It's been a little over 4 hours and the fund has over $114k. Probably due to Tapper putting it on Twitter. See..he can do something worthwhile!

I know he was shot seven times and hurried kids out of the school and then ran back in, but what did he do?

Did he physically block the way of other kids so they could get out?

either way he’s a gutsy (or crazy or maybe both) guy. Glad he survived.

All I know is that he tried to block the door. Shooter got in. Shooter shot him again while laying on the floor.

Wonder why he didn’t kill him.

Tapper’s performs random acts of conservatism sometimes.

If Osh*t-he@d had his way, all the veterans would run away from shooters like pansies with their hands flapping besides their shoulders crying, “Don’t shoot me! I’m a delicate flower!”

Well, he gave it a good try, but didn’t shoot him in the head.

He couldn’t have cared that the guy said it was his kid’s birthday or he wouldn’t have shot him 7 times.

we will never know we he didn’t take the head shot.

maybe just moved on to kill others.

piece of garbage.

God bless this boy. What a hero. He saved the lives of at least 7 people.

I'm very curious how he broke both legs. The campus looks to be mostly on one level so a fall seems unlikely.

Those will never see the light of day.

Imagine if the soldiers didn’t stop that guy in France. Nobody has a gun there. He could have killed maybe 60 or more? i’m not even sure all the police carry guns,

Didn’t the first police to show up at charlie hebdo come on bikes with no guns?

This is where one of those young men went to school. If not for Dancing With the Stars he would have been on campus

Alex (train hero) would have been on that Oregon campus if he hadn’t decided to do Dancing with the Stars.

ABC paid for him to go back to Oregon. No doubt they will be filming it!

Is there a non 'Gofundme' option?
Seeing that 'GoFundMe' has been fairly anti-Christian in their policies (refusing to support Christian Bakers/Florists who are being persecuted by the Sodomite Nazis in the Government), I'm a bit surprised they didn't come out with GoFundMe fundraising for the shooter.

I have been waiting for someone to try that. The problem is that the media is treating shooter like a right wing Nazi. Hard for BlacklivesMatter to capitalize on that..but they still may try to find a way once black mother comes forward.

Even the Daily Beast reports this story. Stranger things have happened. I think the left realizes that the passive Millennials need tough, self- sacrificing, brave role models or they will be lemmings driven off the cliff.

I don’t know how much of this will go the funding site for their commission but I hope the internet makes Mr. Mintz a millionaire.

Ex-military? I would be surprised if GoFundMe allowed it.

Maybe it’s the capitalist pig in them seeing their commissions rise on the publicity. Funds at 172k right now.

Before going into spinal surgery, Anastasia Boylan, 18, recounted her ordeal to her father from her hospital bed, explaining how the gunman, open firing, had entered her classroom. It was her fourth day of college.

“I’ve been waiting to do this for years,” the gunman told the professor who was teaching the class, before shooting the teacher point blank, Boylan said.

I’m very curious how he broke both legs...

I think I heard a woman who was there say he was shot in both legs first, then we he said it was his son’s birthday, he was shot 3 more times. But pretty sure she said the first shots that hit him were all in the legs.

He deserves our support, not those like the Muslim with the clock.
