As you are no doubt aware, on Monday an “18 year old” Ohio State University student (look at the pictures and see if you believe that age), abdul razak ali artan, plowed his car into a group of people on campus, then got out of the car to start slashing them with a knife. Officer Alan Horujko, after unsuccessfully ordering artan to stop, shot and killed him – almost certainly saving others from being injured and killed.
With that in mind, please read the following exchange, reported by Sara Gonzales at theblaze.com, which took place on Megyn Kelly’s Fox News show, between Kelly, Dana Loesch and hard-left political activist Nomiki Konst, while discussing former Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine’s erroneous tweet that artan used a gun, not a knife:
“Senator Kaine should not have rushed to judgment, should have waited for the facts to come in, as should have the police that were there who ended up shooting — who we now know — is someone who aligned himself with ISIS,” Konst said.
Kelly interrupted her response to clarify: “Did you say the police should have exercised more self-control?”
Konst continued: “They want to make sure the attacker is still alive so they can question him.” She maintained that the police officer should have shot to injure the terrorist and not kill him.
Loesch corrected her, “That’s not how any of the training goes. … You have no idea what you’re talking about, Nomicki. The officer is a hero. He absolutely is a hero,” adding, “We’ve got to stop the gun-free zones.”
An incredulous Kelly chimed in later, “He should have questioned him while he was sticking the knife into people’s throats, got it.”
Sure, Nomick. Officer Horujko should have aimed for an arm, a leg. No problem about the possibility that, while he was trying to be as finite as possible, artan might be slashing a couple more victims…or that, by not aiming for the middle, he would increase the possibility of hitting one of the victims instead.
No, you can’t make this stuff up.
And, believe me, you don’t want to.
“Shoot to wound” is typical Left-Tard nonsense.
Things simply move too fast in confrontation with armed attackers.
Police are trained to fire every round in their pistol at the ‘Center of Mass’ (torso).
Moreover, doesn’t that idiot Left-Tard realize that the officer was SHOOTING because the Islamic-Terrorist was STILL knifing people.
