Only caught this today. Usually I’m alerted to stories like this here. Anyway, how cool that someone brought him down? |

The worse thing about that shooting is that they had taken his guns away from him. His dad gave them back. |

Wow. Is his dad criminally liable? |

I'm waiting to hear or read something more about why the guns were taken away. If the Secret Service had some involvement ( the security guys in Washington had to arrest him last year at the White House), I think dad is liable. |

No thread because he was a typical terrorist, white male with an AR15. And he only took out black people. |

Everything I read points to mental illness; his father gave him the guns back and may now be in trouble himself.

Even if the father didn't give him the guns back, is there anything to keep him from buying more guns? |

Could he go to a gun show and buy some more guns? Would anyone check? |

HOLY CARP!!!

Just got around to read about the guy, a Mr. James Shaw Jr., who wrestled the shooter's rifle away from the shooter with his bare hands: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/23/us/waffle-house-hero-james-shaw.html That's movie-grade heroics right there. Mr. Shaw burned his hand from grabbing the rifle, and a bullet grazed his elbow. Mr. Shaw has since also helped with fund raising for the victims: https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26/us/waffle-house-james-shaw-gofundme/index.html |

As these incidents become more publicized, the ability to respond appropriately will be, too. Mr Shaw did a reasonable and of course courageous thing. In order to respond in the moment about something, you should at least have a mental model of it. The mass shooters and the media response are giving us all a mental model. The lack of mental models conserves extremists and conservatives alike. The Columbine kids could have killed so many more of their peers than they actually did. But they actually got sick of it, going through and doing it one by one. Eventually they figured the next one should be themselves rather than someone else. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |
