Maybe going down with my own little ship, but I will never bow to this kind of brutality. Kids and the handicapped are special, and woe to those that would seek out to harm them, to futher their objectives....Hope they see Crip's muzzle at their end!!!

Most Americans are not professionals, not soldiers, most Americans are not interested in bettering themselves or their country. The outstanding men and women on this site are just that, outstanding, not in the norm. I go weeks out in public, shopping centers, grocery stores, etc. without seeing a good deed. Most people would just rather care about paying bills or having to live on a day to day basis. Yet when something like this happens to them, they say, "I didn't think it would ever happen to ME..."
I don't have faith in the majority, but in the minority. Just because you are outnumbered doesn't mean you are powerless. Indeed it is the minority that hold the wealth and power in this country.
...my opinion.
