Arizona Democratic House Minority Leader Chad Campbell called the plan to use Seagal as an instructor "ludicrous."
"Steve Seagal is an actor. That's it. Why don't we also have Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis come out and train them too while we're at it," Campbell said.

I think Chad Campbell should do his homework before he opens his mouth. Seagal is a 7th dan in aikido. Chuck Norris was the first Westerner in the documented history of TKD to be given the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grand Master. Bruce Willis did work as a security guard before he was an actor. Clint Eastwood never favoured empty hand. He much preferred a gun, and in his 80s he is a bit old, but I would rock up for training any day with Seagal or Norris. :asian:

I'll go shoot 44 magnum with Clint...Make my day!

At 82 he probably won't make your day!

Ageism rears its ugly head...

LOL, he looks too much like my ad.. that would be icky! ^_^

After he put this preachy, self-righteous crap in On Deadly Ground, who has taken him seriously?

What has a failed movie to do with his ability to train people to provide security to schools? :idunno:

I'd bet on Clint!

Did you think that was a gun in his pocket?

I consider him to be a wind bag....

I heard somebody with an armory of axes to grind pull all kinds of 'this is his court record in New Jersey, go look it up'
And you know, you can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.

(and Under Siege is his only good movie...)

“Anybody who has criticized me or the sheriff for standing up to help the children, in my opinion, is an embarrassment to the human race,” Seagal told reporters on Saturday.

best defense is a good attack, right.

I'm finding it hard to understand that after the school shooting many people were advocating volunteer security for schools but when someone actually does something about it, he cops flack. Seems to me, some people just don't like Seagal. :asian:

 

[arnisador]

I think the point is that there are probably much better trainers out there who haven't starred in nearly as many movies. I like him too but he wouldn't be my first thought for school shooter scenario training.

yep, it seems like it....


I am trying hard to think about the last movie he made...Glimmer man comes to mind...I watched the first 15 minutes I think, turned it off. I don't think he has dne much 'work' since...except his short lived TV show...

He seems to have a talent to rub people the wrong way. NOW, if Chuck Norris had offered....but I am guessing he knows his limitations....as does Clint wink

I have my doubts that aikido is enough of a qualification in a school shooter scenario, nor film work, although the movies seem to be utilized as training material by the bad guys....

Sheriff is an elected position. Having Joe smith come train them gets you no publicity.

well, it can backfire to invite some people though...

On the other hand...I am sure sheriff is getting extra points for taking actions...whether or not the training actually amounts to a hill of beans...chances are they will never find out anyhow....

I'm sure this is not the only training these people are getting
