If you completed your homework assignment and have read A Nation of Cowards you know without my telling you that the sort of behavior outlined below is expected of you. Still saying you will act brave and actually doing it are two entirely different things. Read this story and remember these criminals would still be out on the streets if it weren't for the bravery shown by this 61 year old who the week before had a pacemaker installed.

Faced with those choices, a 61-year-old West Bloomfield man parried away a shotgun barrel as it fired, forcing a buckshot load of lead over his shoulder. The township man then drew his own handgun and shot an intruder inside his garage in the 4800 block of Trailview at 3 a.m. July 4. 'I love this guy,' said West Bloomfield Lt. Tim Diamond. 'He made a move on the gun with his arm in a sling. That's a guy with cojones.' "
