    Yet another example of immigrants coming here and disrupting the lives of honest white mass murderers. How dare they.

    EDIT: Not white, it seems.

      But that’s the difference between well integrated Muslims (who shoot at Jewish people as a white supremacist would) and not integrated people who reject racism and stop any killing of people. All this peace and love is not compatible with Western values.

    I always picture myself heroically charging the gunman with a few people I made eye contact with right before, but this guy actually went and did it. Solo to boot.

      You really never know until the moment comes. If you’re that kind of person, your mind just blanks and you’re suddenly doing things

      You might be surprised what you’ll do when the shit hits the fan. I’ve saved my own life twice, arguably three times. I think most people can summon more courage than they think when confronted with life-or-death decisions.

      It’s just that most have been scared shitless, but not “I’m going to fucking die if I don’t act in the next 3-seconds” kinda scared shitless. Time crawls, our brain starts sorting solutions, picks one, acts.

      This man was extra though. His life wasn’t immediately in danger, he could have frozen or run backwards. But sometimes our monkey brain says, “attack the threat to the tribe” and we just go. He went.

      Imagine carrying that extra confidence for life. Hero indeed.

        I saved a man’s life once (AFAIK, I’m unaware if he actually survived after first responders took over).

        I almost killed myself later that day, overdosing on meds. Not everyone is equipped to deal with that kind of stress.

      Not defending those guys, but it was a clusterfuck of Biblical proportions more than a lack of courage or will. PBS has an awesome documentary on it. I can’t watch it twice.

        Well, certainly not “more than a lack of courage or will”, more like “in addition to a lack of courage or will”. Otherwise someone would have had the courage and the will, regardless of clusterfuck proportion.

        I appreciate a bureaucratic fuck up as much as the next guy, but when the hard math is 300 armed dudes outside and 1 armed dude shooting kids in a school for the entire runtime of Shrek, I have no benefit of the doubt left to give. Maybe if it was a dog with a gun they would’ve shot it 30 seconds after arriving on scene.

    On Sky News (of course), there was a “Member of local Jewish community” who immediately blamed the shooting on Pro-Palestinian rallies. Also espousing “from the river to the sea” is KILL ALL JEWS. Can’t make this shit up

    The architects of AI did not even include those who did the science, right?.. Only those who try to make money based on that…
