Colorado shooting: Three men died taking bullets for their girlfriends

Written by Michael Skolnik
Bullets. Bullets. More Bullets. And even more bullets. One shot. Two shot. Three shot. More shot. Screams of agony. Cries of babies. Yells of children. the dark night.
Out of breathe. We grab those around us.  We run to red lights of exit signs amid the darkness. We lay prone on the floor.  We pretend to be dead hoping someday we will breathe again. We jump on top of those we love hoping that if one more bullet comes our way, it hits us and not them. hoping. Truly hope that the bullet hits me. a strange thought. A thought that we never thought we would have thought.
We walk gently through life never imagining moments like these. There is no practice. No manual. No preparation. We rely purely on our instincts. Purely on the connection between our thoughts and the movements of our bodies. There is no time for contemplation.  No time for reason. No time for time itself. Only time for hope and prayers.

Deep prayers. Deep breaths. One breath. Two breath. Three breath. No breath. Three men. Three men jumped on top their girlfriends as bullets flew through Theater Nine at Century Cinemas in Aurora, Colorado on Friday morning. Amidst chaos. Amidst gunfire. Amidst tear gas. These three men thought of the women they loved and used their bodies to protect them. They threw them to the floor. Under the seats. They held them tight. They held onto their beautiful women as tight as they possibly could. Lying on top of their bodies in case a bullet came their way.

All three of their girlfriends survived this unfathomable early morning massacre. Jansen Young, Samantha Yowler and Amanda Lindgren made it out of the theater that night to breathe another breath. The breaths are hard to finish because the three men, the three boyfriends took bullets. They took bullets to save their ladies.
Jansen had the courage to recall those last moments, "There was kind of a break in between each gunshot. Every gunshot, I was like, ‘This is it . . . I’m done for.’ Jon gave me one good push against that concrete again and then . . . I didn’t really feel his arms against my back anymore but I knew he was still there.” When the gunshots went quiet, Jansen realized her boyfriend was shot. “I started shaking him and saying, ‘Jon, Jon, we have to go . . . it’s time for us to get out of here." But he didn't move. His breath was gone.

However, his heroic act will forever be remembered. And so will the bravery of the other two men.
These were the last moments of three heroes.
Jon Blunk, Matt McQuinn and Alex Teves.
Remember these names.
~Michael Skolnik


Jon Blunk and his girlfriend, Jansen Young
Matt McQuin and his girlfriend, Samantha Yowler

May their souls rest in perfect peace. Wow, very selfless love. For those admiring this and wishing to marry dudes like that, I ask 'how many babes can protect their men and die for them if necessary. I pray the partners of the departed ones find the strength to go through this trying time. I also pray God to show us all how to be selfless in love.

False Flag Ritual Killing Through Mind Control. Nothing else can explain this.

RIP to the lost souls, but whatever powers in high places who have need for innocent blood on the nite of a Full Moon, In a town named 'Aurora' after the Roman Goddess of Dawn, known as the mother of the Morning Star (Lucifer) should know that people are waking up.

The patterns are clear, he's a Manchurian candidate, who's been conditioned under the guise of a neuroscience grad, and he's being paraded as the joker (psychopath), even though the Mugshot the police initially released to the press (which they took) were of him without orange hair, or under the influence of drugs ...obviously so he could look incoherent and crazed.

It doesn't add up that he handed himself in, he also disclosed his plans to detectives, yet when he was paraded on the news, he could hardly state his name.

People wake up, be vigilant, the world we live in is filling up with hatred and bloodlust, don't be used as pawns by 'Puppet Masters' or be victims.

He may be portrayed as a monster, but he also is a victim of powers beyond most people's understanding. A recluse, evidently, but someone who wanted to help people, who's family is devastated as much as the family of those who lost loved ones.

Mind Control is what's used to indoctrinate terrorist, even some minor crimes are committed by people under MK programming to assess their compliability, it is used by governments, and often most people are not aware they are under influence...like hypnosis...all they need is an agent provocateur and riots ensue or crimes against innocent people are committed. Don't get carried away 'Own Your Own Minds' don't wager your souls to charlatans and murderers who send others to do their works so that their hands are not stained.

