I am surprised how Attorney Corley was not charged for firing 2 more shots after the robber turned...am I reading this wrong?
Well i guess he is an attorney afterall [sic].
This can't be right.
They told us that the streets would flow with rivers of blood and that every minor disagreement was going to turn into a full on high noon shoot out.
so true...You can't believe shit they say. When the AWB was about to expire, they said you'd be able to buy AK's on every street corner. Do you know how long I stood on the street corner on Sep 14, 2004, looking for someone to come by selling AK's? Nothing. Not so much as a Tec-9.
Anti's: you can tell they're lying if you see their lips move.
Hits were in neck and torso, indicating the attacker turned to FACE Corley. RIF
Well, I guess being there, he and the cops have a greater grasp of what went down than you do.

anyone else surprised this is on msnbc?
First, let me make it clear that the perp got what he deserved, whether he was facing toward, away, or standing on his head, and Corley is a hero. But, that said . . .
Why would you conclude that he had to be turned toward Corley if he was shot in the neck and torso? You can obviously see (and therefore shoot) someone's neck if they're facing away from you, and "torso" simply refers to the central part of the body, also easily shot from behind. The article simply says that he was shot in the abdomen (also possible from behind), then turned and was shot in the neck and torso. So, if he was facing toward Corley for the latter two shots then it would imply that he was facing away from him for the first and derrick_lui's point is valid either way.
Firearms laws have been growing more relaxed across the United States for years. Gun-control activists have failed in efforts to re-enact the nationwide ban on certain semiautomatic rifles they call “assault weapons.”
When someone is waving a gun and demanding wallets, it's not unreasonable to shoot him in the back first...
some of the comments in the poll page just boggle my mind. Do people honestly believe that if there were no guns, there would be no violence?
Man stabs, kills 8 children outside school in China
The suspect, identified as a 41-year-old doctor with personal and professional problems, is in custody in Fujian province.
March 23, 2010|By Barbara DemickReporting from Beijing — At least eight children were slain by a man brandishing a knife outside an elementary school in the southeastern Chinese province of Fujian, authorities said Tuesday.
The suspect was identified as Zheng Mingsheng, a 41-year-old unemployed doctor who was said to be depressed over personal and professional failings, officials said at a news conference in Nanping, where the attack took place. He was arrested.
The rampage began at 7.20 a.m. as the children were waiting to go to school. According to unconfirmed reports by bloggers, the suspect was stopped by a gym teacher, a jogger and a security guard, one of whom knocked the knife out of his hand with a mop.
The victims were reported to be mostly first-graders. Three children died at the scene and five died later at a hospital, authorities said. At least five other children were injured.
This appeared to be the most serious stabbing rampage at a Chinese school since 2004, when a string of such incidents left at least 10 students dead. China has strict gun-control laws, but attacks involving knives are not uncommon.

Yes, absolutely - and I thought my initial statement would have made it clear that I agree with you. I'm just trying to piece together what really happened from the limited information provided in the article.
Her group posts news accounts of concealed-weapons permit holders allegedly involved in firearms deaths on a part of its Web site called “Concealed Carry Killers.” The site says 130 civilians and nine police officers have been killed and 13 mass shootings have been carried out by people with concealed-weapons permits since May 2007. Helmke, of the Brady Campaign, cited the work of Rand’s group in a recent blog post that mocked the NRA for saying concealed weapons permit holders “are all ‘law-abiding’ citizens.’”
No, they will just make up some numbers and try to refute this... No one will question their source or validity and it will get twice the circulation as the positive article.Paul Helmke must be spitting and sputtering. "But, but...!"
