Incredible bravery. You hear that if you are in an active shooter situation you have to act immediately. Most people would run for cover. Mr. Shaw headed in the direction of the shooter. This man helped stop more lives from being taken. Including his own. It could have been a very different outcome had he not acted.

The AR 15 has been on the market for over forty years. Why are all these shootings happening now?

IIRC, the patents ran out, and lots of mfgr's started making AR-15's, in many variations, with intense price competition coming into play. This when the gun already fell into a sort of "sweet spot".

Also... I suppose that nutcases are drawn to a weapon the media has demonized...

I like it when a monkey wrench is tossed into the narrative.

This guy says he was not being heroic. He was just trying to save himself.

No doubt true. I like that he resists the deal being offered by the interviewer to cast himself as the hero. The newspaper wants a story that fits the template.

Too bad Kamera Hogg didn’t have the same sort of courage. He could have saved lives too.

But his future career in the media was more important to him.

Some hide in closets.

You have to be at the crime scene to try to stop the shooter. Conveniently, Hogg was not on campus.

“29 years old and going to Frat parties? I hope he is at least a senior”

I wondered about that, too.

And the armed Coward County Sheriff Deputies just stood around outside and did nothing in FL.

I myself am heading for a fraternity party this weekend, and I’m 51.
