The off-duty police officer who shot and killed a man suspected of stabbing nine people in a Minnesota mall is deflecting praise from people who call him a hero.

Jason Falconer is being hailed by authorities, Gov. Mark Dayton and others for stopping a man suspected of carrying out the attack Saturday night in a St. Cloud mall. Federal authorities say they are treating it as a potential act of terrorism.

He likely wants to make himself less of target for those that hate us.

“He is now a target. Thanks news media!...red”

Once his name got out his address could be found easily by just about anyone.

But, but, but...

According to the Crossroads Center Mall Code of Conduct, firearms are prohibited.

Quite a conundrum.

I was watching the press conference and I think it was the Mayor who name the officer.

I don’t blame him. I would want to keep a low profile myself. From both enemies: The Government and the muslims.

Someone better tell Dayton that the copy used a GUN so he can go into his Safe Space and snuggle with his pillow for a while.

Hailed by Mark Dayton...LOL...the ass who hid under his desk on 9/11 when he was a senator. Yes. I live in MN but have NEVER voted for the prick in any way, shape or form. He is mentally ill.

I knew someone who was involved in an incident. He killed the perp. Someone else came up and claimed to have done it. As it turned out he is still alive, the one who claimed to have done it somehow was assassinated a few months later.

I wonder how those guys are doing, the ones who stopped the attack on the French train.

If I were one of them, I would be keeping a low profile and staying as far as possible from the radar screen. One gets to celebrate more birthdays that way.

WHAT? I was expecting him to be in jail by now with a very high bond on some BS Hate Crime charges!

When did MN sober up? ;)
