Left was praising the guy who disarmed him without a gun. As if this was a sensible alternative in all situations.
I had heard that the only reason there was that window of opportunity to tackle the guy was due to the shooter's gun jamming. Was the reason for the pause in shooting confirmed yet?
Right was praising him, too. He deserved praise. Leftists might have been praising him extra hard because he was black, but rightists had similar reasons, to show they aren’t racist, as if that would convince leftists.
But whatever the motives, he deserved praise. He took initiative and fought, instead of hiding in place. He used his noodle, and waited ‘til psycho-boy was reloading for another salvo to make his move, minimizing the risks to himself and others. He was modest, instead of jumping in front of the cameras and making speeches and making it all about him.
The fact that he went to church with his mother and the fact that he is black are big pluses, because that helps sooth, if not heal, the big divide that’s threatening America’s internal cohesion. Trump ought to invite him to the White House sometime soon.
