    Jesus God!

    Who gives a fuck about race.

    This young man is not only a genuine hero but a humble one and I for one would like to see him honored at the highest national level.

    I’m sure he would be uncomfortable with that but he earned it and should be recognized.

    Hopefully Fox will make a big deal of his heroism and he'll be honored by Twittler. Or at least acknowledged, in between frantic tweets about Comey and Mueller and Hillary.

    Way to go James! God bless him and load him up with medals...what a brave, decent soul this young man is.
    Agree, this man saved some lives from a gun nut, and he didn't have one.

    Most of your fellow Travelers, that's who. Do you really think black as coal would have made this thread if the hero wasn't black?

    Travis Reinkingt:.... He wanted to meet with President Donald Trump.

    Reinking, who was taken into custody Monday afternoon, told a Secret Service officer at the northeast entrance that he was a "sovereign citizen"

    4 people died and more were wounded, including this hero. how much faster could he have stopped this had he had a gun?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    From what I read...not much. He didn't even realize it was a shooting till he saw someone laying on the floor. He thought a stack of dishes had fallen. He then reacted immeadiatly. So I don't think his having a gun would have made that much of a difference in time.

    I like his thinking. He's going to have to work to kill me! Gun or no gun, that's a survivors mentality!

    might be true, might not. I know when i'm carrying my gun, my situational awareness jumps from a 6 to a 9.

    He is a hero.
    But I would have to say it is evident that the guy who tried to to kill him gave a fuck about his race after killing four other people of color seconds before.
    If you were honest you would be saying that too.
    This was a racial mass murder.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    Your fellow racist travelers, like PmP, don't want to recognize that this was a racial mass murder.
    Why is that?

    somebody from you group of libs against guns......please answer a question for me.

    what reason do you have to believe that an average citizen is incapable of having the same mental and tactical abilities that you believe only cops are capable of?
