to teach pigs to sing.

so, the OP is a liberal moon bat for getting the facts wrong ?

is that wot a liberal moon bat is? one who gets facts wrong

Unfortunately, a lot of people select their information sources merely on the basis of whether or not they reinforce their own existing opinions, not to actually learn anything.

Also the gunman's girlfriend (or ex-girlfriend, most likely by now ) was not shot - she wasn't even there. Nobody was shot other than the gunman.

nothing wrong with a little shooting as long as the right people get shot.

Harry Callahan. not a dirty harry fan, are you?

Not really. I am not a fan of summary execution.

Dr. Prosky: How do you feel when You've fired your weapon?

Turk: Dirty Harry said there's nothing wrong with a little shooting, as long as the right people get shot.

Dr. Prosky: And when the wrong people get shot?

Turk: It sucks... but I'd rather be in than out.
