The 'hero with a gun' story is a statistical unicorn - open thread

[Into the Night]

I mean, I have a theory as to the root cause: entitlement.

This guy thought he was entitled to do whatever the fuck he wanted to do, just like the mass shooter he shot, and that the rules don't apply to him.

If he brought the gun to the mall that day, chances are he's brought it to that mall many times before.

And every time he brought that gun to the mall, he wasn't doing it because there was a mass shooter lurking -he couldn't have known that unless he was in on it- he was doing it to feel like a big man for thumbing his nose at authority.

That doesn't make him a good guy...it makes him a bad guy.

I'm just going to let this insanity by this nutcase speak for itself.

If you have a rule in your home that says I can't bring weed in there because you think it's a gateway drug, but I still bring the weed to your house and smoke it in front of you, does that make me a good guy or a bad guy?

Or if you don't want to do that thought experiment with weed, then replace it with something you would ban from your home and then ask yourself if I'd be a bad guy for ignoring your rule and bringing it to your home anyway?

Now trying to pivot.

 

[Into the Night]

Ok, ask yourself this...

If you have a rule that bans something in your home because you think it's dangerous, and you post that rule and tell everyone about it, but then I show up to your house with the thing you banned and use right in front of you, would you consider me a good guy or a bad guy for flouting your rule?

Because if someone did that to me, I'd consider them a bad guy because they don't think the rules of my house apply to them when they're in my house.

Now trying to pivot to a home situation. Irrational.

not even remotely the same thing. again, we reject all of your bullshit on this. reasonable people do not see things in your black and white world. It's wholly illogical.

Glad you see it too.

 

[Into the Night]

Totally the same thing because the guy had no idea that there was a mass shooter lurking when he brought the gun to the mall that day.

So it's the same thing...if you have a rule that says I'm not allowed to bring X into your home because you think X is dangerous, but I bring X into your home anyway and use X in front of you despite your rules, you call me an asshole, wouldn't you?

So how is this any different? Again, that guy had no idea there was a mass shooter there, so he didn't bring the gun to stop a mass shooting.

This nutcase is actually trying to make it his major theme. Irrational.

 

[Into the Night]

What is illogical is celebrating someone who doesn't think the rules apply to them.

Had he shot six inches to the left or right, he would have killed an innocent person and none of you assholes would even be talking about this.

What this guy did after flouting the rules and becoming a bad guy doesn't erase flouting the rules and becoming a bad guy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now this nutcase is trying to redefine 'irrational'! That only shows he KNOWS he is being irrational!

 

[Into the Night]

The only bad guy in this scenario aside from the active shooter are those who attempt to eliminate the inalienable right of self defense in a public spaces and places of public accommodation and they should all be rounded up and put in unmarked mass graves for crimes against the people.

This may happen someday...and such would deserve it, since they are defending criminals.

 

[Into the Night]

Now show us the stats when the assailant of an average crime was stopped by a good guy with a gun you retarded faggot. Guns are used more than 2 million times a year in self defense.

This person seems confused.

 

[Into the Night]

OK, so the mall had a policy that banned guns.

A guy saw that rule and brought a gun into the mall anyway.

Another guy also saw that rule and brought a gun into the mall anyway.

So which of those guys was the bad guy and which was the good guy?

Was it the guy who brought the gun into the mall, or the other guy who brought the gun into the mall?

Because when they both brought guns into the mall, no one knew which was which...AND THAT IS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT.

That's because guns don't commit crimes people do dipshit.

Yeah....definitely confused.

Link that says he saw it...u got a pic of the sign at the door that says No Guns?

This is where LV246 runs away and tries to pivot.

 

[Into the Night]

The Mali praised Dicken’s heroic actions. Didn't say a word about the gun ban...not against the law to ignore a “no firearms” sign




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.

GREENWOOD PARK MALL REPRESENTATIVE

Nice to see the mall support a Good Samaritan like this. As is typical, the lies of LV246 are laid bare for all to see.
