Scarborough Justifies: Parkland Deputy Didn't Go in Because he Was "Overmatched"
YouTube ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/23/2018 5:03:29 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough said he wasn't justifying the failure of the Parkland deputy to enter the school during the shooting. But that's exactly what Scarborough did.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough said:

"There actually was a 'good guy with a gun,' as the President and every NRA member will say. There was a good guy with a gun at a school. There was a law enforcement officer with a gun at the school. And he didn't go in. In part, I am sure, because he was overmatched. Now, that's no justification."

He didn’t go in because he’s getting ready to retire and didn’t want to take the chance. He probably had a Glock with 17 rounds and a shotgun.

Someone could make sure he has a nice strong belt and a nearby closet.

...He will need a “security guard” once the grieving parents fully digest this...

The coward has 6 Broward County Deputies guarding his house.

If “the good guy with a gun” is a yellow belly coward, it will not end well!

Why have a gun if you are not going to have the intestinal fortitude to use it?

Joe probably uses a gun holster to carry his extra hair gel.

I'd have to say that is a suppository accusation.

The kids that were shot were outmatched too. Not accepting excuses

So, the Deputy knew he was overmatched without seeing what the Perp was shooting? Was he the Amazing Kreskin?

I don’t recall addressing or troubling you in any way.

I was merely curious for what reasons you go down.

The allowable bandwidth had been exceeded. I contacted the webmaster who said there’d been a lot of traffic. He tripled the bandwidth, so we should be good for now.

Didn’t stop the dead coach, did it, Morning Slow?

Nor did it stop the brave JROTC cadets who used their bodies as shields.

Scarborough tries to defeat “good guy with a gun” argument by saying there was one at Parkland but he didn’t go in because he was “overmatched.”

More proof Scarborough's a democrat... he cares about the 'feelings' of the coward ... the lowlife who should be forced to repay the money he's been paid since he started working at the school. Poor guy - seems he thought his job was to be a 'school yard ornament'...

Maybe tomorrow Joe will express sympathy for the killer..( while trashing concerned parents want more school security - not just '20 more gun control laws'...) He's become so predictable he's moved into 'boring'...

Just like the cops at Columbine. Just hang around collecting a paycheck, don’t go in until the robot shows him dead on a TV monitor.
