GOOD GUY WITH A GUN....


FACEBOOK COMMENT:


Not mine, but... Awesome:
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun - unless there happens to be an even worse guy with a gun who doesn't like the competition, or a slightly less bad bad guy who thinks he's a good guy, or an only moderately bad guy with a gun who wanted to stop the first guy, but was stopped by a fairly good guy with a gun having a bad day, or a total asshole with a gun who wants to stop everybody, or a sweetheart of a guy with a gun who just lost his job, or a reasonable guy who thought he was going to stop the bad guy but was fired upon by the even worse guy, or a deranged psychopath with a gun who doesn't care who he's stopping, or a super patriot who thinks the first guy is warring on Christmas, or an ignorant guy with a gun who thinks the third guy is a Muslim because the third guy dresses strangely and so the ignorant guy tries to kill him but misses and wounds the sweetheart of a guy - who fires back and hits the original bad guy by mistake, or an intoxicated college kid with a gun who thinks it might be fun to shoot squirrels but doesn't notice the fairly good guy hiding behind the bush, or a homeless veteran with a gun who's in the middle of a battlefield flashback, or a fathead coming out of Guns R Us with his new semiautomatic and a powerful hankerin' to use it in some headline grabbing way, or a hard working guy with a gun who's tired of illegal aliens and thinks the schizophrenic guy is one and tries to kill him but accidentally hits the college kid who's too shit faced to know what he's doing and who fires back while bleeding to death - accidentally hitting the veteran who now thinks that the fairly good guy is Viet Cong, or an NRA official with a gun who stops by to sell all parties some cop killer ammo and thinks the whole situation would make great good guy/bad guy PR but doesn't know who to kill first, or a toddler with a gun he thinks it's a toy, or a first grade teacher with a gun who's just received a poor performance review after 25 years of classroom success because some politician thought he would get some votes by creating an incredibly stupid new assessment program, or a guy with a hammer, or a toddler with a gun that IS a toy and who thinks he can get the bad guy with it but is gunned down by the third guy - who realizes what he's done and shoots himself without realizing that the bullet will exit his skull only to graze the second guy - who goes postal and starts killing everyone, (or the poor law enforcement officer who finds him or her self in the middle of the shootout, and doesn't know who's who...)
'Cause the good guy is always you, and the bad guy is always THAT guy..

The Daily 202: Barbara Bush and Donald Trump responded very differently to the AIDS epidemic

Barbara Bush and Donald Trump responded very differently to the AIDS epidemic Barbara Bush, then first lady, holds an infant infected with AIDS during a 1989 visit to Grandma's House in Washington. (Dennis Cook/AP)   BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA:  Paying tribute to the late Barbara Bush on Wednesday, Donald Trump noted she was married to George H.W. Bush for 73 years.  “I’ll never beat that record,” said the president, who has been married three times and faces allegations that he cheated on his third wife with a Playboy centerfold shortly after the birth of their son. That’s not the only difference between them. -- Thirty years ago, in 1988, Mrs. Bush persuaded her husband to visit an AIDS clinic during his presidential campaign and acknowledge the epidemic ravaging the country. Then, just two months after becoming first lady, she paid a historic visit to one of the nation's first homes created to car
