FRANCONIA, New Hampshire (AP) -- A cousin of skiing star Bode Miller fatally shot and ran over a police officer, then was killed by a passer-by who grabbed the officer's gun.

Bystander couldn't rescue the officer, but did put his killer down...

Gregory Floyd, who was driving by with his son, grabbed McKay's gun and shot Kenney when he refused to put his gun down, Ayotte said.

Bravo, Mr. Floyd! If only there many, many more like you in this country.

Methinks we need about 300 million people like this guy in this country.

Kudos to the bystander.

From what I remember of the last winter olympics, Bode Miller was a real jerk who didn’t give a rats behind for the US team. Stayed out partying every and all night. Ski like crap the next day and not care about it.

Works for me!

ust goes to show that knowing HOW to use a firearm serves the good of mankind. All children should be taught this fine skill.

The benefits of the ordinary citizen being comfortable with guns. Justice was done.

I took a look at your “about” page, and while I like all of the quotations you cite, I’m particularly fond of the Thomas Jefferson quotes, and the one by Ezra Taft Benson. They got it. We badly need for more people in this country to get it like they did, and like this bystander did.

And just think - if the Rats had had their way, the bystander wouldn’t have been able to use the officer’s biometrics-secured weapon to avenge his death.

Being in New Hampshire, the bystander will probably get prison time for murder.

I have never been to NH.
Is the citizen bystander going to get a medal or an indictment?

“I have never been to NH.
Is the citizen bystander going to get a medal or an indictment?”

I don’t know. If the bystander gets indicted, I will never, ever, darken their state with my shadow. Unfortunately, the only person from NH I’ve ever known well is now a Bush-hating super-lib. He used to be a 2nd Amendment supporter, but I’ve not seen him in almost a quarter-century, and what I’ve seen of his thoughts posted on the Internet since then lead me to think he’s fried every brain-cell he had left when last I saw him.

“Being in New Hampshire, the bystander will probably get prison time for murder.”

I hope and pray not. Seems to me he did the state, and the citizens of Franconia a serious favor.

If they live up to “Live Free or Die,” a medal.

Of course, license plates with that motto are made in the New Hampshire State Penitentiary.

Gregory Floyd, who was driving by with his son, grabbed McKay's gun and shot Kenney when he refused to put his gun down, Ayotte said.

Never could have happened if the officer had had one of the much touted (and not wanted) "smart" guns.
