“Turn Tail and Run” Law Proposed
Washington, D.C. Senator Lousenburg (D. NJ) has filed the “Turn Tail and Run” (TTR) bill in the U.S. Senate which, if passed, would preempt ALL State “Stand Your Ground” (SYG) laws. The new bill would impose a national duty to retreat at all times when one encounters a criminal threat or is about to become a victim of violent crime. New York City Mayor Bloomingidiot has made passage of the “TTR” a centerpiece of his national "Second Chance at Shoot First" campaign. The mayor heartily approved of TTR, especially since bodyguards of celebrities, VIP’s, and political figures were exempted.
When the President was asked about TTR at a recent press conference he expressed his eager support. He said “Great Britain has long banned self defense” and “Americans need to be brave, like Sir Robin.” The President then quoted a passage from the classic British tale of Sir Robin:
“Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away, away. When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about. And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet. He beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!”
He further pointed out four simple rules of how TTR would apply:
1) You are criminally attacked, run away!
2) You see others being criminally attacked, run away!
3) You are threatened with violent crime, run away!
4) You see others being threatened with violent crime, run away!
The President illustrated these simple rules as follows, “So for example, if you are mugged in the street, attacked by a rapist, threatened with a deadly weapon, or confronted by a burglar in your home, be brave and run away! If you see others facing such threats, be brave and run away!
He further commented that TTR is a proud American tradition that helped us win our independence, “We, as Americans, need to remember the example set by Captain Parker at Lexington Green in 1775 when he bravely said to his fellow Minutemen, "Turn tail and run. Don't fire even if fired upon. If they mean to have a war, let it begin somewhere else."by Evan F. Nappen

+11I'm too old to run so regardless of what the law says, if I'm crowded I will shoot
Running is sometimes not an option and I will do what needs to be done to protect me and mine!! Run is my first option, but when cornered? You won't like me much.
When normal people say:
DO GOOD - FIGHT EVIL
BE STRONG - NOT WEAK
BE TRUTHFUL - SHUN DECEIT
PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONES AND NEIGHBORS - DON'T RUN AWAY
-----------obama and friends say:
"JUST LET EVIL OVERRUN AMERICA"
----------obviously he does practice what he preaches
IN NEW YORK ,THEY STAND AROUND WHILE SUB WAY PASSENGERS ARE STABBED TO DEATH..SO THE ONLY ADDED REQUIREMENT IS THAT THEY MUST RUN AWAY..
LOUSENBURG HAD FEDERAL PROTECTION.. WOULD THOSE PROTECTING HIM HAVE TO RUN AWAY AS AN ATTACK ON HIM???
That is almost the exact opposite of our American tradition in the war of independence. How anyone can even think to make an argument of how TTR represents our tradition is in dire need of American History lessons.
"...bodyguards of celebrities, VIP’s, and political figures were exempted."
How ironic! So only the government defined important people are unaffected? Just like how congress is largely unaffected by most of the crap they force on the rest of us. I have never in my life seen my government work so damn hard to take away so many of my rights!
This is a joke, right? OMG... General Geo Patton must be rolling over in his grave!
It might be a good idea to review these SYG laws..
Bloomberg has scheduled a press conference this afternoon in Washington with the Rev. Al Sharpton, the NAACP, the National Urban League and other groups to announce the initiative.
The billionaire mayor is expected to fund most -- if not all -- of the drive.
A couple of weeks ago, the mayor's office rushed to sign up volunteer lawyers to compile a list of stand-your-ground laws -- described by Bloomberg as "shoot first" laws -- around the country.
