Misguided elderly woman buys gun after attack.

[ileus]

Becomes rude toter vigilante cowboy wannabe with one gun strapped to her body.

Even though her physical wounds have healed, Christine has a painful memory to deal with, "I think about it a lot, but I am a very strong person, I'm not going to let this dictate my life, but it has changed my life," she said.

She says if her attacker comes back, instead of him looking down on her, he'll be looking into her barrel. "If anyone tries to do this to me again I will shoot them, no bones about it I will shoot them."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We know this woman is out for revenge, just looking to play cowgirl, should the elderly vigilante rule be applied here? Shouldn't there be a law against victims acquiring guns after an attack/robbery?

1. not worthy of thought

38. You thought about it; you're here. nt

2. Discuss it with yourself

You don't wanna know what I think of your opinion.

[dionysus]

3. bizarre post.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

6. Actually it is quite well done

satirizing multiple antis in one post. I assume you are not reading here enough to recognize that.

[dionysus]

12. no, i am not that familiar with the inner workings of this particular forum...

[ileus]

15. It's a riot after you learn all the characters.

It really is the funnest fun forum on the innerwebs.

[Hoyt]

34. Stick around & read posts like "what's your 'go to' gun in natural disasters like Hurricane Irene?"

Those that respond to such threads like to call themselves "progressives." I never thought of preparing to shoot fleeing victims of a natural disaster such as Irene, Katrina, etc., a progressive idea. But apparently some here do.

Then you get "serious" questions from the pro-guns-in-public "culture" like -- "What's wrong carrying a gun or two into a public park, on public streets, into churches and restaurants, and the like?"

It's an interesting forum, with some really unique views on our society in the 21st Century.

43. Those that respond to such threads like to call themselves "progressives."

uhm....probably because THEY are progressives.

[PavePusher]

46. "preparing to shoot fleeing victims of a natural disaster"

If you can cite this, do so, and I'll alert the mods of that user at once.

Otherwise, withdraw your vile accusation immediately.

[PavePusher]

47. "What's wrong carrying a gun or two into a public park, on public streets,...

...into churches and restaurants, and the like?"

Explain what is wrong with doing so. You have notably failed to do so.

50. Don't hold your breath for an answer. He normally posts, runs, and posts again.

He does not answer questions that he has to even remotely think about, they scare him.

51. Whoa, straw-man fu is strong with this one.

[SteveM]

39. This is the place to be if you want to see the face of...

raw prohibitionism -- sort of like what Ken Burns' documentary "Prohibition" revealed -- and cultural and regional bigotry. I have never been in a forum which regularly holds in ill repute some 80,000,000+ Americans.

"Rude toters" is a character. So is another who thinks some of the above millions are always "strapping on one or two." Then there are those who bristle as source citation which includes Fox, but have no problem using Brady Center data (an organization founded and led to this very day by GOPers). And of course the endless discussion about penis length or the lack thereof, and its relationship to gun "toting."

Quite a good show, coming from a "progressive" web site.

[Hoyt]

44. Yep, guns in public are such a fine "progressive" cause.

[Iktomiwicasa]

27. Presactly

[jmg257]

4. Guns are bad news for women.

What we need is a Solution.

[Glassunion]

5. +1

:rofl:

[ProgressiveProfessor]

7. Private firearms for self defense is a progressive value and an excellent thing for women

[jmg257]

8. Maybe they're bad news re: the elderly then? nt

[RC]

9. Actually no.

Private firearms for self defense is a Conservative value is not a very good thing for women because by the time they find the gun in their purse, they've already been assaulted and the assaulter is long gone, usually with their victim's gun.

[jmg257]

10. What if they don't carry them in their purses? Is it Ok then? nt

[We_Have_A_Problem]

14. Did you forget the sarcasm tag?

Or are you really that uninformed?

[ileus]

16. sarcasm tags are for suckers.

:sarcasm: :hi:

[ProgressiveProfessor]

17. Your assumptions are overly restictive and unwarranted

Self Defense for individuals by the individual is clearly progressive.

Your assumption of CCW only in a purse is silly and ignores many other scenarios.

[PavePusher]

18. You seem to make a lot of assumptions in one sentance.

I'm sure you have some statistically significant numbers to demonstrate the validity of your claim, amIrite?

