Gentlemen,
Allow me to field this question. Striker is a man just like the rest of us. He is a kindred sprit with a love of firearms, And his love for them has brought him here for us to learn and share with. On a more personal level, Striker is a man named George who I call friend. I know back in the good ole days I wasn't the most popular guy on here, And I am sure that with every word I type I am rapidly returning to being one of the most hated people here. Last October I suffered an almost life ending injury, And of all of the men and women on this board, Striker was the one who brought me the most hope. Through countless Emails, He reminded me that even though our relationship was based on the two of us being no more familiar then posting on here, The milk of human kindness still existed. My friend George and I have shared much laughter, as well as a few tears through my redefining who I am, And he is the only person from here who has been invited to my wedding to my beloved princess. Striker is a LEO as you have so lumped we who serve our communities, And in my humble and often over looked opinion, Striker is one hell of a great guy. Don't hate the man, Nor his decisions. If we must hate, Hate the fact that we can not be grown and civil individuals and there are members of the ar15.com community that are forced to endure the position of "baby sitter's" for those of us who lack the respect of our fellow man. I personally feel honored to know such a man, And I support him and all who have responded to the call of his position
