Just days after a guy took up arms, running out of his house barefoot, with a half-loaded magazine, and risked his life in defense of his fellow Americans.

Not to mention, literally, with no hyperbole, millions of other Americans more worthy than knucklehead. The person who volunteered their weekends at their local soup kitchen is a hundred times more worthy than him. Actually, millions of people who did nothing more than keep their yaps shut, go about their lives, and mind their own business are more worthy than him.

Yeah, for a recent one, how about Stephen Willeford who stopped the Church shooter in Sutherland Springs, TX?  Lots of people they could have chosen without resorting to some out of work NFL QB for purely political reasons.

"Married With Children" clips are getting hard to find for some reason, but Al Bundy had a whole eloquent "bit" on the guys who just go to work every day... and sell shoes or shuffle papers or whatever and are the real heroes.

It's nice to occasionally see politically correct decisions being beaten down in public.
