Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition

This is a story that the MSM will probably minimize because a courageous woman with a firearm stopped a lunatic from killing many people. There is relevance here to the Jihadi war against America. While this incident seems to be perpetrated by a deranged young man, we can expect individual attacks from home grown Jihadi.

It behooves everyone to be alert and not afraid to challenge odd behavior in public places. We cannot rely on law enforcement to protect us in our daily lives. Law enforcement is primarily reactive, not proactive. In other words, they usually show up after the shooting is over.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
By Cal Thomas

I have been waiting for this to happen. For years we have witnessed the carnage when innocents were mowed down at schools, colleges, shopping malls and post offices. The unarmed (disarmed?) were easy targets for crazed gunmen armed with grievances, weapons and ammunition.

Now someone has shot back, probably saving many lives. All of the gun-control laws that have been passed and are still being contemplated could not have had the affect of one armed, trained and law-abiding citizen on the scene like 42-year-old Jeanne Assam, a volunteer security guard at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. The gunman, 24-year-old Mathew Murray, had been expelled from the Youth With a Mission (YWAM) organization for health reasons, according to officials. Authorities say Murray vowed revenge in several Web postings, which copied abundantly from the manifesto written by Columbine High School killer Eric Harris before the 1999 school massacre.

In rants laced with profanity, Murray lashed out against Christians he said had "brought this on yourselves." He wrote that Christians "are to blame for most of the problems in the world." Does that qualify as a "hate crime"? Probably not as such designations are usually given only to "oppressed minorities."

It is Assam and not the shooter who received — and deserves — most of the media attention and praise. Calm and collected at a news conference, Assam detailed her movements and decision-making after hearing shots in the parking lot outside the church. She was especially attentive to possible danger after learning of the earlier shooting during which two people were killed at the YWAM facility several miles away. After hearing shots in the church parking lot, Assam said she walked about 100 yards through a hallway, hid herself and when Murray walked in, emerged from hiding and confronted him. "I was just asking God, bottom line, this is all you," she said. "It was so loud. … It was scary. But God was with me. I asked him to be with me. And he never left my side."

Assam is a former Minneapolis police officer who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon. She said she had been praying about what to do with her life and had volunteered to help with security at the 10,000-member church. She said, "I wasn't going to wait for him to do other damage. I knew what I had to do."
