Indianapolis Mall Shooter Killed by Good Samaritan

As more and more people are armed and kill people in public places, I guess there will be more opportunities for good guys with guns to be heroes. That’s definitely a glass half full take.

 

More good ol gun violence that led to 4 people dead, it’s as American as apple pie. Yay!

 

Ultimately, we are responsible. Uvalde’s police response demonstrated that quite well. The veneer of safety and security is quickly shattered by an angry driver, a despondent teen or even a misguided police officer.

 

You gun nuts just want to treat the symptoms, not the cause. Every solution is “more guns” which is not a solution but an arms race.

 

Armed 4-year olds shooting at police now. Yay!!!

Four-Year-Old Shoots At Officers In Utah

 

Gun nuts will say there should’ve been a Good Samaritan present to shoot the armed 4-year old.

 

Not only that but in a perfect America there would be an armed bystander to shoot the Good Samaritan.

 

And then another armed bystander to shoot the armed bystander who shot the Good Samaritan who shot the 4-year old. Sounds like a wonderful society to live in!

 

Good apsamaraitin kept it to only four innnocent dead people.

Yay?

 

I wonder how the Samaritan got the jump on this shooter, who was apparently shooting a rifle, whereas the Samaritan reportedly was armed with a handgun. Shooter was maybe 20 yrs old and had more guns stashed in the bathroom. Why do kids want to do this on their way out?
Just me personally, but I prefer not to count the shooter among the dead. Three innocent people lost their lives to senseless violence and at least one other is wounded, reportedly a 12yr old girl. Hope she makes a full recovery.

Edit: 12yr old girl was treated and released. Another is still in the hospital.

 

sooner or later there will be - another armed bystander who doesn’t see the original shooter but sees the first armed bystander draw

 

He’s a hero no doubt, but doesn’t change the fact that guns killed 5 people in this situation and could have killed more.

 

Glad the cops didn't kill him when they showed up.

 

I was wondering about that, too. How does he present himself to the LEOs upon their arrival?

 

of course he deserves credit, my post wasn’t about him though. The point is that “good guys with guns” aren’t the answer when there’s still four people dead and two more hurt, even if it could have been worse.

 

The point is no one deserves to die at the hands of a mass shooter.
