As a 77 year old Vietnam combat vet, I just want to congratulate my brother on his heroism and skill in saving the children.
Well done!

Well done sir!
You protected those kids and did yourself proud.
And the perp is beck in the House of Many doors rooming with Bubba.
This is why I support veterans.
And learn the lesson here, NRA. Had this dumbass, whoās life is really gonna suck now, a gun you (NRA) would be saying āItās not appropriate to speak of gun control at this timeā. This incident points up the difference. The kids are alive and you (NRA) are deprived of your wished for carnage.

Excellent example of a well tuned brain and training being the best weapon of all. Better than any āgood guy with a gunā.
Carry on soldier!

Whenās the last time youāve heard reports of a āmass school stabbingā?
This incident shows why you donāt.

There was one mass-stabbing incident in China. I think 21 people were stabbed by a crazed lunatic. Nobody died though.
Itās simple really. A gun can fire a projectile that travels around 3000 feet per second. A shooter can fire off as many projectiles as fast as his finger can pull the trigger. A handgun magazine typically contains 13 rounds. An assault rifle magazine contains 30 rounds.
There is NO OTHER comparison to any other weapon available to the general public.

haha! Throw all 7 Harry Potters at him.
Easy for you to figure after the fact. Itās not like you can ask the assailant āHey wait a sec while I figure out my strategy hereā.
The manās 75 yrs old and by his looks he may have limited mobility. I think he did very well. Why criticize him?

You could toss a shoe at himā¦
Just thinkā¦if Ben Carson was there, he wouldāve rallied the kids to rush the guy with the knife! āHe canāt get all of us!ā

Contrast this event with Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Charleston and many, many others. Take away guns from the equation, everyone lives.
Puts the lie to the NRAās lunatic mantra, āGuns donāt kill people.ā

The Kunming railway station attack on China in March 2014: 29 people killed, 130 injured, by 4 perpetrators who also died. Previous attacks in China (at schools) w/ knives, hammer, cleaver from 2010-2012 left 25 dead, 113+/- injured. While your facts on deaths is wrong, I agree with you point.
The roomful of children enjoying a home school chess club meeting drew his focus and angerā¦
So even home schooling your kids canāt protect them from the evils of public school. The kids, BTW, were ages 7-13. Other interesting bits from the original article:
I knew he was right-handed. He was whittling on his left armā with the one in that hand, āmaking small cuts. He was trying to scare me, and he did.ā But if Brown attacked, āI knew which hand it was coming fromā¦
I grabbed him and threw ā¦ Somehow he wound up on a tableā with the knife in his left hand pinned under his body, Vernon said. āI hit him on the (right) collarbone with my closed handā until Brown, his arm numbed by the blows, dropped that knife.
You go, Grandpa! And last, but interesting to those of us of a certain age, did you know this was a thing?
ā¦charges ofā¦aggravated battery to a person over age 60ā¦

That was my thoughts also. As a retired librarian of 30 years, I would appreciate someone like this hero to come visit me and the children!!
Yeah, no. Grimmer than that.
