Heroic Veteran Who Disarmed Burglar With Bare Hands Publicly Sticks It To Biden – The Federalist

The retired U.S. marine who thwarted an attempted robbery by three suspects in a convenience store in Arizona is a hero in more ways than one.

Veteran James Kilcer gained national attention last week after a video of him swiftly disarming an armed burglar in a Chevron gas station went viral on social media.

As the armed suspect walked by Mr. Kilcer while pointing the weapon at the cashier, Kilcer reacted without hesitation, quickly disarming the suspect and taking him to the ground. He was able to immediately gain control of the gun and detain the suspect until Deputies arrived. As a result, no victims were injured and no property loss was sustained, the Yuma County Sherriffs Office wrote in a press release.

Kilcers quick thinking prompted an interview with Fox News about his experience. Anchor Dana Perino wrapped up the segment by offering to buy Kilcer a beer, but the veteran had a different closing comment in mind.

And remember, Epstein didnt kill himself, Kilcer replied, which prompted laughing from Perino.

Very clever, she said.

As a result of Kilcers smooth takedown of the armed suspect, the Yuma, Arizona Sheriffs Office awarded the veteran the YCSO Citizens Valor Award: For extraordinary heroism and exceptional courage while voluntarily coming to the aid of another citizen during an incident involving criminal activity at extreme, life threatening, personal risk in an attempt to save or protect human life.

The YCSO Citizens Valor Award is the highest award for citizens whose actions warrant recognition, the press release noted.

Kilcers ability to think on his feet produced heroic results, but the veteran showed even more courage when he accepted the award from Sheriff Leon Wilmot in a Lets Go Brandon shirt and iconic red Make America Great Again cap.

Kilcer celebrated his award while The American Legion Post 19, Marine Corps League Territorial Detachment 635, the Chevron General Manager, and the Yuma community looked on.

Kilcer will not only go down in history as being one of the calmest people to take down a bad guy with a gun, but hell also be remembered for sticking it to the Biden administration and other elites in one of the most polite yet noticeable ways possible.
