Needs a medal from the president for his bravery and self sacrifice. Praying for healing, in the Name of Jesus.

What a wonderful display of ‘toxic masculinity’

I read elsewhere that this teacher discussed other school shootings, and he told his students he would rush the shooter, if it happened in his class. He wanted to reassure his students he would protect them.

And he did.

We all need to be ready.

That’s true. He can’t be possibly bothered to actually do something for the money.

Isn’t the old mantra - ‘flee a knife, charge a gun’?

Witnesses said the 29-year-old former college football player ran toward bullets as he tackled the student shooter. He was shot three times, according to his brother.

...

That’s better than being a sitting duck.

This shooting sure has gotten ignored by the national media. (just a few miles from me).

Probably because of this guy doing the right thing.

I haven’t heard crap about the shooter or his background.

It’s a shame the globalist left wants good guys disarmed. I’d bet he could have shot that baby thug faster than the thug could have shot him even once. Instead, he had to rush against bullets.

Uh,huh.. they said “seamen”....

Seriously, what a brave guy. That is an act of selflessness that will forever bring honor to his name..... and serves to remind us of all the graves around us holding the remains of our brave policeman, fireman and servicemen, many equally as selfless.

Too bad he didn’t have a CC weapon.
