A civilian female police officer is being hailed as a heroine. Sgt. Kimberly Munley is being credited with ending the rampage of muslim fundamentalist and military psychiatrist Major Nidal Malik Hasan. Despite being shot herself, she managed to hit Hasan, who remains comatose, four times.
Sgt. Kimberly Munley responded within three minutes of receiving reports of shots being fired by Hasan, who according to witnesses was exclaiming “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) as he began his terrorist rampage. Hasan killed thirteen individuals at the Fort Hood Texas training center and wounded thirty.
What an amazing individual, to be scared AND shot, and remember what she had to do and do it at the same time.
I hope Obama takes a page from those men who have praised her and does the same. Strange how he leaps into action anytime men are either victims or perpetrators and remains so comfortably silent when women are either victimized or show heroism.
And for “Major” Hassan — for someone who purports to hate terrorism, you sure are pretty good at it, aren’t you?
BTW, you may need to remove the word “soldier” from the title of the post. She’s a civilian cop, apparently …
yes she is a civilian. I was just going to send you an email about this; have it on my website. Good going girl!!!
After I wrote the above article I learned that the Major handed out Koran’s the day before his attack, was upset because he couldnt find a “pure Muslim Woman” in America( subservient Berka wearing) to marry,and was gleeful when he learned of a suicidal bombing. The police officer is a true hero- wonder if Obama will invite her to the White House…doubt it…wouldnt fit in to the boys club there..
Sgt. Munley is awesome! I bet it’s driving Hasan crazy that a woman took him down, and yes, I find that deeply satisfying.
Just learned she was shot in the wrist and thighs, the terrorist is in stable condition but on life support…It will be interesting to hear his rant when he awakens and as Jenn said, learned a woman took him down
I’m not holding my breath either, Bruce. The Bucketmouth-in-Chief can’t shut up when something impacts men, but when a woman is involved as either a hoer or a victim, he can’t drop his golf bag long enough to say two words.
She should be brought to the WH to receive a high civilian honor of some sort, whatever medal is appropriate for this sort of thing. I doubt he’d be able to stare her in the eye to give it to her, though.
Hoer? HERO. Typing too fast!
Well, isn’t this lovely — apparently (have to check this myself) according to CNN, Obama just said that this woman “acted stupidly” in shooting the suspect.
Lovely. Just fucking lovely. As if I couldn’t despise him any more.
Any woman who either voted for him or makes excuses for him deserves to have her head examined.
Okay, It hink I’m wrong — I HOPE I’m wrong. Please don’t make me right. He’d BETTER come out with some damn pretty language about her …
Has Barry O ordered the Flags at half staff yet?
Bruce, I think the White House lowered the flags late this morning. It would have been earlier, but Obama was busy giving shout outs to everyone present.
