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.
I note there's only two on NT who refer to President Biden as Brandon and they never say anything or have anything to say/say anything worthwhile, IMHO.
Ahh see? You're a shining star.

What the huh?
Please don't troll Tessy, or anyone else, on my thread.
I guess he's hitting on you because he knows you're a HOT blonde.
Sure al
You said there's at least two that use Brandon, but there's only one that I know of that uses trumpturd. Probably will start trending now....
And to think I started on the Commodore 64....
That is a fucking insult to innocent turds.
My first PC was a Coleco Adam.
Why are you being such a dick? Are you one of the morons that refers to President Biden as Brandon?
You're just like the two I was referring to though, deflecting, projecting and denying.
Exactly what he's doing or maybe he has a crush on me like Just Jim.
You can admit it Greg, that's the first step to recovery.

I didn't say at least two - I said two and only two
I thought that it was George Santos who created the "Comma-Doors"? He put commas in doors to start a fad. It was very big in Brooklyn!
Is that not true or just another one of Santos' little fibs? He is such a Hoot. Now he is telling everyone he is a congressman. That cat is funny.

yay!
country western music encourages incest.
evangelicals don't like the competition...
How so?
Ahhhh, nevermind then, you're just babbling to babble....
That's what you're doing.
Whoever that is sure looks inbred.
Why post it?
I hate country western.

Perhaps I'm just different, but I don't judge artists based on their looks but rather whether I like what they put out.
He just sounds like a whiny asshole to me, and I hate country western music.
Like dev said, it encourages incest.
LOL
Okay, like I asked dev, "how so"?
Do you think show tunes encourage homosexuality as well?
just how many songs can be written about pickups, dogs, horses, looking for love at some shit kicker saloon, or whining about your current or ex-lover banging anybody in town that doesn't wear pointy boots and a goofy hat as a fashion statement.
depends. which show tunes are you most familiar with?
None really come to mind. How about you?
What a dumb post...

fall of 74 I think. front row center. leon with his new band from OKC. squirt gun fight breaks out on stage during the show. smoked a bunch of weed. couldn't hear for 2 days after the show. leon ain't no fake ass clod hopper.
Loved Leon Russell
I saw Leon Russell in concert at the old Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in August 1970. Unbelievably loud. The other act that night was It's A Beautiful Day. I don't remember which one was the opening act and which one was the headliner. I saw The Mothers of Invention there a couple of weeks later. Those were the days...
Great tune.
I would have killed to see zappa and the mothers back then. I didn't discover him until 72, when I bought his album Just another band from LA.
I also saw them a few months earlier, when they performed 200 Motels with the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra at Pauley Pavilion at UCLA. They also did a set of other songs without the orchestra not related to 200 Motels, including "My Boyfriend's Back"! That was hilarious.
I'm linking this review because it discusses that performance, and a much later one.
The concert at the Santa Monica Civic included new material for 200 Motels that they had not performed at UCLA. Flo and Eddie, formerly of The Turtles, performed with them.
I bought their first album "Freak Out" in about 1968-69. My friends and I were all Zappa fans back then.
I've never heard the full version of the making of 200 motels. I know it was immersed in all kinds of controversy. I guess I'll have to do some research. all I can remember is it littered the cut out bins in record stores for a decade.
wasn't there a claymation version done?
I know he pissed off the directors union or something...
I first saw Russell two years later in New Orleans, great concert. I think my ticket cost $5.00.
Did you ever see the 200 Motels movie?
not all the way thru. I've seen snippets of it on youtube...
The acid trip in Centerville was fucking hilarious.
You should see it. You would definitely like it. I think you can get it on a DVD through Amazon.
The whole movie is hilarious.
I went and looked for it and found out it's free on youtube. I'll get into the proper frame of mind and watch it soon.
flo and eddie.
Cool. The first time I saw it was in a movie theater right after it came out. I might have gone with friends to see it in a theater twice. It's been a long time. I did also see it years later on late night TV.
Yep.
Yes.
You should definitely adjust your attitude (altitude?) for maximum enjoyment.
thc vape pens, the scourge of all LE that favor "jump out" police contacts...
I miss frank. he and george carlin would be having a lot of fun with trumpster dipshits now.
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!
Brandon Tsay wants to use his celebrity to help heal his community | Health News Florida (usf.edu)
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.
You're quite familiar with all kinds of shit, all you got.
I thought all I had was deny, deflect and whatever else your only comment is.
And you will get a ticket if you dare to ask, "Right Down The Center of what?" It happened to me.
That too.
... not in every group on NT.
only in the fascist ones...
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.
