Brandon Awarded Medal of Courage
I am fucking sick of the cowards who are afraid to say, "Fuck Biden" so they say, "Go Brandon."
From now on, every time I hear a jackass say, "Go Brandon" I will think of Brandon Tsay, who is a true hero. He confronted an armed mass shooter and disarmed him thereby saving lots of lives in Monterey Park, California. Apparently, the spokespsycho for the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, is fucking wrong when he says, "The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
Brandon Tsay, the hero who disarmed the Monterey Park shooting suspect, honored with medal of courage

T he City of Alhambra honored the man who has been hailed a hero for disarming the Monterey Park shooting suspect at a second dance studio during Lunar New Year celebrations last weekend.
Brandon Tsay , 26, was awarded a medal of courage from the Alhambra Police Department during a ceremony Sunday.
Tsay can be seen in surveillance video wrestling a firearm from the shooting suspect, Huu Can Tran, at a dance studio in Alhambra. Authorities say Tran had opened fire earlier at a Lunar New Year celebration at another dance studio in nearby Monterey Park, killing 11 people and injuring 10 others.
“The carnage would have been so much worse had it not been for Brandon Tsay,” California Representative Judy Chu said during the award ceremony. There was a visible law enforcement presence at Sunday’s event, held during the city’s own Lunar New Year Festival.
Tsay was surrounded by police officers when he came on stage to accept his award, where he was joined by his family. He received a standing ovation and some attendees had posters and signs bearing his name. One sign at the community event read: “Brandon Tsay is our hero.”
Tsay was working the ticket office at the Alhambra dance studio when the armed man entered and pointed a firearm at him, Tsay told CNN last week. He lunged at Tran and struggled with him for about 40 seconds, he said. Tran hit him several times on the face, the back of his head and on his back and hands, Tsay said, before he was able to wrench the gun away from Tran.
During the struggle, Tsay said he thought to himself, “If I let go of this gun, what would happen to me, the people around me, my friends, my family?”
Chu, who presented Tsay with a certificate of congressional recognition, said Tsay’s story “was so amazing” that she called him to be her guest at President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on February 7. But just one hour after Chu spoke with him, Biden called Tsay to personally invite him to be his guest, Chu said.
Biden called Tsay last week to thank him for his act of bravery.
“I wanted to call to see how you’re doing and thank you for taking such incredible action in the face of danger,” Biden told Tsay. “I don’t think you understand just how much you’ve done for so many people who are never going to even know you. But I want them to know more about you.
“You have my respect,” the President said. “You are America, pal. You are who we are – no, no, you are who we are. America’s never backed down, we’ve always stepped up, because of people like you.”
Chu called the President’s invitation a tremendous honor. “All the eyes of the nation will be on that address,” Chu said.

Here's another attempt to document Brandon Tsay's heroism:
much braver than the combined 375 LE officers in uvalde texas that stood around for an hour while kids were being executed.
... the good guys with guns. yeah, right...
Mr. Tsay is a true hero. You will not find even one of his caliber on the ammosexual side of the US Congress.
As far as the Brandon thing, when you have nothing spout vacuous bs so the weak, insipid and dull of mind have something to believe in.
Perfect choice of words!
I wonder why the NT ammosexuals haven't commented on this article?
That is just in case of gators...
What?
I thought Trump "drained the fucking swamp."
Trump is the swamp.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Well done.
he's the shit floating in the swamp...
... he and his lame ass supporters.
trump and the magatards...
Brandon Tsay, is a real hero, and now the money being donated to him is being donated to help those that need help, and the GoFundMe that he set up is going to pay for the medical bills of those that survived.
We really do need more like Brandon.
Absofuckinglutely!

That is the most wonderful story about that extraordinary and heroic young man. Selfless and heroic. Makes my heart all gushy n' stuff.
I'm being schooled in linking differently, lol.
Really? Hope that includes making the link open in a new window. I sometimes lose my way back, and you're amazingly efficient at linking the best sources with the most reliable facts which make it easy for the "sometimes uninformed" to understand. There are few that have as well-researched resources as you do. But I admit I get a wee bit frustrated when I have to back arrow to get back to NT. Yay!
ugh, youtube is my weakness...
