Parts of this are quite graphic:

Police, firefighters and neighbors.  All of them.

Yes, heroes all.  I salute them.

It's refreshing to know there is reason still to believe the word "community" is not a dirty word.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

      Agreed. Stirring.

      I frequently see actions like these caught on video with the locale a 3rd world country, and think to myself that there is some community gain realized by people being willing to take "foolish risks"  for strangers... it's nice to see it in a major metro area that should hypothetically have the "hero" civilized right the heck out of it's gene pool already.
