LEAA TEd dEEdS THE LAW ENfORCEMENT ALLIANCE Of AMERICA. aw enforcement, probably more than any other profession, knows this one truth — evil exists. Whether that evil is crashing planes with thousands dead, or the death of one little child, cops see evil on a more personal basis than almost anyone else — save victims. The only proven, effective way of stopping murderous evil is violent action. There’s a valuable group — guardians — who will voluntarily put themselves between evildoers and their victims, between the wolves and the sheep. These guardians are, for lack of a better description often called sheepdogs. Whether a cop, Evil Exists i 6 l 5 3 27 THINK ON THIS: service member, firefighter or civilian, there is something very special about the heart of the person who goes toward danger, literally into harm’s way to try and help. At a high school in Pearl, Mississippi, evil showed up ready to kill again. A faculty member grabbed his gun and held the killer at gunpoint. Without firing a shot, this sheepdog kept the death count down to two. The killer’s next planned stop was a nearby junior high school to kill even more. A would-be murder spree at a middle school dance in Edinboro, Pennsylvania with 240 children present was thwarted when a restau- rant owner grabbed his shotgun and swiftly acted, stopping the attack and forcing the killer to surrender. This killing spree was stopped at one. In the mass murder that never happened at Santana High School in Santee, California, evil was confronted and stopped early on in the attack. A parent at the school — an off-duty San Diego Police officer — reacted to the emerging threat with his gun, keeping the death toll down to two. Appalachia Law School, evil killed again. Two sheepdogs — civilian gun owners — went into the jaws of the attack and stopped it cold — without firing a shot. The death toll kept at two. Contrasts 11 casualties at the Amish school in Pennsylvania. This adult incarnation of evil methodically killed little girls. 24 casualties at the Northern Illinois University attack. 39 casualties at the Columbine school incident — no sheepdogs. 55 casualties at the murder spree at Virginia Tech — another “gun-free” zone. 13 casualties at the Westroads Mall by a fame-seeking killer who wanted to go out in style. Unchallenged, this killer moved through the mall laying waste at will! 45 casualties at the Luby’s restaurant massacre in Texas — a would-be sheepdog didn’t have her gun with her (back then it was illegal in Texas). A cretin killed during an Illinois church service when he took the minister’s life. Illinois is one of only two states left still prohibiting concealed carry permits for “average” law abiding citizens. Zero dead, six injured at the Tacoma Mall shooting spree. One armed civilian (there may have been a second) took action to stop the evildoer who told police to “follow the screams.” A killer’s spree was derailed when an off-duty officer who had his gun and the courage to use it went into harms way at Trolley Square Mall in Utah. Tragically, five innocents were killed. Taking his attack into a posted “gun-free” zone, this predator was stopped from killing many more by an armed sheepdog. An armed female civilian sheepdog saved lives when she confronted evil and shot him at the New Life Church in Colorado. Need more examples? Recently a workplace attack in Houston, Texas was thwarted with only one injury. The would-be killer was confronted by two employees with guns and permits to carry them. They gave the attacker something else to worry about — incoming rounds. Remember 9/11? Inside a self-defense-free zone — airplanes — the terrorists, armed with box cutters, seized planes they then used to kill thousands. Back then cockpits were gun-free. After 9/11 we tragically learned this policy made the situation more dangerous for everyone except the bad guys. CONTRAST WITH: uns are not the problem — ineffective laws are. Our laws are targeting precisely the wrong people, forcing good guys to become easy prey for evil killers. We must stop this madness before one more innocent life is needlessly lost. Brave people willing to act can stop rampaging killers. We shouldn’t be forced to be helpless when facing evil. Let our precious sheepdogs be armed. 54 Stupid LawS G * WWW.AMERICANCOPMAGAZINE.COM • JULY/AUGUST 2009
