LAS VEGAS — A community that has mourned two slain Las Vegas police officers gathered again to remember a man who died while trying to stop the shooting rampage.

Nearly 400 people, including law enforcement officers, attended a memorial service Sunday in Las Vegas for Joseph Wilcox, 31.

He was fatally shot at a Wal-Mart after Jerad and Amanda Miller killed Officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck at a nearby pizza shop minutes before, declaring the start of a revolution.

Wilcox saw the shooters at the Wal-Mart on June 8 and pulled out his legally concealed handgun to stop them, but was shot by Amanda Miller. He was returning computer equipment at the time. The Millers died after a shootout with police at the store.

Sheriff Doug Gillespie eulogized Wilcox as a hero, saying his actions allowed other shoppers to safely leave the store.

“He made the decision to put his life in danger to help hundreds of others in the store,” Gillespie said. “He is a man friends and family and the entire community should be proud of.”

Some (too many) in the Gun Control community have categorized Joseph Wilcox and/or his actions as superfluous, stupid and allegedly proving that the “Good Guy with a Gun” is just another vacuous NRA slogan. I initially got mas at these morons, but then I realized that they were just scaredy cowards who deep inside realized that they did not have enough wherewithal to have done the same.

I know that the St. Crispin’s speech is abused, but there is a part that fits these harpies perfectly:


And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Why would we care about the opinions of those not brave enough to fight for their own lives? F*** ’em. They are the kind when a life event comes calling, they send it to voice mail.

Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

  1. Or as Orwell said, “We sleep peaceably in our beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on our behalf.” RIP Joseph Wilcox.
