OMG hte Irony ... The Iron Pipe of Irony

This guy is being hailed as a hero by the media for his actions here an there is already talk of this simple act guaranteeing him a re-election next time around.

I agree that his stepping in to assist the woman was a very decent and appropriate thing to do, but... If it weren't for folks like him with their anti-gun beliefs, maybe the woman could have been armed and resolved the situation herself.

Something to think about anyway.

I just find it funny that a government official can't even have the cops respond that fast to stop him from getting his ass beat. And you KNOW he pulled the "I'm the Mayor" card when he called 911. Still got his ass beat before the cops could get there.

Remember... when SECONDS count, the cops are only MINUTES away.
I guess that mayor is luck he didn't have a knife or a gun.

I hear all pipes have to be registered now in Milwaukee. If you want to conceal carry a pipe you must take classes and get retrained every 2 years on how to use them. If you are not 18, you can't posseses a pipe until you are 21. Next up for registration is little league baseball bats and twirling batons.

the guy that whacked him on the head was probably the mayor's cousin leroy, working to help him get re-elected.

The only thing ironic about this story, is that people will likely say that it is his anti-gun laws that kept a gun out of the criminals hands in the first place, and instead of only recovering, the politician would be dead.

It's ironic, because I doubt that is the case.

if the mayor was carrying, he could have saved the day, his hand and a trip to the hospital.
