Jeff Cooper

[Petruchio]

I have seen alerts on other forums that Jeff Cooper is in Intensive Care.

Quote:
Jeff Cooper is in extremely grave condition at this hour. Previously hospitalized for possible surgery, he suffered a heart attack and was revived in the hospital.

The heart muscle suffered serious damage.

It was posted at 19:28 hours EDT.

With a legacy such as his will he ever truly be gone? I think not.
In the end all I can pray is that the Lord's will be done.
If it's his time to part from this world then there isn't much anyone can do except keep what he taught alive. To me that is the most fitting tribute.

Philman, You asked:

"Have you ever even considered their home page statement?
Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit."

wikipedia's home statement is FALSE.

I have edited some of the entries on your leftwing wikipedia and my changes are changed back to their original leftwing state immediately.

And wikipedia sends me threats that I will be banned from editing.

Do you have a CLUE who Seymour Hersh and Noam Chomsky are?
Apparently not.

The laudatory entries of these Hate-America leftwingers on wikipedia read like something emanating from Move.On.org or any other Hate-America site.

wikipedia is a LEFTWING SITE posing as an "information" source.

Typical leftwing operating mode.

[philman_36]

...on your leftwing wikipedia...
Your feeble attempt at guilt by association is pathetic and pedantic.
And wikipedia sends me threats that I will be banned from editing.
I'd love to see that. Why don't you share your threats so everyone can see what they do and be forarmed and forewarned?
Do you have a CLUE who Seymour Hersh and Noam Chomsky are?
Apparently not.
Wrong. Such much in your replies are that as well...wrong. I'm familiar with both of those men, and, before you put the rest of your leg in your mouth, I don't care much for either man or for their thoughts.
Perhaps they wrote their own entries since they're so glowing. Why leave it to second rate hacks? (have you even considered that?)
The laudatory entries of these Hate-America leftwingers on wikipedia read like something emanating from Move.On.org or any other Hate-America site.
So shut 'em down, right? Be as censorial as the Democrats are and shut 'em down...right? And that'll just put fuel on the fire.

You're a tool and a fool, and I rarely call people that because I recognize the danger I place myself in.

Mat 5:21/22 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

My best wishes to The Col. and family. I always went to Coopers Corner first.

Philman,

Look up the word CLUELESS sometime

LOL

Feeble in the mind,

Always lag behind.

[philman_36]

So, in other words, you can't touch a thing I said so you resort to childish games. I've seen it before.
How many retreads is this for you?

[Petruchio]

This thread is for information on the last days of a great man. If you must insist on scrapping like children, please take it outside.

[philman_36]

My apologies, to the thread.

Burn my replies if you want Admin, I don't care.

[philman_36]

Let's just say I was putting good advice to good use...
Orange - Specific alert. Something not quite right has gotten your attention and you shift your primary focus to that thing. Something is "wrong" with a person or object. Your mindset is that "I may have to shoot that person." In orange you set a fight trigger: "If that goblin does "x", I will need to "stop" them."
Confrontation comes in many fashions.
Again, my apologies.

I join in prayer for Jeff Cooper - a peaceful and painless, joyful homegoing.

[LibertyRocks]

Prayers are being said here for Jeff Cooper and his family. As it sounds from the updates that nothing more can be done for him I will pray for God to give them all peace and comfort as he prepares for his journey home...

I did not know of this man before, but I am grateful to have the opportunity to read about his work. We are so fortunate to have men such as he in our world. Thank you for posting this thread.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Prayers for Col. Cooper. I did not know who he was, but have enjoyed reading about this fine example of an American Patriot, and am sorry it only happened because of his health peril.

[Petruchio]

UPDATE:

Word this morning is that the Colonel is home and resting as well as possible. His original reason for being in the hospital was for surgery to relieve severe pain from some bad vertebrae in his back. There is some confusion as to his overall condition and Pat Rogers is trying to confirm at this time.

The one thing that has been confirmed is though his body is frail, his mind is sharp as ever. So it may be a bit premature to speak of him in the "past" tense.

The info I have been posting is from either Pat Rogers, his daughter, or one of his work associates. I am only posting info that I think is accurate. This is a horrible time for any family to go through, and I am trying to keep a respectful distance. My only wish is that God looks favorably on this old Warhorse we all have grown to love as a teacher.

Col. Jeff Cooper is one of the greats! I hope that he pulls through this, though I'm concerned for him at his advanced age.

I have one of his books, "To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth" and it's a good collection of some of his previous writings along with some more recent (at the time of publishing). I recall an out-of-print book of his called "Cooper on Handguns". It has some of his better works IIRC.

[Petruchio]

A Notice has been posted on the Jeff Cooper's Commentaries website.

http://harris.dvc.org.uk/jeff/

It almost sounds hopeful.

[Lurker]

I hope the good Colonel is at peace and feeling no pain.

Prayers up for a fine man.

This is a tough man and it apparently takes a lot to stop him.

Anything is possible. I, like you, will not give up hope until after he does!
