Racist POTUS Trump still won't acknowledge Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr.

[Joe Capitalist]

Just as pilot Chesley (Sully) Sullenberger should never have to pay for a drink or a flight ticket after miraculously landing a doomed plane in the middle of the Hudson River, Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr. should never have to buy breakfast again in his life.
Not a bagel, not an omelete, and certainly not a waffle.
Not after confronting an armed gunman and snatching the still-hot assault rifle from his itchy hands before the shooter, who killed four people Sunday at a Nashville Waffle House, took off.
Ever since Shaw's act of bravery, Americans have been singing this hero's praises.
All except for one.

President Trump, who, after the Florida school shooting in February said he would confront a mass shooter "even if I didn't have a weapon," has yet to utter a public peep about someone who actually did.
Shaw, 29, who just so happens to be black, hasn't even gotten a tweet from the Twitter-addicted President.
President Trump all but pinned a medal of honor on the man who exchanged fire with the Texas church shooter, but has no words for Shaw.

He left the back-patting for his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Saunders.
"I also want to commend the heroic actions of James Shaw Jr.," Saunders said. "Mr. Shaw saved lives when he wrestled a gun from an active shooter who had opened fire."

But Trump himself has said nothing, and his silence has not gone unnoticed.
"Your silence on the Waffle House shooting and bravery of James Shaw Jr. is deafening @realDonaldTrump, especially after recognizing the Toronto victims," tweeted Sara Hoback, a Washington-based homeless counselor. "You are the epitome of a racist and are a soulless human being. Every day it gets worse and worse."
Shaw burned his hand grabbing the gun. A bullet grazed his elbow.
"I was completely doing it just to save myself," a humble Shaw said hours after the shooting. "Now, me doing that, I did save other people. But I don't want people to think that I was the Terminator, or Superman or anybody like that. It was just, I figured if I was going to die, he was going to have to work for it." Shaw saved lives at that Waffle House, and he should be treated like the hero he is.

After a good Samaritan, Stephen Willeford, used his own rifle to exchange shots with a gunman responsible for the deadliest shooting in Texas history, a church massacre in Sutherland Springs, Trump did everything but pin a Medal of Honor on the man's chest.
Willeford, 55, was even the guest of a Texas congressman at Trump's State of the Union address.
"Fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction, otherwise it wouldn't have been as bad as it was," Trump said at the time of the November mass shooting. "It would have been much worse."
Willeford was no less of a hero than Shaw for using his rifle to confront a gunman from across the street.
But Shaw actually got hit by a bullet. He burned his hand on the shooter's smoking gun.
Can a brother get a tweet?

I forgot about Trump's big talk about confronting a shooter himself.

I really see him as a tragic figure. So overwhelmed by his own extreme insecurities - a very sad, lonely life that he leads.

Tragic indeed. The whole incident of him dictating to his doctor what to say about his medical report is laughable.

Phrases like lab results were "astonishingly excellent" and examinations "showed only positive results" were dead giveaways. The scary thing is Trump actually believed that he could fool people in believing his doctor wrote it.
What kind of fucking moron would think he could pull this type of thing over on the general public?
Does he really think Americans are that stupid?
Well maybe some of them are. After all, they got him elected:



This president will go down in Presidential history as the biggest bozo in American history.

Shaw does not fit the right wing /Trump narrative. Trump never cedes a thing. He still has not admitted he was wrong on the Central park 5. hate and bigotry are being normalized.

[Tranquillus in Exile]

Shaw does not fit the right wing narrative.

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."

Or a black guy without a gun.

We don't have enough to whine about.

Where is Domer to say this guy is an idiot for doing what he did?

Didn't the president say he would rush into a school and go after a gun-toter without being armed also?

Dude is an AT&T employee. Awesome.

Yep. Stupid thing to do. Great that it turned out well, but he's fortunate to be alive.

Run to the bullets, Clod! Save us all!