[RC]

19. Those that think everyone should be armed make a lot of assumptions also

Hand guns are the problem. More hand guns are not the answer. The more legal hand guns there are, the more hand guns the bad guys have access to. That is a fact.

[PavePusher]

21. So what? Where's your concern for all the other items used in crimes? n/t

[jmg257]

22. When you find someone who thinks everyone should be armed,

be sure to take that up with them.

[We_Have_A_Problem]

23. Do you have any evidence of anyone...

...saying everyone should be armed?

None? Why am I not surprised....


Once again, an anti makes a false claim...and you wonder why your side is getting ass-raped...

[ileus]

29. They don't have access to mine....that is unless

I'm considered the bad guy...I mean, I know some people here consider anyone with a gun the bad guy, some even consider any gun owner either a criminal or a soon to be criminal. Some consider anyone that's willing to fight and not bend over, the bad guy...Criminals are the problem, society needs to make itself less inviting to the bad elements that walk the streets. To some this woman is just an elderly old bat with a gun, someone that should be disarmed. Some want her to armor up and fight the good fight.

[SteveM]

41. "...everyone should be armed..." That is reactionary, Get ye to another forum. nt

[spin]

28. Actually the secret is for the lady to have the gun in her hand in the purse ...

as she walks anywhere that is dangerous.

Then if she is attacked she simply points the purse at the attacker and shoots through it.

[Hoopla Phil]

33. My mother has a purse like that. There is also a warranty that if

you ever have to shoot through the purse they will replace if for free.

[DWC]

37. So does my wife and grown daughters

That is why they carry hammerless, jam free revolvers in their purses with a spare speed loader.

Semper Fi,

[SteveM]

40. I you ever choose to rob a woman of her firearm, don't try her purse...

...it probably ain't there.

"Private firearms for self-defense is a Conservative value is not a very good thing for women..."

Actually, gun-control didn't even make it into the Democratic Party Platform until some years after the Zombies charted. And just how progressive is it to proscribe what is "good" or "not good" for women? Who are you?

[Callisto32]

52. Females....

clearly incapable of competent weapon retention because they...carry purses?

Are you familiar with the old robot saying "does not compute"?

[ileus]

13. Oh dear, Are you a Liberal, Progressive, Democrat, or democrat.

My goodness explain to me your politics...


I could see Sharon Angle saying this because we know her political views, but a fellow DUer? You're not supposed to think like that. So I must ask that you admit to being a teabagger. Guns kill people.

[slackmaster]

11. What you did there, I see it!

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

31. ROFLcopter

[spin]

36. LOL (n/t)

[Hoopla Phil]

32. That was funny.

I really did lol.

[Atypical Liberal]

20. She should have just accepted her beating and given the theif what he wanted!

Come on, ileus, aren't you keeping up with the memos?

Ms. Hollar should not have fought back. She should have just given the armed criminal her purse and submitted to the beating he gave her and been thankful to come out of it all with her life.

Doesn't Ms. Hollar know that the contents of her purse are not worth anyone's life? What's a little beating compared to that misunderstood, pistol-wielding attacker's life?


Ms. Hollar has learned her lesson the hard way. Without a gun, when confronted with a violent attacker you only have three choices: Run, submit, or engage in a physical contest of strength with your attacker.



I guess Ms. Hollar has decided submission is hard on the face.

[ileus]

30. She did the first time....that's not in her future plans.

[Hoopla Phil]

35. Or the rape. As has been posted in this forum, rape doesn't really hurt.

[petronius]

24. I hope she's not really carrying it in her new purse, and that she's engaging in the

ongoing training and practice needed to be able to carry safely. And it'd be even nicer if the police caught the mugger...

[formercia]

25. Good for her

Getting some practice:

42. "...in his toodles." LOL! nt

[Iktomiwicasa]

26. She needs...

...at least another gun or two.

[alp227]

45. the onus is on the state to prove revenge intent.

yes i may be a socialist leftist but hey constitutional rights INCLUDING THE 2nd AMENDMENT are absolute unless another person's (not corporation's) rights are harmed.

[gejohnston]

48. right on

although isn't socialist leftist kind of redundant? As for me, I took this quiz and it says I'm more to the left than Ralph Nader and more libertarian that Ron Paul. Go figure.
