I used to follow Ben all the time because of essays like this. Then he became a NeverTrumper. Too bad for him.

It’s odd that the media doesn’t hail this “first responder” in the gratuitous homilies so often reserved for their chosen figures of authority - really odd.

The first sentence states the murderer was an Air Force officer so I stopped reading right there. The murderer was an enlisted troop. Big difference and people who call themselves journalists and think themselves as smart should at least try to research their topics and gain a modicum of understanding before spouting off on said topic.

Wait, do you mean that a spoiled millionaire who plays with balls for a living and who takes a knee during the national anthem isn’t the only kind of hero out there?

Woah.

The nutcase shooter was not an officer, he was enlisted.

Who ever wrote this article was full of crap. Officer, no way.

"...Air Force officer..."

That early sentence is where I stopped reading the article.
Hopefully he thanked both Johnnie Langendorff and Stephen Willeford.

I see it all the time in family law; some insecure lowlife who takes it out on a male baby who is not his—despicable.

Beautifully expressed. Thanks for posting.

Shapiro is screwed up.

The shooter was NEVER an AF Officer!

“Air Force Officer?”

This is why only reporters that wore the uniform should comment.

The guy was an enlisted man, not an officer.

“...a discharged Air Force officer...”

He could try accuracy. He was an E-4 (Senior Airman) reduced in rank to E-1 (Airman Basic).

>>This week, a discharged Air Force officer with a criminal record of domestic abuse,

Stopped right there. A court-martialed E-1 is not an officer and was not "discharged." Ben screwed it up. Again.
