Mika on Church Shootings: 'Inane' To Think Armed Citizen Can Make a Difference

NewsBusters.org - Media Research CenterDon't confuse Mika Brzezinski with the facts. She's anti-gun and is not about to let some stunning counter-evidence change her mind.

If ever there was an illustration of how an armed citizen can make a difference, it is the case of Jeanne Assam, the brave woman who took out the killer at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. And yet . . .

On today's Morning Joe, Mika -- in newsreader mode -- dutifully reported the incident. But when Joe Scarborough sought to draw the logical inference, Mika put her anti-gun foot down.

View video here.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Saved hundreds of lives!

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Yes, she did.

SCARBOROUGH [taunting]: Hundreds!

BRZEZINSKI: Alright. Police say it appears that shot only wounded Murray, that she only wounded him, and then he possibly took his own life.

SCARBOROUGH: One person with a gun can make a big difference.

BRZEZINSKI: Oh gosh, no! No, no, no.

SCARBOROUGH: Know what I mean? Know what I mean, Willie [Geist]?

WILLIE GEIST: They were quick to point that out yesterday.

BRZEZINSKI: No, no, no, no, no. Camera stays here.

SCARBOROUGH: One person with a gun in the right place can make a big difference.

GEIST [ever the conciliator]: For good and for bad.

SCARBOROUGH: For good and for bad.

BRZEZINSKI: You know, that is the most inane statement I have ever heard.

What Brzezinski doesn't get

What Brzezinski doesn't get is that it doesn't take a gun to make a difference... just the possibility that someone has one will usually do the trick. I've had a concealed carry permit since 2004, and can count on one hand, minus a couple of fingers, the number of times I've actually carried a weapon. But the fact that a lot of people in my area have permits is a good reason for criminals to look for victims elsewhere.

Notice that most gunmen, including suicidal types like the kid in Omaha, or a nutjob like the guy in the church shootings, don't go shooting up gun shops, rifle ranges, police stations, skeet competitions, or other public places where a lot of folks are likely to shoot back. Even in their suicidal or delusional minds, they know to go where the unarmed sheep are, and if the word got out that a lot of people going shopping or praying were armed, that would be two more target areas off the list.

you da man!

Only wounded

Mika may not know that being "only wounded" can take a person out, and may have led the perp to modify his own life plans, so to speak. If she watches the video of herself, she can recalibrate her sense of inanity.

Liberals don't care what you do, as long as it's mandatory.  -Franksam

"only" wounded?

I wasn't a witness and haven't seen any footage, but perhaps the woman was adept with her piece and actually meant to wound, rather than kill, the perp.  I guess Mika thinks she should have aimed for the head...

No, Mika thinks she should

No, Mika thinks she should have thrown harsh words at an armed murdered. Or maybe not. After all, harsh words are torture, aren't they???

Sounds like a Far Side

Sounds like a Far Side cartoon.  I can just imagine a fat woman with horn-rimmed glasses and a bee-hive hairdo telling that perp off.

Civilians are always angry

Civilians are always angry that the cops don't just shoot the gun out of the criminal's hand...you know, like they do in the old western movies. My guess is she shot enough times to "stop him," and no more. If she wanted to definitely kill him, she would have emptied her gun.

And am I the only one here who would love to smack that smug little smile off Mika's face?

Smug little twit

No, MB, you're not the only one.

I don't know about cops,

I don't know about cops, but military are trained (for handguns) to shoot "center of mass". In such an extreme situation, it's laudable that she hit him at all (I guess training does count).

She probably figures....

....that diplomacy will work.  Just talk to the criminal nicely and he will say he's sorry for disturbing her and go away.

Incorrect Statement

That's where you're dead wrong. Little Ms. Mika would make a diving grab for a gun at the first sign of a threat to her. Most of the so-called anti's would do the same. Quite a few years ago, the highly regarded Jane Fonda and the eminently sane Ted Turner confronted a burglar in their mansion... WITH BLAZING HANDGUNS! When called to task for spewing anti-gun rhetoric yet blasting away without hesitation when THEY were threatened, Janey replied to the effect that "gun control is for other people". This is the attitude of the most vocal anti's. They want everyone disarmed - except themselves or those they employ for "protection". Look at Rosie the Mouth as a prime example.

Mika doesn't have a single clue. And SHE DOESN'T WANT ONE! Being ignorant is one thing. Actively courting ignorance and then being proud and self-righteous about it is something else altogether.

