Pass The Ammo

KIRKWOOD, Mo. (AP) - A gunman with a history of acrimony against civic leaders stormed City Hall during a council meeting Thursday night, killing two police officers and three city officials before law enforcers fatally shot him, authorities said. The mayor was critically injured in the rampage.

The victims at the meeting in suburban St. Louis were killed after the gunman rushed the council chambers and began firing as he yelled “Shoot the mayor!” according to St. Louis County Police spokeswoman Tracy Panus. Two people were wounded before Kirkwood police fatally shot him, she said.

Once again, a bunch of disarmed citizens lose to the armed criminal.

My favorite line of the whole article.

“They’re all just so sad, shocked by this,” said Father Robert Osborne of St. Peter Catholic Church. “This doesn’t happen in Kirkwood.”

This doesn’t happen in Kirkwood. This… does not happen in Kirkwood. Well… I dunno “father”. Looks like it happened to me. When will people pull their heads out of their asses, and understand that this happens anywhere, and everywhere.

Much like Smokey the Bear has his motto… Mine to you is… “Only you can prevent a slaughter”.

Go get your carry permit. You’re next.
