Thank you for this link. I'll never stop being surprised by lack of "balanced" reporting by the media. In my mind I would think the media would like to point out the good guys' actions that saved others ... and my wife tells me I'm naïve some times. I'll pass this on to others I talk to who wish we could all just get along but are glad I carry for their benefit.

Nice work!

From memory, Jeanne Assam reported a horrible feeling of intense evil (paraphrasing) which filled the hallway where she would confront the shooter.

Most 'shooters' commit suicide when they are done... just like Judas Iscariot did after he completed his betrayal and collected his blood money. Accounts indicate Judas was possessed and when the deed was done, became 'un-possessed' and then fully realized the horror of what he did and could no longer live with himself.

Human beings who commit horrific acts and who spout off promises to commit such acts, even against their own people (see Iraq and Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, as well as the U.S.) are not acting like human beings. Appeasing such animals only gets people killed.

You don't put your gun down when the bad guy has a hostage. That makes you as dead as the hostage. But I suspect most reasonable people already know this. Democrats and liberals, well, they'd be too busy defending the bad guys. Oh wait, they already do.