The only thing "gun control" means is sight alignment, breath control, steady trigger squeeze, and HITTING YOUR TARGET!!! As exemplefied by Ms. Assam...

Hey BRZEZINSKI, press one for TRUTH

Sorry Mika, A gunman on the lose shooting Teenagers was stopped by an Armed citizen, a woman.

You can't spin this one......you cannot even cover the story without discussing how the Gunman was stopped.   All the alphabet Networks ran with this Story, now they gotta own up to the Conclusion....the Gunman was stopped short, The Nebraska Mall "Gun Free Zone" depended upon the killer to stop killing.....this story was totally Different, and you have to report it the way it happened.  

Oh, and the Woman that stopped the killer, wasn't an Insurgent....sorry, can't use that one.

Why don't you draw a parrallel to the Utah Mall shootings and how IT was stopped by a Man and a Gun ?

Gun Free Zone at VT, 30+....Gun Free Zone in Nebraska 8...Gun toting zone in Colorado  2.   That's reporting facts, without a Spin.

Hipocrisy

If Brzenzski's life was on the line she would see things differently. Talk is cheap!

 

Look, if the MSM want to

Look, if the MSM want to make a difference (they don’t) they would stop posting every thing these nut cases write, say, dress, talk to their friends, neighbors, school mates.

It is all about the agenda. They want to do away with guns,and if they cant do that, then they will continue to make money (ratings) on the deaths. Even at the expense of more deaths!!!

Is it any wonder why every time they look at these people they have some type of Columbine connection. They have looked at the videos or read the ranting of these A holes. They want to be “famous” look at the mall killer. They know, that their worthless life will be on national TV for days or weeks. They are willing to kill you.. and them selves for the infamy.

I agree Chandler, if there were a shooter around she would be hiding behind me and my gun... Talk is.. cheep..

inane  \i-'nān\

adj. 1. bewildering, puzzling, 2. incomprehensible to people of either limited intelligence or stubborn adherence to views that contradict fact.

LOL, that's awesome.

I guess she was correct after all.

The fact....

...that the shooter was stopped hurts the liberal's anti-gun propaganda, for you see if truth be told they would've preferred that 50-75 people had been killed because their politics come before anything else.  What a powerful story this would've been right before Christmas about how gun crazed Americans are and how we must take extreme measures at the Federal and State levels to prevent this from happening again.

The fact that this nut was stopped but a WOMAN(!!) with a gun can only hurt the Leftists because here is PROOF that murderers can be stopped in their tracks by an armed citizenry.  And citizens with weapons is a bad thing.

dancing in the blood of the victims

That's what the Limosine Liberals do.

The realy nasty fact is that the cops, FBI, etc. have documented that nearly a million times a year (that's right - MILLION) a citizen stops a crime with a gun and the MSM hides this from the public because if flies in the face of their made up facts. Knowing this and periodically publishing some of the accounts of this citizen action would dispose the general public towards what works not some utopian idiocy where writing something on a piece of paper makes it so.

To elaborate on this fact,

To elaborate on this fact, there are over TWO million defensive uses of firearms per year, many not involving a shot being fired. http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcdguse.html

But you don't hear about these very often, do you? It's just another thing that doesn't fit the LSM agenda.

The Closed Mind Erects Strong Barriers

While I agree on their agenda

It's important to also keep in mind the fact that gun owners, despite the caricature to the contrary, tend to fear confrontation. The legal consequences of even pointing a weapon at a possible crook, much less taking a shot at someone, can be a nightmare. Naturally, this kind of thing can lead to gunowner reluctance to even report incidents to the police.

But even with that stuff factored-in, we should see more reports about this kind of thing happening if the news media were halfway-honest about how-many times it happens. It's also VERY subjective IMO what stories featuring self-defense remain "local" and what stories become "national." Because of the good outcome, this one is actually an anomaly. I'm sure we all share the same suspicions about the agenda behind all this (hint hint! Gold-mine research area, MRC! Enslave some college-student interns under the right master and you'll see!).

Anyway, if I were a TRULY annoying person (and, I'll admit, if I were a bit less-lazy) I'd post once a week on that NB "wrap up" thread with both NRA's "The Armed Citizen" and DRC-Net's "This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories." But that would be too-controversial & flame-war-intensive to manage every-week, even for the likes of me...

