Abdul Aziz: The man who saved lives by running at the Christchurch gunman
ABC News (Australia) ^ | Sunday, March 17, 2019 | Staff Reporter

Posted on 03/16/2019 4:53:48 PM PDT by Star Traveler

Abdul Aziz did not hide when the shooter advanced toward the Linwood mosque during Friday prayers, killing those in his path.

Instead, he picked up the first thing he could find — a credit card machine — and ran outside screaming "Come here!"

Mr Aziz, 48, has been praised for saving many people inside by leading the gunman on a cat-and-mouse chase before scaring him into speeding away in his car.

At the first mosque, the shooter almost got taken down, by what I saw in the video. But, the shooter managed to gain control and shoot the defender, unfortunately. You don't hear as much on the news about this second mosque, where they did manage to chase off the shooter.

[And ... the date looks like it's wrong, but it's right, it's "tomorrow" in Australia.]

Yeah that’s a shame.

That was sarcasm.

Why are so many giving a #### about people that would kill us int the BLINK OF AN EYE if they had the chance?!?!?

How many muslims held candles and marched after 9/11?

After ANY Christian killing.

Yeah I know. We’re “better than that”.

Just like republicans have been “better than that” all these years until Trump.

I don’t give a #### about this attack, I’ll eat my dinner just fine, and I’ll sleep like a baby.

Ciao

“Yeah I know. We’re “better than that”.

I’m not. And I don’t give a damn what anyone says about it.

My second thought is...how can you have a credit card if you are prohibited from charging interest?

Mr. Aziz's actions are a model of what to do if you don't have a weapon to fight back with. He even grabbed a weapon discarded by the terrorist and tried it in case there was ammunition left in it.

At the first mosque a very brave man tried to wrestle the gun away from the murderer, but was unsuccessful and died in the attempt.

It appears from this news report that Mr. Aziz grabbed a gun dropped by the murderer and did not have his own weapon.

Thank you.

how many of these ####s cried when I lost fireman friends?

How many cried when 3000 people died and some JUMPED out of windows because of the intensity of the heat!?!?

How many cried when HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Christians were massacred by ISIS!!? With more full graves to be discovered I’m sure.

As far as I’m concerned, the people posting about how one muslim almost stopped the shooter and OH MY GOD HE’S A HERO and SO MANY WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED!!!

With all due respect, GTF out of here. These people would kill ANY of us and DANCE ON OUR GRAVES afterwards.

Can’t say that I don’t relate to your reaction about it.

I read about how many thousands of Christians and Europeans they slaughter without even so much as a hiccup from the press lamenting it or shaming the Muslim community.

You better believe that “Whites” and “Christians” will be demonized for this attack by the evil Islamics and Press.
The mouth-breathing AOC is already doing it.

At the same time, the idiot who did this is a complete psychopath worthy of immediate execution once convicted.

It’s like the schools telling their students to throw rocks at these shooters. Give me a gun anytime. These people are cowards.