Rabbit hole leading to rabbit hole leading ....
she can be a brutal task mistress...
the whips, the chains, the ostrich feathers...
You're bound to get excited by that....
What a great guy!
a good guy without a gun, that isn't white...
not exactly hero material for the bulletheads.
shove one of those up a magatards ass and grab a tack hammer...
klink, >ka-boom<
That would result in a MAGA explosive orgasm.
I don't know if the slug would be large enough to guarantee taking out both functioning brain cells.
Come on...We all know Biden made covid and spread it on purpose. He also managed to destroy the whole worlds economy.
He let in every terrorist in the world while being a dictator about home appliances...
He shoves gay people down our throats and complains when we want religion to control every aspect of people's lives.
He alone controls the price of oil and gasoline and he wants the Chinese to take over. Unless of course the deep state gets there first.
Good one.
Don't forget how Biden forces people back to work just so he could claim the lowest unemployment rate since 1969.
He paid for the Chinese to fly their spy plane/rain seeder/videlia onion model over the U.S. The receipt can be found in Hunter's laptop because Hillary emailed it to him on "the server."
The server(s) that Hillary and Paul Pelosi smashed the Hard drives on with hammers
and black berries from ANTIFA of Oregon?
before the FBI recovered the three emails that had an innocuous (c) in the middle of a
page which even the CIA didn't know was a "hint" that it was classified?
Brandon Tsay is such a humble guy, and a real hero. He deserves the best of everything.
As for the brain-dead idiots who refer to Pres. Biden as "Brandon", they are only worthy of our contempt and disdain.
I wouldn't waste my contempt and disdain on them as they are too fricking stupid to remotely understand it.
Good point, Kavika.
Go Brandon Tsay!
We are all very proud of him around here.
He's a hero just as are the Capitol police. My heart hurts for all they've been through. For a fucking lie. For nothing other than a fucking lie. Anyone who supports that POS trump is a traitor. Traitors supporting a traitor. The only other thing they have in common is ignorance. And plenty of it. And quit letting LaPierre get richer by using the blood of Americans to do it. They just gave violent domestic abusers the right to guns . Why do the right-to-lifers support this? They want to force births and don't seem to care about the out-of-control deaths of children by firearms.
Tables included here .
Off topic I know, but I'm so looking forward to tomorrow's State of the Union address; a State of the Union that I would be proud for my children to watch, to again feel inspired by my president and country, to feel the pride of watching a true American patriot that stimulates, motivates and encourages instead of a bitter, name-calling, delusional and hateful racist and mysoginist. Never once would I have let my children watch a trump State of the Union. Shameful piece of shit that he was as president. The ultimate loser. And liar. That why no one's doing shit about Santos. It's what republicans represent.
You know, considering what they have to tolerate, I can't fathom why ANYONE would want to be POTUS.
Many years ago, some fellow Congresspeople tried to convince Bill Bradley (former NY Knicks basketball player turned US senator) to run for President. He refused on the grounds that there was too great a risk that he win.
I would have voted for Bill Bradley.
He was a good basketball player and a better senator. But he didn't want the crap that comes with the Presidency.
Bradley had the best jump shot in the Senate.
Like Obama, Bradley won a Rhodes Scholarship.
He ran for president in 2000.
The first sentence "I am fucking sick of the cowards who are afraid to say, "Fuck Biden" so they say, "Go Brandon." Is bullshit. No one is afraid to say fuck biden. I am sure everyone is aware how "go Brandon " came to be. Since the first sentence is bullshit it is a safe bet the rest of the article is bullshit too.
Comment 10 = Total bullshit.
Just because you don't like it does not make it bullshit. No one is afraid to say Fuck Biden.
FUCK OFF!!!
Note to self: Stop saying "how stupid can people possibly be" because invariably someone from the very low end of the Stanford-Binet test consider it a challenge.
No thanks. But thanks for the offer.