Everything you said is

Everything you said is spot-on Sarc.

Every time I even consider a "what if I had to shoot someone" scenario, even with a military background and living in Florida, I shudder at the potential reprecussions to me for such justified self defense. So I have to assume that you are correct that many righteous gun uses go unreported.

How many heinous gun crimes do you hear about? Half a dozen per year?  How many positive gun use stories? None? Even locally, likely 99% of the gun stories heard are negative. Even the very few positive ones are spun in a negative context (like they're trying to do with Ms. Assam in MN).

As for posting from America's 1st Freedom, do you know of a link to go to? I read the stories (cover to cover) but don't know of a web source. This would be an invaluable source to refer the uninformed to.

"BRZEZINSKI: Alright. Police say it appears that shot only wounded Murray, that she only wounded him, and then he possibly took his own life."

The shot "only wounded" the gunman.

..but the woman stopped the freak..

..enough so that he took himself out..

Either way, the woman is a hero. And she stopped him. With a gun.

Do we need finger puppets to explain this to liberals?

Notice the absence of a Number ?

The lady Security Guard shot this guy several times, yet there is No mention of how many times this guy was shot ?.......but there is mention of him possibly shooting/killing himself.

Yet we get Details by the quadrillion on Britney or Paris Hilton, a Detailed Autopsy on Peterson's 3rd wife, but we can't get a number from a Police report or from an interview of the lady who saved the day for some.  

If the guy was shot 5 times, killing himself may have been to end the Pain he was feeling.

She was an armed VOLUNTEER security guard. (former Minniapolis cop)

She is an ex-cop who

She is an ex-cop who volunteered to provide security after the church received the threat - hence, she was an "armed citizen". And her status is irrelevant. She was there with a gun and she stopped this maniac. Period. Any armed CCW holder could have and would have done the same. This murdering moron would have found another "soft" target if he had the slightest intimation that there was someone there who would be shooting back. It has already been pointed out that the most heinous criminal misuse of firearms ALWAYS occurs at "gun-free zones", where the likelihood of armed resistance to their murdering intend is infinitesimal. Safe places like schools, malls, and now churches.

Dear Mika, You're dumb. Love, Iowa Boy

I live in Iowa but, I work at a radio group in Omaha. One of our station's Account Executives was in the store where the shootings occured. She and six other shoppers were quickly moved to a store room by a Von Maur employee. My wife's 12 year-old cousin was just outside the entrance to store when the shooting started and was told to "run like hell" by an unarmed secuirty guard.

The staff of Von Maur had an emergency plan for just such and occassion. Omaha PD sent every available unit and arrived in less than six minutes. Some made it in 4. Yet, in spite of every procedure followed to the letter by the store, police, and emergency personel, eight innocent people died.

The shooter picked his killing ground for a reason. The mall is a no-gun zone. Those people were sheep for slaughter and could offer no resistance. If just one person with a legal conceal-carry permit had been in that store and been armed, it is very possible that fewer people would have died.

unknown heroes

My brother in Omaha told me last weekend that his second daughters' wedding could have much different. His first daughter is a Omaha police officer and was on her way to work when she just happened to make a quick stop at the Von Maur store. When she heard the shots being fired she immediately began to tell others to leave the building and escorted many in the store out during the carnage. Wonder how many more unknown heroes were in the store?

Iowa boy

The Difference in Iowa, was that the Killer made the decision to stop killing people, in the Colorado church shootng, a Security Guard made the decision that no more were going to be killed.   

Un-armed Security, is NOT Security.

Can't hide her true colors

"Alright. Police say it appears that shot only wounded Murray, that she only wounded him, and then he possibly took his own life."

I want to know what her little innuendo meant! you can tell she is trying to make something out of nothing, I've watched the video 5 times and you can see the sneer while she says it. You can tell she wants to put down this hero security lady some where, some how, it is like watching someone grasping for straws - that stopping the gun man was the wrong thing to do. You can bet that their ilk wanted that gun man to kill as many religious people as he could (as long as it wasn't a fanatical muslim that is).

One of Michelle Malkin's

One of Michelle Malkin's updates stated that the gunman was wearing a tactical helmet and body armor, although other versions just list him as wearing a raincoat.  If helmet, armor, and rifle was the outfit, then even wounding the guy while advancing with a handgun seems not only consistent to the situation, but commendable.

