Who the heck was the out of state adult? Has anyone seen a follow up story? Was his name Ray Epps?
He named his son Boom?
Someone threatening the kid who saved people? What kind of person would do that?
Rabid gun ban activist? Muslim jihadist? Gov’t agent to take heat off of Biden? Spouse of targeted teacher willing to kill students?
His gubment handler...
It’s a great story of heroism and getting involved for the right reasons, but I don’t think it was wise for this dad to approve his kid’s name and photo to be broadcast over the news. There are so many twisted people these days, you may find a small group who view Boom and his Dad as ‘Obstructions to what should have been done’.
A neighbor in Portland had a couple visiting from Cambridge, England and they were teachers of some sort. The wife proudly bragged to me that English was the minority language in their city. I looked at her in shock, made a comment or two and got a deer in the headlights look. Standing up for their Engishness obviously never occurred to them.
Not that different from this couple IMO.
“Boom”
That’s a new one.
"The teen's dad says..." - Well, maybe a white kid
"He's a hero for what he did," said Zach Swallen..." - Definitely a white kid
"Swallen says his son, Boom..." - Maybe a black kid
"the would-be shooter was conspiring with an adult who was out of state..." - It was the FBI
