MI: Armed Man who Saved Woman Honored by Warren Mayor

On 10 February, 2016, Didarul  Sarder, who was legally armed, used his handgun to stop a vicious knife attack on a woman in the GM facility in Warren, Michigan.  He likely saved her life.  Most of the action was caught on video.  GM has a "Gun Free" policy on their sites.  The original speculation was that Sarder would be fired.  There was enough of a public outcry for GM to make an exception to their policy.  Mayer Jim Fouts led the fight to insure that Sarder did not lose his job.  Fouts said that Sarder should be rewarded for his quick action. Today, 19 February, 2016, he was.   From mlive.com:

The mayor awarded Sarder with a proclamation at Warren City Hall Thursday.

"She was screaming and pleading for help, and one person made a difference," Fouts said. " ...I believe that he's the kind of guy I would want to be around ... We never know when we are going to need a Didarul Sarder, and in this case it was an instantaneous decision, he did it without hesitating ... and clearly he made a difference.

" _ I might also add that he properly exercised his second amendment rights ... Without his help, I believe this woman would have passed away."

Armed Citizen gets award from Mayor. Public opinion forces corporate/government giant to back down...

When a company chooses to have a policy denying the second amendment right to self defense, they should be sued if an employee gets murdered. It’s negligence.

I grew up not too far from Warren, and I’m proud of Mayor Fouts for recognizing the bravery of a legally armed Didarul Sarder, and reminding the knuckleheads among us that legally armed Americans can and DO save innocent lives!

Bravo Didarul Sarder and Mayer Jim Fouts!

As should "Gun Free Zone" officials. BUMP!

There was enough of a public outcry for GM Government Motors to make an exception to their policy.

Long delay by both local government and GM in taking appropriate action. But the fact they finally "got it" should make me feel better? Headshake

While GM did not insist that Sarder be fired, the corporate/government giant did not rescind its "gun free" policy. It insisted that Sarder return to work without his personal firearm, no matter how trustworthy and effective he had proven to be with it.

Idiot Government Motors! It's time to find another job.

Good Job Man!

As for Texas,
Free State of Mind!

God Bless Texas!
