Politicians are to blame for this crap

JARRETT BAKER/The Times-UnionColin Bruley, 24, was fired from his job at a Monument Road apartment complex after grabbing his gun and running to help an injured neighbor.

'You're fired,' man hears after saving a woman's life
The 24-year-old grabbed a gun before going to help his neighbor who had been shot.


When a neighbor screamed she'd been shot, Colin Bruley grabbed his shotgun, found the victim and began treating her bloodied right leg.

Tonnetta Lee survived Tuesday's pre-dawn shooting at her Jacksonville apartment, and her sister and a neighbor praised Bruley's actions. But his employers, the same people who own the Arlington complex where Bruley lives, reacted differently. They fired him.

Neighbor Kevin Courson joined Bruley at the crime scene when he saw Bruley had a gun for protection. Courson said he is incensed by the dismissal.

"Here was a guy trying to do a good deed. He wasn't trying to hurt nobody," said Courson, 31.


Yes ladies and gentlemen -- greedy-assed lawyers and activist judges and jackass politicians (most of which are lawyers) have brought America to her knees. Corporations are so afraid of being sued they are literally frozen in inaction. And anyone who takes action must be fired.

Vote for the candidate who supports tort reform -- where the loser pays in civil actions. Sure -- it'll take 20 years to heal the damage but let's start now.
