    If I remember properly there was a Canadian that pulled a gun from their truck and held it on someone he saw attempting to abduct someone at a mall. The police later went after the guy that prevented the abduction. I think Runkle even did a video about that.

    Bravo for him though.

    We need more events like this to showcase how good people with guns can help the world.
    Not to mention being charged with a hate crime as all dead guys were black

    Same as those posthumous gallantry awards to two passed away SAS troopers. Battle of Mirbat 1972.
    The conditions for a VC get tighter and tighter. The NZ SAS trooper who ran out into the exposed Taliban beaten zone and dragged out a wounded guy met the two-factor criteria of disrupting the fight and bringing out friendlies which reduced a distraction. Just being a good trigger man isn't enough.

    From the videos the Colour Sergeant did not engage the enemy, but he was instrumental in ramrodding the Kenyans.
    Jean Charest after coming a distant second to Pierre Poilievre. “You deserve a clean slate and the opportunity to unite the membership. ... Only Liberals benefit from a divided (Conservative Party).” Will the malcontents listen?
