Clip from Ed Schultz's show where he is schooled on firearms and personal responsibility.
He was interviewing one of the TRUE hero's of the AZ shooting, CCW holder, “You’re damn right I would have shot him” Joe Zamudio.
Joe did everything right that a concealed carry permit holder should do.
The true hero's are those that tackled the shooter. What is galling is the media a) ignoring these true hero's (the media are not pursuing the hero's for interviews or profiles), and b) they sat in the "also-ran" seats at the AZ "rally" and never were personally cited by The Messiah.
I am sooo tired of the staffer that applied first aid being worshipped as a hero. Granted he says he is no hero, but it is obvious and clear that "guy" is not ducking the spotlight and is reveling in the attention.
As an aside, when Schultz says “it's horrific” at the 6:28 mark, I think he was talking about Zamudio’s willingness to use a gun - not the massacre.
(I will try not to hate you getting me to watch Ed Schultz)
Not sure what this young man did, as opposed to stopping anything more happening. The man was unarmed and subdued when he arrived.
Secondly, this is the first time that I actually agreed with Ed for the most part. He is a gun owner himself. He does not own a pistol.
I agree that we have problem with mental illness in this country at all levels and all age groups.
Horrific, was a reference to the shooting not the young man interviewed. IMO.
A very good interview. I guess Zemudio didn’t give the expected answers. He didn’t mince any words either.
Ed: “You would have used that firearm?”
Joe Zamudio: “You’re damn right.”
Zamudio should run for Sheriff!
I could have the wrong guy here but if this is the guy I’m thinking about, he emerged from the drug store as the dust was settling and the shooter was being held on the ground. He had clicked his safety off and was approaching when he realized the threat was over. Not sure I would classify that as “hero” but it is nice to know that there was a young man who was prepared and running to the sound of gunfire as opposed to running away from the sound of gunfire.
Just so you know who you are agreeing with, Ed Schultz shot his own hunting dog, either intentionally or by “accident”.
If you watched that video and agreed with Ed then there is no question you are a progressive like it or not.
PS: research who the guy was, where he was, and what he thought he was going to have to do b4 you come here.
“Not sure what this young man did, as opposed to stopping anything more happening.”
Skip ahead to 4:40 and you should realize it is NOT a question of what he did but what he was prepared to do had the shooter been able to shove another magazine in his handgun.
But then again, you probably stopped listening after 40 seconds after finding you agreed with an MSLSD host who himself very well indicates he suffers from mental illness..
Never got to the interview. Mr. Ed’s pontificating like a bad history teacher in a circa 1972 suburban high school sent me running for the escape button!
Question is why didn’t anybody at that rally have a gun to stop this madman?
Pray for America
I listened to the whole thing...did you?
The shooter was unarmed and subdued. This guy erroneousy thought the guy holding the gun was the shooter....
He wasn’t...
And he says that he was prepared to shoot the guy with the gun..
So talk about what is fact not fantasy...ok?
Nikos, were you with Ed Schultz when he shot his own hunting dog because he was angry at him?
It’s a good thing NY Rep. Peter King(R) hadn’t enacted his new gun control restriction prior to the Tucson shooting. Otherwise the armed Joe Zamudio would’ve been arrested and convicted of a felony for coming within 1,000 feet of Rep. Giffords during the massacre.
really?
Yes. Fact. Well known in the Fargo community. He has an anger problem. Ask his first wife.
