Air Force veteran John Parker said he was armed but was not allowed to assist the victims during the shooting.
Parker is a student at Umpqua Community College.
John Parker was in the veteran’s center with other veterans. He went out to help the victims. But officials barred him from helping the victims as they were being gunned down.
“ “I was carrying. And I was ready to help.”
Parker told Hannity, “I’m licensed to carry and I will continue to carry.”

The tile states that it is a video. They guy was on Hannity and the video is embedded there, not just the caption.
yep.
Law enforcement was there!!
All you needed to do was read the story.
Guys we are being used by the likes of Glen Beck, Gateway Pundit, etc., etc.,etc.,.......
If we are going to win the war for this culture for our country we have too stop being used by these sensationalists.
When I was a kid I thought the WWII Germans were so cool because they had some awesome uniforms. My aunt set me straight about the Holocaust and to this day I abhor what Germany allowed Hitler to do and the many who went along with it or simply did nothing to stop it.
If we see evil happening it is our duty as a human being to try and stop it.
PARENTS own the school..!!
Thank you...!!
Nice doing business with you.
“Shelter in Place” is taught to students but is known by its more common phrase, “Cower, Scream, Die.”
They did fight back the best they could. One vet, Chris Mintz, took five or seven bullets. He saved many lives. He's the hero.
“How did officials bar him from going to their aid?
Were the officials armed?
Seems like he could have just told them to shut up, get out of his way, and watch”.
He could have. A real man would have taken control.
My only question is why he even asked permission. Active shooter on campus? Carry out the Plan of the Day: Stop the shooter with all necessary force.
The President of this college and specific officials who prevented this brave solder
from saving lives should be fired..immediately.
was kinda wondering WTF about that...(is it a true story?)
I carry, have carried lo these many years, WITHOUT .gov PERMISSION, and good luck telling me to do otherwise...
this is why you carry; because others can’t & won’t stand up to defend the defenseless, even their own.
Sounds like he was a wuss with no will or sense of duty.
He should have kept his mouth shut, because damn dude, you just publicly admitted to being a NYT Modern Man P*SSY.
I would have done it anyway in that position. Perhaps if an “official” was pointing a gun at me I would stand down.
A form of shock, I suppose. In 1966 Richard Speck murdered eight Chicago women in their apartment, one by one, with a knife.
But if it comes to things like banning drugs and sex, libs then say we might as well throw rules out the window because nobody will obey them. As far as drugs and sex, they're right.
However, some women have come under attack by feminists for advocating women learn how to defend themselves against sexual assault. The feminists really believe telling people not to rape, holding candlenight vigils, and "take back the night" marches will stop rapists. They won't. And telling crazy people not to murder other people will not stop the crazy people. Because they're evil and/or crazy.
Simply banning guns or rape does nothing to stop people from shooting and raping. Active measures must be taken. Allow validated people to carry guns in classrooms. Put up signs announcing anybody attempting to shoot up classrooms will be shot and killed by armed students.
In the classroom where they were being murdered one by one, no one apparently fought back.
EXACTLY!!!! what I was thinking.
“Sorry, sir, you’re not allowed to walk in that direction and help people.”
“Oh, well as long as you say so, never mind.”
Yea, but if nobody knows about it, then you are a “shooter” on campus. Even if you’re shooting at the bad guy.
Don’t get me wrong, he should have done what he could have to help. But someone has to know he’s out there doing it and okay it so they can tell the cops there’s a good guy out there and what he looks like.
80 seconds? The one and only security guard for the college wasn’t armed so that means LEO were johnny on the spot. How did they get there so fast or was this another Twins Peaks where they were already in place and had it all in their crosshairs before hand?
You can arrest me later now get the hell out of my way.
