    This sounds like suicide by cop to me. He just had to get their attention first.

    I can't come down on the killer's family. Some people hide their pain better than others. This is just another reason to reach out to friends and family when you know they're down. My faith in Jesus Christ has kept me going in dark times but some folks see nothing to hope for.

    This is not excusing this idiot's actions in any way, but maybe a phone call from a person that cares can help someone find reasons to go on.

    Don't need no stinkin' drivers license to purchase a firearm, just government provided picture ID...
    I know that. I was just repeating what someone else said should have been a red flag. That along with the fact that he purchased firearms and went to the range and didn't have a job.

    People close to this psychotic should have seen the signs and intervened, well before this happened.


    .
    I have had the misfortune to interact with a couple of people shortly (in one case, only moments) before they committed suicide. I get what you’re saying, I tend to feel the same way, but I also know it doesn’t always work that way. In the case of the person I spoke to moments before he offed himself, there was nothing, not a single thing, to indicate he was going to do what he did. He was personable, friendly, talkative, you name it, he was just like any other interaction with anyone else that day, only he had decided he was done.

    So this murderer rode a bus, used Uber or otherwise walked down the street with two long guns and a pistol? Maybe all were in his bag and went unnoticed? It was reported that one rifle was broken down and still in his pack. Perhaps the hour spent in the pooper was him trying to put together the rifle he used? And he's only 20yo. Yet the hero is his peer at 22yo. How did one brain get so messed up and the other brain recognized right from wrong and corrected the situation? This type of event has seemingly become some kind of fad among the young. Disgustingly sad.

    At this point we don't know that he exhibited any unsusual behavior.

    Maybe if you choose not to or don't want to see the unusual behavior?

    Some people choose to ignore problems until bad actions happen. Then it's too late for the unfortunate victims.

    Could be why we are talking about this?

    Sometimes they don't exhibit unusual behavior. You're making a blanket assumption that all of these people do. You have no evidence that is the case. Do you know the family and his friends personally? Because if you don't, then you have no idea what they did or didn't observe.

    This toolbag also clutched pearls about referring to the hero as a "Good Samaritan", because, according to him, the biblical Good Samaritan cared for wounds, rather than killing the attackers. This seems to be a common theme for lefties today. :rolleyes:

    For the Bible-challenged, the parable of the Good Samaritan comes from Luke 10, in which Jesus attempts to explain to his disciples what he means by "neighbor", after he told them that the second greatest commandment is "Love your neighbor as yourself." His point was that "neighbor" was the one who showed mercy on the victim.

    The key to that parable, though, is its genesis: the command to love your neighbor as yourself. Elsewhere, in John 15, Jesus says this: "Greater love has no man than this: that he lay his life down for his friends."

    So, our hero, if anything, was more than the Good Samaritan, because he went into harm's way to protect the victims.

    Well... his name is "Justin" after all.

    But I was told blood in the streets?!
    And future running for Senate Holcomb will climb the highest Mt yelling he was Governor of Indiana making Constitutional Carry legal, and idiots will vote him in not knowing the truth. Meanwhile I would imagine Lefty ISP Head is probably in deep depression right now. Like to see him and yell, "Hows that CC going these days?"

    How hard do you have to try to get fired in today's work environment, where employers can't find enough people to fill positions?

    Just another reason for suspicion that should have been recognized by friends and family...


    .

    Unknown why he was fired, could simply have showed up late for work 1 to many times, gotten popped on a drug test, or not getting along with supervisor. Those things still gets people fired.

    It's because we are being told that all 18,19 and 20 year old's brains aren't fully developed therefore, they shouldn't be allowed to purchase firearms until they are 21. This latest criminal act of murder with a rifle fits right in with their reasoning behind their firearm restriction proposals just like the two previous incidents.

    This was on Fox News: is this really coming from her mouth? Or is this fake/Fox News?

    "I don’t know who needs to hear this but when a 22-year-old illegally brings a loaded gun into a mall and kills a mass shooter armed with an AR-15 after he already killed three people and wounded others is not a ringing endorsement of our implementation of the Second Amendment," Moms Demand Action Founder Shannon Watts said on Twitter.

    Another:
    "The term, ‘Good Samaritan’ came from a Bible passage of a man from Samaria who stopped on the side of the road to help a man who was injured and ignored," wrote CBS4 traffic anchor Justin Kollar on Twitter Monday. "I cannot believe we live in a world where the term can equally apply to someone killing someone… my God."

    If so I wonder what they think of our military keeping terrorists from slaughtering us.