What a lady

"When the gunman entered New Life Church, she said, she took cover and drew spiritual and physical strength from her religious faith. As church members ran away, Assam said, she had no intention of fleeing."

This is a fascinating story of a courageous woman with an iron will.

I'm sure NOW will give her numerous awards and speaking opportunities. Y'know, because everyone agrees that she's a bona-fide, 100% hero that single-handedly saved many lives at the risk of her own.

I'll have you know that I personally witnessed a NOW demonstration in front of the Whitehouse during the Clinton Years.

There were probably a dozen of these women (they clustered very close together, and I saw the TV camera there brought up very close to them, in order to fill the shot and make it appear much more crowded then it was). Anyway, they were chanting about Clinton's demeaning behavior towards women.

Psche. They were actually chanting "Five, six, seven, eight.. WHITEWATER IS NO WATERGATE!!" I firmly attest that I actually saw and heard this.

For the record, I don't believe the "rape" accusations, but it's without question that Clinton was a womanizer, and abused his power to get cheap sex from women, which is supposedly an unforgiveable sin to feminists.

Someone said "Inconsistency is the hobgoblin of small minds". I cannot imagine any minds being any smaller.

For the record, I don't

For the record, I don't believe the "rape" accusations, but it's without question that Clinton was a womanizer, and abused his power to get cheap sex from women, which is supposedly an unforgiveable sin to feminists.

In the eyes of the law, abusing power for sex IS considered rape, in most states, albeit under different names. Many states don't have the word 'rape' in the lawbooks, because of a (former?) connotation of the word in the federal realm (must be perpetrated against a female, by a male).

It is most often applied to employers, teachers (college prof's and their students is illegal in many states), law enforcement, adult/minor roles (Hockey coaches and their players) and other roles of power, real or imagined.

Mika's a fool

Mika Brzezinski is a child of the inverse Enlightenment standards brought about by the Marxist university system in America.  She didn't study journalism, she studied polemics, and never knew the difference.

She lives in the dangerous dream world of thoughtless, poisonous pacifists - like the ones who got Britain half blown up by Hitler before they came to their senses and fought back during WWII.

ramming -- I understand

ramming -- I understand what you are trying to say but..

 like the ones who got Britain half blown up by Hitler before they came to their senses and fought back during WWII.

is historically inaccurate. Britain declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939 after Germany invaded Poland.

The problem was, the country had ignored Churchill, and spent the previous 15 years disarming while totalitarian monsters grew bold.

Therefore England didn't have the military might to fight back effectively, until the US entered the war on December 1941, thus ensuring the ultimate victory of the allies.

Another MSM Agenda-Driven Opportunity

Instead of focusing on this as a "hate crime" as would be typical if someone shot up a mosque, Synagogue or minority church, the media now focuses on gun control and how Christianity "drove" this guy to do the things that he did and made him the insane killer that he was (like all Christians are deep down inside to them.)  Typically the MSM would not even report Christians being gunned down as they seem to enjoy it, but since this story broke, they knew they had to run with it so they made it out to be another agenda-driven scenario.  What pathetic coverage this has received.

Mika is...

Mika is: anti-guns; anti-terrorist rough interogations; anti-terrorist imprisonment at Guantanamo; anti everything except talking nicely to mullahs in Iran as taught her by her father and Jimmy Carter -- look how nicely all of that has turned out for the world.  She means well, I guess, but she just has no clue about reality -- hopefully she and her family will never come face-to-face with evil.

 

but hopefully she and her

but hopefully she and her family will never come face-to-face with evil.

Hate to say it Okie, but I disagree. I hope she and all her ilk DO come face-to-face with evil. The only thing with a possibility of waking them up to reality is a dose of reality smacking them right in the face. They live in a fantasy world of theory where reality is whatever they desire it to be, regardless of facts. Look at her "No, no, no" fingers in her ears, la, la, la response to Scarborough's facts. You cannot use rational argument or facts with these people. Only painful experience has a chance of altering their skewed perception of the world. 

It's like a millionaire being considered an expert on the harshness of poverty.

Jeanne Assam Facts

I have alerted World Net Daily to the spin going on in Minneapolis being geared into Colorado which links directly into liberal Bubbles B and I hope Newsbusters will actually run a blog on this as it is important.

The new spin is Ms. Assam is a liar in not having stopped this terrorist. Instead the "gunman" (liberal slap at men and guns are all murderers and this criminal was not a terrorist) shot himself and it was not Ms. Assam's multi hits which stopped this thug.

