'Good Samaritan' Who Killed Mall Shooter Broke Property Rules Against Guns
NewsWEAK ^ | 7/18/2022 | Emma Meyer

Posted on 07/19/2022 5:44:01 AM PDT by Lazamataz

The good Samaritan who shot and killed the gunman who opened fire in the Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana on Sunday afternoon reportedly broke the property's policy against weapons.

The suspected shooter entered the mall on Sunday carrying a rifle and multiple magazines and opened fire in the food court, killing at least three and injuring three before he was shot to death. Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said the suspected shooter was killed by a "good Samaritan with a handgun."

The mall is owned by Simon Property Group, and the group's code of conduct, last updated in April of 2020, lists "No weapons" as number three.

Note the headline: "Good Samaritan" is in quotes, which is often used editorially to challenge a concept or phrase. So, NewsWeak doesn't like that this mass murder was thwarted by someone carrying concealed.

Also, they point out that the good guy violated a property RULE?

Tell me, did he also JAYWALK getting to the mall???

That is AWFUL.

What evil people populate NewsWeak.

There is probably more of them than people who actually read their drivel.

Um. How come they didn’t point out that the person who killed the people (customers) also violated the same rule? Because they’re Leftards.

How stupid is NewsWeak? Perhaps they don’t think that people can put two and two together and recognize that gun free zones invite criminals and mass shooters.

Store policies don’t mean crap to me. I come from the school of the customer is always right. Any business that has a problem with that just lost me as a customer.

In other words, don’t go to the mall.
Don’t patronize any “gun free” zone (except the polling place).

The mass murderers and the criminals will never follow the law. If the citizens are disarmed, they are ducks in a barrel (or are they sitting fish?). This is a perfect example of it. if the “good samaritan” followed the rules, there would be a lot more blood to mop up.

But the mall shooter also broke their no gun rule, so what did the mall do to prevent that person from entering? The Mall could of prevented the issue if they just enforced their own rules!

the mall's property policy does not permit weapons on the premises

Someone thinks the mall's rules supersede rights enumerated in the Constitution and recently clarified and affirmed by SCOTUS?

Is what some merchant group's representatives puts on an entrance sign to their place of business able to force a person into a contract of obedience that would nullify the Constitution?

Um, that’s why it’s called “concealed carry”. Did the guy with the rifle care about the sign?

98% OF MASS-SHOOTINGS OCCUR IN GUN-FREE ZONES

REPEAL THE GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE ACT OF 1990


FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. 98+% of the time the gun is not fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

I like to think that the “Samaritan” was just enforcing the Mall’s policies, with extreme prejudice, on the a-hole shooter.

As far as breaking the Mall’s rules, the worst THEY can do is ask someone to leave.

Put simply: for the sake of a rule and an agenda, Newsweek would have preferred people to die.

“The mall is owned by Simon Property Group, and the group’s code of conduct”

Simon Property Groups “Code of Conduct” applies ONLY to the tenants and their employees.
Paying customers are not bound by that policy.

I guess they would rather he paid attention to the signs and more people had been killed.

I would agree up to the last few years. One of these days, one or more leftists slags is/are going to shoot up a polling place and I don’t intend to be caught with my holster empty.

When the shopping mall,in North Texas, was open in our area they had no concealed weapons allowed signs on all the mall doors except for the Sears stores and in going from Sears into the rest of the mall there were no signs forbidding concealed weapons. Guess what entrance I used when I went shopping there?
