Greenwood mall shooting

[Born2vette]

So details on the evil killer? What type of person(s) should be on our radar when we have to go to the mall?

I just won’t go to the mall. Period!

 

[Yup!]

The following statement was shared on the company's (GWP Mall) behalf:

"We grieve for the victims of yesterday’s horrific tragedy in Greenwood. Violence has no place in this or any other community. We are grateful for the strong response of the first responders, including the heroic actions of the Good Samaritan who stopped the suspect."

I can't see Simon's doing anything negative, more likely they will just keep the signs on the door and not comment. Attacking the good Samaritan would be a PR blunder of epic proportion, keeping the company in a negative light for years. Malls aren't doing business like they used to and bad PR won't help.

I just saw the company statement, shows somebody is thinking right.

Surprised to see this

"If it saves even one life..."

Looks like dozens of lives were saved yesterday.

Agree. They're not gonna go after him, but they won't change anything, either.

What's that sign : Guns are welcome, Keep holstered , If needed use ..... . That is the signs that need posted every place

Where are all of the cell phone videos of this shooting? When will those start showing up? I mean, it was in a mall food court. Guarantee you someone was making a TickTok video when it went down.

I hate it when evil shows it's ugly head like this. families have been torn up for no reason.
The only silver lining is that the ******* who did it, is now burning in hell.
At least there was a happy ending.
Bless you armed citizen.

Let's face it most in the media at both national news agencies and local, generally speaking don't know much about guns or gun laws. I doubt if more than 1 or 2 even realize that here in IN, those signs don't carry weight of law.
We know those signs don't carry any legal authority. But it does present their position just the same as having an unenforceable dress code. I mean imagine INGO having a "must wear pants" rule. It would be ignored just the same (think of Printcraft as an example lol).
So while I don't like the context it's being used by media, I'm not bothered by the "he shouldn't have had a gun based on mall policy" BS as it's a mostly unenforceable rule anyway

And if the anti’s understood it, they likely would be pushing to change it…

Two armed individuals disregarded your senseless no firearm allowed policy. You should be grateful that a Good Samaritan was one of them.

I have one of these around somewhere in my garage...

I can just see the committee hearings. Our hero from yesterday needs only show up, testify, "If this were the law, I would be dead today." If such a bill even got that far, it would die, right there.

Was it Sen. Feinstein who suggested that people with bad intentions would read these signs prohibiting firearms and simply walk away?

My daughter and a granddaughter were there in the food court just 2 hours prior. If preliminary reports of the citizen responder engaging and then closing on the target are true, he really laid it on the line for his fellows. Thank you from your fellow citizens. With much respect.

yes, laid it on the line is right.
In his position, one of my immediate fears would have been hitting another innocent person. It still would have been the right decision to stop someone trying to massacre others but just knowing that risk and overcoming it is no small thing.

Just saw they raided the shooters apt. at 3a.m. You would think some neighbor would have posted who it was by now?

 

[HoosierLife]

Can’t confirm, but someone in the comments of one of Fox59’s Facebook posts says the shooter lived at Polo Run in Greenwood.

Social media is not representative of the population as a whole. That is just as true of Reddit (if not moreso), as it is of Twitter, Facebook, etc. Reddit is, and most of the subreddit mods are, very left-leaning.

Esp. since replying to idiot leftists in the same tone they hurl at you tends to get you banned.

I was banned from Reddit years ago. Screw them.
