This one gave me pause. I checked Jim Brady’s Bio and as far as I could tell, he has never served in the military, has never been a police officer, fireman or paramedic. No stories of bravado or rescuing little girls from fires while he was young, etc.
And I feel sorry for the guy, but catching an unintended bullet while on a sidewalk minding your own business makes you a tragic victim, not a hero. I am gonna blame this one on an excitable intern at the Brady Campaign…. or the first salvo in the “Colin Goddard For President of the Brady Campaign” movement.
“By Jim Brady” I find that very hard to believe.
Good catch. Victim yes, hero no. And his namesake lobby would love to turn us all into victims.
Maybe the Brady camp is saying that if he hadn’t caught those bullets somebody important might have been hit.
They’re just evil enough to say that!
