The last thing she and the cop heard was a warning that someone had a gun!

Way to go , Larry.
You have reached a new low.
What Clatsop said goes double for me.

You disgust me.

BS... an eyewitness journalist, said the cop murdered her...

In my 1968 Basic Combat Training class on "Hand to Hand Combat," we were taught by a WWII combat veteran, who had actually employed the techniques to save his own life. I have confirmed this training is still in effect today. He said that if we encountered an armed combatant while unarmed, our first and most important option was to use our feet....and run. He said that we should try to avoid such encounters if possible and evade them when that failed. Police are taught to not hesitate to use their weapon if they have reasonable expectations that a perp may try to kill them. "The Quick or the Dead," analogy is used. If you heard a warning that an unidentified person had "a gun," followed seconds later by an aggressive attack on your position, you would be authorized to use deadly force to defend yourself and the officers near you from a perceived deadly threat. Her training and the cop's training met that fateful day. She ignored hers, while he heeded his. This tragedy played out as a result.

A couple of facts and an informed opinion. Show me a training manual that says spooking an adversary who is pointing a gun at you from a couple yards away is a good idea. She did that. I went back and reviewed the audio. The warning about a guy with a gun is loud and clear. The next loud audio you hear is the gunshot that killed her. The sequence is 1. Warning, 2 Ashli crashing through the window and 3. gunshot. Women Veterans are five time more likely than their civilian counterparts to be suicidal and 33% more likely to employ a violent method. I may disgust you, but sometimes the truth is disgusting. In researching the information for this meme I uncovered information about her personal life that suggested she may have had low self-esteem. I decided that this information was likely to make some people judge her harshly. So, I left it out.

You must lead a sad life.

I have had a full, exciting and personally rewarding life. Whenever I talk about it here MAGA Minions accuse me of exaggerating. I worked in Healthcare Management and Public Affairs for the VA, including Administrative Officer For Psychiatry at a UCLA Affiliated VA Medical Center. I have many good memories of serving my fellow Veterans for almost 30-years. I am equally proud of the five years I spent after leaving the VA as Community Relations Director for the largest provider of mental health services for children and their Families in Northern Los Angeles County. My work in arranging for film location work in unused VA facilities led to Natalie Wood and "R.J." inviting me to cast and crew holiday parties and Ms. Wood giving my wife a receiving blanket for our first child. I took Ernest Borgnine to lunch when the set decorator for a PSA shoot was running late. I recruited Chuck Norris to be the Spokesman for the National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans. I wrote, produced and managed the production and Distribution of PSAs starring Norris. On the side I was champion of three Nationally broadcast game shows, followed by side jobs working on many other shows. I was Western Regional Director for Public Affairs for the VA. In that job I was on the staff of the first ever Secretary of Veterans Affairs. I'll be 75-y.o. later this year and a recent back injury as slowed me down. But, I have too any great memories of doing good things for others and exciting things to be sad. I would be sad if I spent my time seeking out other people's Memes, so I could insult them and do whatever I could to divert attention away from the fact that a famous grifter uses vulnerable people to their detriment and death for his own personal gain. Every day I hope that a light will go on for such people and they will change their self-destructive ways. Miracles do happen.

Cool story bro.