It would perhaps be more correct to say "Not everyone"
There are many good people in D.C. who have never expressed their personal opinions
because they like their jobs or incomes or notoriety.
And I would assume the vast majority of people are just too polite to talk that way.
It certainly doesn't hurt Biden and such talk/speech is only put out "there"
for the speaker to impress him/herself and his/her minions.
Poor baby. Although I'm not afraid to say it - FUCK BIDEN.
Because ignoring the real problem is the way to go about this. Did the gun force any of these shooters to pick them up and squeeze the trigger? No. The gun is an inanimate object. THE SHOOTER made the decision to pick up the gun and start shooting. But dealing with the shooter is, apparently too hard for many so go after the inanimate object.
... says the heros that likely would've been standing around with the rest of the 376 good guys with guns at uvalde.
Still trying the deflection thing I see.
Let me know when you are willing to address the real problem.
I own guns and I won't be giving them up as long as there's one seditious trumpster still breathing. there's a lot of distance between common sense gun laws and the ridiculous claim that democrats want you to turn in all your guns, but you're free to suck the NRA's dick as long as you'd like.
... with unbridled enthusiasm.
... and some goggles.
I was an active member of the NRA. I even won a rifle event in NYC.
Then the fucking crazies (Wayne LaPierre) took over.
I was NOT the only person who left the NRA....
My father has been a life long member since the late 50’s. I grew up shooting in NRA matches. I left the NRA in 1979, two years after the Cincinnati convention when the organization changed.
Once a week I would proudly wear my NRA jacket (which was covered with medals) to high school.
There was only one other member of the NRA at my high school (in Brooklyn, NY).
My father was a Navy pilot so he wasn't a member of the NRA butt he was a supporter.
I left the NRA decades ago.
I had the same patches on and marksmanship medals. I hate seeing what this organization became.
The same cultural shift occurred to gun shows as well. The pivoted from an emphasis on hunting and target shooting to self defense, survivalist and militia nonsense.
I used to go to the NRA range once a week to target shoot.
The range (indoor, of course) was in Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. It's the "hood" where Mike Tyson grew up.
I enjoyed riding on the subway with my rifle and my friend who also carried his rifle.
We always got seats because people exited the car when they saw us.
Nobody gave us any shit in the hood either.
People aren't used to seeing guys with rifles in NYC.
BTW, we used the target rifles the NRA provided at the range.
We liked carrying our rifles butt they weren't as accurate as those target rifles so we rarely fired them.
my truck had a rifle rack for my shotgun and 22 rifle in the back window when I went to high school.
they were an awesome deterrent for most types of police harassment.
FUCK OFF!!!
I'm guessing this could be a good reply, much of the time...
Oh. I guess I hurt somebody's feelings. Now, if I only cared.
That's an idiotic comment.
In comment (12) you stated:
THE SHOOTER made the decision to pick up the gun and start shooting. But dealing with the shooter is, apparently too hard for many so go after the inanimate object.
Derp. Yes, Brandon Tsay (who was unarmed) went after the "inanimate" object. When he took the GUN, the potential mass shooting never fucking happened. The way to deal with a shooter is to take his gun away. The best way to deal with a potential shooter is to prevent the asshole from being able to acquire a gun.
nobody wants to hear war stories from your military career...
So why make guns available to these people?
free dumb.
Not the problem but let that get in the way of your your uninformed rant.
who you talking to?
You but it posted all fucked up.
Really, who posted it?
I guess Dev rigged it. Or maybe it was the Fake media and the deep state.
Like The Donald, you can't admit that YOU fucked up.
I see I'm talking to a child.
You're talking like a child.
zero accountability ...
And, zero credibility....
and zero IQ...
I'm glad to see this heroic young man get recognized in POTUS's SOTU address.
He should go into politics - he's already so well known now for being a hero I'm sure he could get elected.
IMO the divisive antagonism indicated by the comments here is a microcosm of a divisive antagonism in a whole nation, so keep it up guys and watch your "competitors" advance past you no matter how much America tries to throw roadblocks in the paths of others, and does whatever is possible to contain them.
Nice.
