Senator R.C. Soles
Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder
Senator R.C. Soles
Aug 24, 2009
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot
one of two
intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m.
Sunday, the
prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital,
but the
injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to
Rex Gore, district
attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff
's Department are
investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested,
declined to
discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said
by telephone. "I'm right in the
middle of an investigation."
Soles, a top-ranking Democrat and the longest-serving member
of the legislature,
already was the subject of an SBI investigation over sexual misconduct
allegations
with former male clients. (FHW - Now, that sounds more like a
liberal to me).
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership
for the general
public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when
he believed he was
in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do As I Say
And Not As I Do"
Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in
what apparently
was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It
is because his long
legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect
his family, his own
response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions
that he feels ordinary
citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical
situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life
and personal safety is
more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run
our lives, raise our
kids, and protect our families better than we can.
