(2,717 posts)beevul: I'm (still) sorry james. The poster I originally replied to set the criteria. The new life church shooting fits the criteria set by that poster.
You're sorry alright. More dodge ball from beevul, can't man up & face the fact he's trapped. Let's take a trip down memory lane, & review what beevul has said on this very subject back in june 2015, added emphasis:
jun 3, 2015, beevul #30: Hey jimmy, guess what a volunteer security guard who is a former cop is. A CIVILIAN. http://betterment.democraticunderground.com/1172167494#post10
I wrote: a former cop who was the security guard, which differentiates her {assam} immensely from the regular crop of civilian gun owners carrying a ccw or gun."
beevul #32 replied: Make your case counselor. You asserted it, now prove it. not just in the general sense, but HER {Jeanne assam}. You said it differentiates HER> Prove it.
OK, here - SNOPES FACT CHECK: Jeanne Assam wasnt quite a random churchgoer who just happened to show up at the service fortuitously carrying a weapon that day, however: she was a former police officer and volunteer church security guard who was aware of the earlier attack at the Youth with a Mission training center, had suggested that the New Life Church add extra security, and was armed as part of the churchs security team that day for that very reason.
Assam worked as a police officer in downtown Minneapolis during the 1990s and is licensed to carry a weapon. She attends one of the morning services and then volunteers as a guard during another service. Assam was the one who suggested the church beef up its security Sunday following the Arvada shooting, which it did. The pastor credited the security plan and the extra security for preventing further bloodshed.
Jeanne Assam maintained to us that she was still a member of the police force at the time of the church shooting and that was the one who killed Murray: "This message is regarding a post about me. It has a picture of me and words to the effect that I was just some random woman at New Life church when a gunman entered. The fact is that I am and was a police officer at the time of the shooting. I was part of the volunteer security team that day at the church."
Rebuttal by any bull weasels?
