Has anyone paused to consider that the doctor was simply following through on his Hippocratic oath when he saved people's lives with his handgun?

Probably not.

Stupid libtards.

I have. I'm a firm believer in high speed lead inoculations. Of course my deployment wasn't anywhere near an active battlefield.

Hippocratic oath has nothing to do with self defense. I see no paradox in shooting someone to save lives then working hard to try to save the shooter's life. Of course, the doctor was a psychiatrist. Pretty limited ability to address a trauma patient.

You missed my point..he was SAVING LIVES.

DU reacting to initial reports. Hilarity ensues when they realize it was a doctor armed with his own gun returning fire.

P.S. I thought doctors hate guns? Lots oh HMACs and Senseis out there?

Dr. Lee Silverman was armed and shot the attacker three times, disabling him. This is another remarkably clear indication as to how an armed good guy can be extremely effective at stopping the armed bad guy and should be recognized as such.

As a local of sorts it was disappointing to note that only this story finally clarifies what was already known via national outlets. Prior to that no regional news outlet would mention the doctor fought back.

Oh, a psychiatrist. Wonder if his (no doubt) previous sessions with the guy indicated he was a likely candidate to do this type of thing?

Yes sir. I think this serves as a great example for "our side", due to his profession, and the environment that this occurred.

You got that right. In fact it's absolutely right and it's absolutely in-you-face-proof of what you mentioned. So many times you hear libtards say "If it only saves one life...." Well hell-bells, here's a PERFECT example of their own argument being applied to a situation you know damn well they don't like! I love it!

Oh, kudos to the good doctor!
