Hindsight is 20/20. When the shooting started, the person on stage would be considered the most likely target. Everyone with any sense would have done the same.
I agree.
that’s true- he very well could have thought it was a specific attempt on his life because he is famous- However- after figuring out that it was a mass shooting- it would have been nice to see him and crew helping the wounded- and it would have been nice to hear “Sure, but I can’t perform on that evening, i have a prior engagement- I will however do a benefit for the victims and their families very shortly- My heart and prayers go out to each victim and their families”
Noone can blame him for running off stage- however, remaining hidden while his fans lay dying was what has so many people pissed at him- I’ll repeat the post from post 35 here as it fits so well
“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”
Winston Churchill
That is what a hero does- responds positively to his or her opportunity to make a difference. He missed his one great chance- now he has to live with that failure
