And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A gun that was shot out of the hands of a suicidal man by a sniper.
Very risky shot - shrapnel could injure or kill the person holding the gun, or worse, bystanders. and shooting the gun is the same as the person as far as using deadly force is concerned. Kids, don't try this at home. We always tried to dissuade this type of thing, but in this case it turned out well.
I wonder what the Philadelphia police helicopter pilot who dropped the crate of TNT on a house back in 1985 got as an award from mayor Rizzo? A pile of rubble in a former window casing frame, maybe?
A trophy worth having