We all need to open our eyes. Keep away from wizards disguised as preachers, wolves in sheep clothing....and remove anger, hatred and intolerance from your minds so you can begin to think clearly.

Be illuminated. The time for ignorant bliss is over. The New World is here, wake up!

Yeah big questions are:

*CAN A NIGERIAN LADY TAKE A BULLET FOR HIS MAN/BF?
*HOW MANY NIGERIAN GIRLS ARE WORTH DYING FOR?

Can't do this for a naija girl cos after 2 months she will be back getting love in another guy's arms and there goes the memories of the last lover. In naija every soul for themselves. At least I'm being honest.

Hmmm my type of men, but trust me:

To take d bullet for u only if its made of rubber.
To use ma body as bulletshield for u,only if am wearing a proof.
To die in ur stead,only if u once donated a kidney to me.
To die for u,only if its anoda Titanic movie.
To die for u,if only am d son of God,since ressurection is sure.
But with d rate Naija gurls are pouring acid on d men,such heroic feat seems rare here.~BONARIO~ says so via NOKIA3310.

so sad! looking at the three pictures one can see one common thing among them: which is deep smile on their faces. this is real love. we can't find true love in nigeria. nigerian men/women fall in love for what they get from it i.e what the person worth and not what the person really is. so, its food for thought.

Their actions were bourn out of instincts! Had u given them a minute to think, they wd run. That's Why a complete stranger can push u out of harm's way and be. D victim instead. While my heart bleeds for these men and their girlfriends who would forever live in guilt. I can assure my nigerian men that they wd do the same, so long as its instincts. It comes naturally that a man wd want to protect his lady in d face of danger.

no, men should always prove that they are mature, protective and reponsible. I conform men should always lay their lives for their wives/girl friends at least, for posterity. Women are reproductive, so the life cycle continues. Nigerian men, oya prove your mettle.

I assure you that in a few yrs time the women WILL FORGET what these men look like and only have a fleeting memory of this sad day.Unbelievable,shallow maybe but true.

So was it worth the men dying for them?I say NO.........And I am female!If they were married and had children then yes it makes it all the more worth it.They share a lineage together but boyfriend/girlfriend matter;I laugh.The LIVES OF THE WOMEN WILL GO ON.

RIP guys.I hope your family find some modicum of peace knowing that you all died as heroes.

when i first read this on Global Grind i had goose bumps all over. i used it as my bbm status and had some of my male friends tackle me about it. i admire what these young men did. it really takes a lot of gut to do so. and may they rest in perfect peace (i urge my fellow women who these men made this huge sacrifice for, to not only hold but cherish these men in their memories becauses without this price they wouldnt be here today) come to think of it, in this world today husbands aint even ready to take a bullet for their wives even in most families, you cant say same for them.

This story reminds me of Goldie and Prezzo. Prezzo could not leave the BBA house for Goldie talk more of dying for her. Anyway,I hope we now understand the true meaning of love......not just God's type of love but man's type of love for man. jaynewhyte.blogspot.com

Can you take bullets for your man? See your dirty mouth "those are the kind of men I want to marry" They will take bullets for u, they will die and you will live and marry another man. Mumu

Reading through the post and I just kept thinking of my boyfriend and how I need to appreciate him more...I bet you, he will do the same for me. He always puts himself in danger's way for my sake(and yes I am a clumsy girl). It irritates me most times but that's just him, and he is a Nigerian......May the souls of these heroic boyfriends rest in peace and I pray they make heaven for what they did. Amen

The girls probably ran out and made the story up, so not to look bad.

I bet there're couples that made it out together cause' of love.Who told u my skin is made out of kevlar? Run as fast as ur legs can carry u abeg.

I cried while I was reading this. Not only because of the actions of these men gone but also the way the writer captured it.

Then I made the mistake of reading the comments. Bunch of people trying to make little of something so noble. God's law is love. Love is taking a bullet for someone else whether you know the person or not.

Life is a test. You pass, you go to heaven. It's a staging area before the main event. Don't be too busy trying to save your life that you lose it.

Enough said. God bless you all.

They surely are heroes where a father in that same hall abandoned his baby. May the souls of all the victims in that incidence rest in peace. Amen