Ms. Assam is a native of South Dakota where numbers of women are taught young to handle firearms. She went to Minneapolis to be a policewoman where the Minneapolis liberal press of KSTP channel 5 is doing their worst now to discredit Ms. Assam.

It seems Officer Assam was "fired" for "lying" according to the liberal press. What happened was (the press is being deliberately unclear in the event) a mouthy public bus driver ran into Officer Assam's parked cruiser and KNOWING SHE WAS ON VIDEO from the bus antagonized her repeatedly until Officer Assam told the guy to shut up, she could park her cruiser wherever she wanted on duty and if he kept it up she was going to tag him.

Well the whiner Democrat bus driver reported this "threat" by Officer Assam to which she denied it happened and in the set up she walked into (DO YOU REMEMBER LARRY CRAIG???), the Minneapolis liberal police fired her for "lying".

One can say thank God in heaven she was fired and put into a position where she shot a terrorist..............even if all her bullet holes now mean to liberal Colorado police that the thug shot himself and Minneapolis liberals are smearing a hero as a "liar" and Bubbles B is intent on stating a dead terrorist can not be stopped by an armed citizen..............which does indeed happen in Iraq and America tens of thousands of times a year.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

There is a few important

There is a few important points that no one ever makes.

The reason that killers / criminals pick gun free zones is that there is NO resistance. How easy is it to shoot at people that are running or hiding?

If anyone has a gun to defend themselves, the killer will be busy ducking bullets themselves. Ask anyone that has been in a fire fight, it’s a little hard to aim when someone is trying to place a 240 gram hollow point between your eyes.

 

Those signs can tell me all they want that it’s a gun free zone, I still will carry mine. When the lunatics read the sign I will leave mine at home!!

You know Mika if you pull your head out long enough you could see that if someone at VT, which was a gun free zone, the Omaha Mall, ditto, and the any other area where some person has raged, had a concealed carry permit that they could have stopped it.  This lady stopped a massacre but you can’t seem to wrap your liberal mind around such a concept.  It flipping baffles you that this guy had the potential to kill EVERYONE in that church.

What if someone in one of those classrooms at VT were packing?  How many of those could have been saved?

“GUN FREE ZONE” means “EASY TARGETS” for someone who wants to make a name for themselves.

Take the guns away from the people and the criminals will be the only one with guns.

Face it-- the libs are disapported that there wasn't a full scale bloodbath for them to gloat over. Good shooting Jeanne!

A little humor

Are you a Democrat or a Republican? Here's a little test to help you decide:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock .40 cal, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?

Democrat's Answer

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor? Or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Now that's my kind of

Now that's my kind of humor. I really really HATE Liberals... slowly but surely, I've been showing my family how bankrupt liberalism is... but they have to see it first hand, so it takes time.... and the biggest problem is that Liberalism is emotionally based... so even when they're shown the logical fallacy of Liberalism... they still have a real hard time turning away from it. It's like a drug addiction.

Thanks for the humor!

Oldsailor, 

Oldsailor, 

Some times when times get me down, I read a classic like you just penned..

Classic! And spot on..

I told this story a few weeks ago. Here in little New Bern NC, I was walking back from dropping my car off to the garage. Taking a short cut through the cemetery, ( I know, sounds like a B movie). Three kids (ages15- 17) rode their bikes past me. Looked me over, stopped chatted for a minute then started back towards me. I lifted my shirt a little to show I had a gun,then one of them said: F.. this he’s got a gun. Now where I was standing I could see the largest police station in the city.  This is in one of the nicest places down here, the historic area.

In the “nice part of town” there have been 3 hold ups via a knife in this past year.

The unfortunate part is no one never hears how weapons or..“the threat of a weapon” saves so many lives or injury. You can’t prove a negative.

BTW Oldsailor, I use Carbon 165 JHP..

The instructor that was

The instructor that was teaching my CCW class told us that there was a rash of car jackings in Charlotte until an old woman shot a guy with a 9mm when he tried to jack her. Car jacking almost stopped for a year, after that.

My Dad used to say: "Son

My Dad used to say: "Son wearing a condom is like washing your feet with your socks on".

I don't remember the context, but it's always kind of stuck with me.

"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...

My dad always told me "son

My dad always told me "son until you get married keep your mule in the barn." One of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life...not the lesson he was teaching but how he put it.
