Do you have any examples that an armed citizen had stopped a spree killer? I would like to know if this ever happened.

An off duty cop or an undercover cop that still has their gun on them are usually the ones you hear about that stops it at times.

Yah sometime during the 90's when I used to live in UT, their happen to have been an off duty or undercover cop in the SLC library that had to use his weapon on a guy before he went off on the public.

 

But like I said, its useually someone who's in law enforcement that just happens to be at the right place at the right time while you hear of it on the radio once a while, they just don't make as much of big deal out of it, thats why you don't hear of it as much.

Oh there was another one I just rememberd reading about sometime after 911 while that triggerd a lot of people off, while the white man was out killing muslims their was a lot of black men that were out killing the white man.

 

In NYC a black man tied everyone up in a bar and poored gas on them and was ready to light them up, there was two lesbian women that were able to untie them selves that were able to take him down.

 

That was nice to hear at the time, while the white man was also out killing gays after Bush's reverend gave those hate speechs god damning gays for the 911 attack. At a time there was so much killing going on that was real nice to hear of lives being saved instead.

Rocmike aka American Patriot, not bad for you. You have only posted for over 2 hours under your new alias Michael MacGilvray, over 3 hours under Bill with some dfrogpong and anonymous posts thrown in there. All repeating the same crap over and over and going to old questions and answers. Either you are posting under new aliases I haven't found yet or maybe you are getting a life. I am betting you are posting under new aliases I haven't found yet.

 
Bill Compton Thinks this answer is Helpful:

Although there are numerous examples of where armed individuals have stopped spree killers, naming the incidents here would be utter folly as there is a leftist liberal who prowls these boards and would abuse that information in the name of racist hate if she ever learned it.

 

I will not add to the fund of Occupier terror tactics.  Suffice that we are onto your games and your day has arrived -- for prison.
