Or shall I say Rambress?

https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/c...eal-her-car-with-toddlers-inside/95-570873334

We've got to stop glorifying incidents like these if we're ever going to cure our insane gun culture. A message needs to be sent that we don't live in an action movie and it's not a good idea to let a gun go off and put your kids at risk. I mean, she could've at least forced the guy at gun point to stop the car, but no, open fire!

I'm betting her kids are going to have trauma from this as well just because some gun-crazed chick thought she would feel bad-*** letting a gun go off.

Good for her! There's not a mother in this world that would let her children be taken (and then what?) if she had the ability to stop the kidnapper.

If her children have trauma, they will eventually understand, respect, and love their mother for saving their lives.
 
Yeah... it's preferable to have her kids and car stolen rather than stop it with a gun

If it were anyone else I'd suspect sarcasm.

Well, most anyone else. There are a few others around here.

Defending one's family is now what it takes to be called Rambo by the likes of you? What the **** is wrong with you?

What would happen if that woman were about the pull the trigger and the carjacker made a hard turn? The bullet could've gone right into the back seat. But Rambos and gun-toting Bubbas and Jim Bobs never think of that stuff.

I'm just tired of these scenarios being used as an example of why we need "freedumb" and that the possibility that she saved two kids from being kidnapped (she probably only needed to force him to stop at gunpoint) somehow justifies the countless gunned down in schools. I suspect the right-wingers are more happy a carjacker is bleeding on the ground than that the kids are safe. Heck, they don't even care that Trump kidnaps kids. What's the point of havin' a gun if ya can't draw some blood, amiright?

- The kids were "saved" from being kidnapped. The probability is 100% she stopped the kidnapping.
- As far as "only needed to force him to stop at gunpoint". What proof do you have that just pointing the gun at the criminal would make him stop the car in a safe manner?
- The rest of your post is some diatribe comment regarding the use of a weapon.

You seem to care more about the criminal that the victims of this incident.

bingo!
 
I have no issues with what the actions the mother took. The car jacking / kidnapping was stopped. The children were not hurt.

Glorifying? Are you serious? This story will be dropped by the national media in a day or two.

Here's an idea: If you want to stop "glorifying" something, how about we stop glorifying the mass murderers, whose names and exploits are published over and over, for weeks and months on end.

You seem to be confusing "real life" with an "action movie". Contrary to what you are implying, evil people do exist; and they sometimes confront good people. It happens every day.

....and it's not a good idea to let a gun go off and put your kids at risk. I mean, she could've at least forced the guy at gun point to stop the car, but no, open fire!

How nice for you in your comfy armchair to be able to "Monday morning quarterback" the game.

I'm betting her kids are going to have trauma....

Yes, being near a violent death can be traumatic. On a related note, it is also traumatic being kidnapped. Worse still if the kidnap victim is never returned to the parents, or returned in a pine box.

Prior to this event you would have called the mom a "Rambo" for even carrying a gun around her children. What could have happened if she hadn't had one at all?
 
nothing scarier in life than a mom protecting her kids

NOTHING

glad it all worked out....

and as far as the OP....

i almost think you are trying to punk on on this thread...you cant be this stupid or naive....ask 1000 mothers accross america if they had the same opportunity with the same circumstances, and 1000/1000 would have pulled the trigger

they may not have wanted to....probably 990/1000 would be in that category....but to protect their kids....oh yeah

a mothers instinct to protect their young is one of the strongest natural forces on the planet

best not to get in the way when they are in THAT zone

According to the article you cited, the mother did try to force the guy to stop the car but he refused. Who knows what would have happened if he had succeeded in kidnapping the children

Just as sometime truth is stranger than fiction, suddenly it is possible to find yourself in an action movie scenario.

This is not an example of what apologists for criminals call "...our insane gun culture". This is just one of the millions of examples of justified DGU.

Are you really siding with a kidnapper/car thief over a mother who had no choice other than to protect her children from an even more traumatizing if not deadly future?

You know what? This wasn't "an action movie". It was real life to that mother.

Perhaps you should join real life instead of wishing you were in some fantasy that doesn't exist where nothing life threatening ever happens to people.

If it were just her car driving off I might agree with you, but her kids were in the car.

some on the left see merely owning a gun for personal protection to be a crime. It sometimes comes down to the attitude that a kidnapper is forced to act like that because of an unjust society and its unfair for someone to shoot a criminal doing something "he couldn't help but do"

Adonis, you're making liberals like me look really bad, and I hate it.
If all the hand-wringing nonsense you're referring to had happened...

we might not be having this conversation.

But it didn't.
She got in the car and asked him to stop. He didn't stop. She shot him.
He is lucky to be alive because if it had been me or my wife, he would be a slab in the morgue because neither one of us would have missed his brain.

She wasn't RAMBO.
She was MAMA BEAR, and if you're married and have kids, take a look at how your wife reacts when someone threatens her kids.

In any case, I bet even money that jackass won't ever carjack anyone again.

PS: I used to live right off Camp Wisdom Road...it's actually not a bad neighborhood!
This lady probably goes to PTA meetings and brings a covered dish snack, I would bet money on it.

One more thing, I bet she hugged the Hell out of her kids afterward and apologized for scaring them but she probably also let them know that she was protecting them. That goes a VERY VERY long way in fixing any trauma they might have.
When kids know that their parents will protect them in the face of danger, they feel more secure.
