Yep, a grand old, but young, Hero
Quote: One customer, who stopped by the restaurant as the incident was taking place, had this to say to NBC 6's Tisha Lewis:
"If I came by five or 10 minutes earlier, *they could have caused a situation where *they could have shot me. A lot of things went through my mind," Sebastian Shakespeare said.
--------------------------------------
...
*They? *Is he talking about the 2 thugs, with guns, pointing at customers heads as they robbed them, forcing them into a bathroom, and God knows, what else they would have done if someone refused to give up a wedding ring, etc.
Or does that bland statement also include, (I hope not) a "retired" Marine, and Pilot, who had, and has, "a sharp mind", with skills and reflexes that shined that day, with one shot in the head (does it get any better?) and the other COM (on the money) on the other bad guy, who then turned and ran out.
I hope I'm that sharp at 71 when (and if) I get there..
~ Salute ~ to a hero
Marine-trained, and the reflex's of a great PIC, Pilot in Command, that makes decisions, in the blink of an eye, that saves lives, as opposed to those that would "think about it long, would, and will, play it wrong".. IMO, in a given life or death situation.
