Discard Doug's review
927722
I own several of Paul Howe's videos and I have taken several of Paul Howe's class including the CRAS (Citizen Response to Active Shooter).

Doug is obviously a "tacticool operator" and his opinion should be discounted.

Point #1: You are a security guard. Paul served our country for 20 years as an infantrymen, Spec Ops Team Leader, Sniper Trainer. His credentials and training are first class and serves the "citizen" population well. You don't want some "commando want-to-be" entering an active shooter location and playing John Wayne with a rifle.

Point #2: Established Doctrine? The established doctrine put out is for the citizen to retreat and call the police. Paul give the citizen a plan to attack the shooter based upon his experience...He has to take into consideration the experience of the average citizen who will be responding when he puts together the coursework.

Point #3: Most armed citizens don't walk or ride around with an ar-15 in their vehicle, so it would be unlikely to respond to an active shooter situation with that weapon.

Point #4: Slow and deliberate?  Speed is fine....Accuracy is final. Wish I could remember and give credit to the author of that quote. Doug, do you by chance drive a camo Hummer?

 Point #5: The point is the disable the active shooter, not kill innocents. If you own your battlefield, why not move from cover, fire a well placed shot and not harm anyone else? Sounds like great thinking to most of us. The point of the drill was not to move your scared rear from cover, but to make you aware of innocents that might be in your line of fire.

The great thing about the internet is that I can shop in my slippers with my dog in my lap and have things delivered to my doorstep.
The bad thing about the internet is that any bozo with the ability to type (not spell) can write his/her opinion that might influence other people.

Doug....your opinion is NOT shared by anyone who has taken a class from Paul or purchased one of his well done DVD's.

I take issue with the main opinion. Their use of the word "cra*py", isn't necessary. This game isn't built for you 30 year old "gamers". It never was intended, that way. Not all of us kids, need to "kill" 20,000 "whatevers", to enjoy. Some parents, are concerned about their kids playin' "those type of games", especially, younger players.

I also, think that to assume someone has to be "simple" to enjoy this game, somewhat impolite. Did your mommy ever teach you it's rude and impolite, to call others names?

The 120 score on your I.Q. test, is only an "indicator of your potential", just as my (depending on which test given), 144-155, is an "indicator of my potential". It, in no way means you, or I, will live-up to that potential.

I am quite sure that you can write an objective review, without resorting to being impolite. Maybe, a Thesaurus for Christmas?

As I stated, in my title,
Just my opinion.

I'll refrain from any tasteless jokes about your comment "I'd like to burn him as well" under the present circumstances (especially under the given circumstances) but propriety still forces me to mention to you that having a personal opinion about something does not give you permission to utter any statement you wish to in order to get your point across.  In other words, your dislike of something may be justified or unjustified, accurate or inaccurate, insightful or uninsightful, but whatever the case or cause or purpose of your utterance in these or any circumstances please keep your tone and manner civil.  Is that clear, young man?  Thank you.  End of transmission.

I think only the 1 star review is legitimate. If you look at the 5 star reviewers "all reviews" they are all similar; only reviewing a bunch of Mobile Solution hard drives, often on the same day which is pretty unlikely. Someone at Mobile Solutions isn't playing fair and I sure don't plan on buying any of their hard drives.

I cannot leave this page unless
I leave a review.  I do not want to.  Being forced to write review is wrong

I recently started reading his online articles, casually, and saw that he has this for sale. I felt like it would be a good way to catch up. I was wrong.  When you overdo it with DeMuro, like I did, you'll quickly get tired of all the metaphors. I know he's known for his sarcasm, but Doug is capable of more. Less filler and more car stuff is my only suggestion.

I am tired of typing all these reviews which insist on a certain amount of words that I think is rude

With that said, its NOT rocket science and I am NOT a professional reviewer, nor do I need a venue to blabber on as if I were.  If Amazon want's me to provide thoughts, they had better STOP telling me how many words I have to use.  I have better things to do with my time.  Otherwise, I will either NEVER say anything or STOP buying from Amazon.  I might just STOP buying from Amazon anyways, as I do NOT LIKE their politics.

Don't nag me to give you a review.  It won't be a good one.

Whether this is the person who went after Ivanka Trump or not I don't care.  What I care about is ignorant people who enter a review with an ax to grind that has nothing to do with the author's book or whatever product is being sold.  I am sick to death of politics or other issues being used here or elsewhere.  I read reviews to educate myself on a product I am interested in and expect them to be honest opinions on what they purchased!!!!

I like it, see the star rating, but have no intention of reviewing it.  I am posting this as a way to clear my review file, as there is minimum number of words required.

This is not a review of the book but a review of a mindset.
Multiple sources confirm that COSTCO is removing all copies of D'Sousa's best selling novel America from it's stores.
Apparently Costco was a large contributor to Obama, which in itself is OK.
You can donate money to whoever you want BUT as a bookseller it is somewhat disturbing that a best selling book is being pulled for apparent political reasons.
I would call that censorship by excluding views that differ from their own. It is healthy to see various view, especially if they run counter to your own.
I am a COSTCO member and do not know how to respond.
I do know that I have lost some respect for COSTCO and will explore shopping alternatives for some items, such as electronics.

Kindly ignore the silly Publishers Weekly review at the top of the page. It's very disappointing that PW has allowed editorial quality control to sink to this level.

Whether you like it or not, this book is worth a serious read and a thoughtful review. The PW "writer" is clearly a one-note name-caller with nothing helpful to say. Though I doubt they will care, I've let PW and Amazon know what I think of this kind of biased review. I hope other readers will do the same.

As for the book, Parenti is a top-notch thinker, so I believe anyone interested in the dark side of religion will find excellent grist for the mill. Revelatory? Not exactly, but at 240 pages the author does an excellent job of condensing the ugly truth we all know is out there, with copious notes for further exploration. Other than that, I'll leave it to you to decide.
