    Joshua Quick fought off yoga studio gunman with vacuum cleaner, broom

    'He saved my life': Joshua Quick fought off yoga studio gunman with vacuum cleaner, broom

    Joshua Quick, the Tallahassee man who is being hailed as a hero for fighting back against the gunman who killed two people at a Midtown yoga studio, shared his story Sunday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

    Quick said after Scott Beierle opened fire Friday night, he confronted him with the only weapon he could find — a vacuum cleaner with a heavy end.

    “The gun stopped firing,” Quick said. “I don’t know if it jammed or what. So I used that opportunity to hit him over the head with it.”

    The gunman pistol-whipped Quick, bloodying his face. But Quick recovered and tried to stop Beierle again.

    “I jumped up as quickly as I could, ran back over and next thing you know, I’m grabbing a broom, anything I can. And I hit him again.”
    Once again, magazine capacity matters.
    Enjoy.

          Or you could just shoot the stupid son of a bitch and be done with it.
          It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
          In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
          Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
          Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

                  Well, a gun doesn't make you bulletproof, so if you've taken cover in order to pull your weapon, you might still want to wait for a pause in shooting before popping up to shoot back. So magazine size still matters.
                  Enjoy.

                      I have one issue with the police comment on this event. There was no "gentleman" who lost his life. There was a vicious fucking felon who was shot and killed like the rabid dog he was, saving an unknown number of lives that day and in the future.
                      "Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

                          Yeah. I actually re-read the story to see if I had missed a victim dying. I appreciate the police sensitivity to the perpetrator's family, but he wasn't a "gentleman".

                              Depends upon the person wearing the yoga pants, I suppose.

                              Let's face it: some people just have no business wearing yoga pants.
