Liberals love stories like this because it makes them think they don’t need a gun.
SEATTLE (KING) – Prosecutors have released video of a confrontation on a Seattle Metro Transit bus between a gun-wielding robber and a rider.
The images show the man react quickly when face-to-face with the pistol, then pull the gun from his hand and begin tackling the suspect.
That suspect, 19-year-old Trevonnte Brown, is charged with two counts of First Degree Robbery and one count of Attempted First Degree Robbery.
As the bus wound through West Seattle November 25th, video shows Brown getting on and rob at least one woman, flashing a gun in her face and taking her cell phone quietly.
Video then shows Brown approach a man sitting immersed in his own cell phone. As soon as his eyes notice the firearm, he grabs its end, jumps up, rips the gun from the suspects hand and begins throwing punches.

Here’s the truth:
1. The criminal had little experience with firearms.
2. The criminal could have fired his weapon the minute his opponent grabbed it.
3. The criminal could have been stronger than the man who started beating him up.
4. Grabbing a stranger’s gun can result in an accidental firing depending on how you pull the weapon.
5. Shooting the criminal would have been better, you don’t even need to shoot straight as long as you’re close enough.
Suffice to say, while I congratulate the courage of whoever went Jackie Chan on Brown, it’s not something I would have done.
We are men, we fight with guns. First fighting is fine for MMA and Karate Movies, but in the real world, we rely on our guns, not our fists. That’s how I see it.
You don’t agree? Fine, you go ahead and play Rocky Balboa with the next thug you find, hopefully it won’t be a Trayvon Martin who would have won if it wasn’t for Zimmerman’s gun.
