"NEVER BRING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
First of all, I would like to extend my codolences to the family of the late Washngton Redskin football player, Sean Taylor!
Like many Americans, I prayed that Sean would pull through. However, when I learned that the bullet he was shot with, ripped through his femoral artery in his leg, I knew that it was only a matter of time before he drew his last breath. A gunshot wound to the femoral artery of the upper leg and abdomen, causes massive blood loss. The body has two femoral arteries that branch off from the mid-abdomen and into each thigh. The femoral artery is considered to be among the body's biggest vessels. They are concentrated in the groin area, and in the upper thigh. They are about the size of an index finger. So, when we consider the damage the bullet did to this young man and when we factor in the length of time that Taylor was reported to be unconscious, his future was bleak. Had he survived, he would have suffered massive brain damage, because of the loss of air to his brain.
As many of you know by now, Taylor was shot in his Miami home early Monday morning. At this point, police appear to be operating under the theory that a lone gunman broke into Taylor's home. Taylor reportedly grabbed a machette that he kept underneath his bed. He went to confront the brazen robber. When the man broke down Taylor's door, the football star apparently retreated. This is when he was apparently shot. The thug who killed Taylor didn't care that, (1) His girlfriend was in the same room as he, and (2) Their 18-month old daughter was also with her parents. The killer came in, with his gun blazing!
My first thought was why didn't this man own a gun. I later discovered that Taylor had been hit with a felony charge of aggravated assault with a firearm in 2005. Taylor reportedly brandished a handgun in Miami. He copped a plea to a lesser charge, but this still didn't stop the league from fining him more than 71-thousand-dollars for violating his contract's personal conduct clause. In 2004, Taylor was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. The RedSkins suspended him for one game. However, the charge was later dropped.
Sean Taylor didn't come from a broken home. He didn't escape poverty. His dad, Pedro Taylor, is the police chief in Florida City! Taylor had everything going for him. A beautiful family, and a wonderful career in the National Football League. However, he fell victim to what so many young Black athletes succumb to today:And that is, they want to be perceived as a "Gangsta, Or Tough Guy." From all account, Taylor was really a nice guy! Lord only knows why he would pull out a firearm on someone. But, he did. Maybe, his death has something to do with that incident. Keep in mind that this was the second time that someone had broken into Taylor's home. The first time, the intruder left a kitchen knife on a bed. Apparently, nothing of value was taken. So, why would someone break into a person's home, and leave a knife on a bed? Maybe, to send the resident of the home, "A Very Clear Message." I think the person who broke into his home and left the knife on the bed was saying, "Sleep lightly."
Taylor bought into the propaganda of liberals. For one thing, he apparently had this sense of entitlement. Secondly, he felt he could pull out a dangerous weapon and threatened someone with it. Thirdly, and this is perhaps most important, this fellow "Did Not Have An Alarm Connected To His Florida Mansion." Now, why would someone with all of the trappings of life that this man possessed, not have a home alarm? Perhaps he felt, "The Police Are Here To Protect Me." That is so liberal!
The courts have ruled that the police "Do Not Have A Duty To Protect You As An Individual." I know that liberals are quick to tell you that you "Don't Need A Gun, And That The Police Will Protect You." Folks, listening to a liberal, "Can Get You Killed, Literally." Even if this man could not legally own a weapon, this tragedy points up the need for American families to learn that they "must protect themselves." As I write this column today, I find myself asking, why didn't his girlfriend take a firearms course? Why didn't his police chief father make sure that this woman had legal access to a firearm?
Wake up America: Liberals in this country have projected their fear of guns onto you. And like sheep, hundreds of Americans are gunned down each year, because "They Hate Guns." It is ironic, the very instrument that they have been brainwashed into "hating," is what brings about their demise! Guns "Do Not Kill People, People Kill People."
The death of Sean Taylor goes to show us that, we aren't safe anywhere, not even "In A Million Dollar Mansion." If you want peace of mind, stop listening to liberals. They know absolutely "Zero" about firearms. They are only projecting their fear of guns onto you, when they say, "You Don't Need A Gun." What they are actually saying is, "I (The Liberal) Am Afraid Of Guns, So You Should Be Too." Remember, with liberals, it is all about "Groupthink."
Also, remember this folks, the bad guys "Will Always Have Guns." And they are not shy about using them. They couldn't care less about what Sarah Brady or any of the other kooks on the left think about guns. Let the death of Sean Taylor be a reminder to us all, "Never Take A Knife To A Gunfight!"
Learn how to properly protect your family. Exercise your 2nd Amendment Rights!
If your liberal friends don't like guns, tell them to, "Not Buy One."
FRIENDS OF "THE TRUTH"
