A strong testimonial in favor of concealed carry, self-defense and situational awareness.
A mass shooter named Douglas Sapirman opened fire at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, shooting three people before he was stopped by a 22-year-old who reacted in seconds after the shooting started.
22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken (pictured left) told his girlfriend to get under a table at the mall food court, then engaged the gunman using his pistol. Dicken fired ten shots, killing the gunman who was armed with a long rifle as he attempted to retreat. Police are hailing young Mr. Dicken as a hero who likely saved the lives of many.
INDIANA – […] Elisjsha Dicken, an armed bystander, fired on Sapirman. Dicken fired 10 rounds hitting Sapirman as Sapirman tried to retreat into the bathroom but collapsed and died.
Dicken had no police training or military background, according to police. He was carrying under the new “Constitutional Carry” law and did not have a permit. Police said Dicken learned to shoot from his grandfather and that he had no military or police training.
“His actions were nothing short of heroic. He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun. Was very proficient in that, was tactically sound and as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him,” Ison said about Dicken’s actions. “Many people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly within the first two minutes of this shooting.”
Dicken has not yet spoken with the media about the shooting. However, his lawyer Guy A. Relford released a statement on Monday that said Dicken is waiting to speak about the shooting to respect the lives lost and the police’s investigation.
The full statement can be read here:
“I am proud to serve as Eli Dicken’s attorney and spokesperson. He is a true American hero who saved countless lives during a horrific event that could have been so much worse if not for Eli’s courage, preparedness and willingness to protect others. Because we want to respect the ongoing criminal investigation by the Greenwood Police Department and take time to honor the three innocent lives lost, we won’t be making any substantive comments on Sunday’s events until after the authorities’ investigation is closed. In the interim, we ask that you respect the privacy of Eli and his family.” (read more)
A brave young man. Well done Mr. Dicken. Well done.
Police Press Conference:
THANK YOU …. SIR !!!!!!
Strong men will fight and defend others. Weaker men hire that fighting out to strong men, and later become subjugated to those stronger men.
I am grateful for men such as Mr. Dickens. I wish him well and a long life.
Well done, sir.
Wow, just Wow!
The Spirit, Courage, Selflessness, and Bravery we should celebrate. May God bless Mr. Dickens and his Grandfather.
He is a hero!
Now “they” will set out to ruin his life.
If they want him ….. they gotta come over us , first !
Lawyered up, pro bono. We need to gift him a monetary reward, and a lifetime supply of ammo. We are going to need him.
In 2021 Ted Nugent wanted to give Kyle Rittenhouse a lifetime supply of ammunition.

(((they))) are going to sue him to kingdom come now. Evidently the mall had a ‘no firearms’ sign posted.
Merrick Garland is going to throw away the key on this kid….but first they’ll send the FBI swat team to drag him out of the house with the camera’s rolling
The mall owners , and every store within , will get ZERO customers if they attack this hero.
…and they be burned by their “preferred” antifa/BLM type customers
I’m not sure how the ‘No Firearms’ stacks up against ‘Constitutional Carry’. I’m sure it will be in the courts a long time.
Not sure about Indiana but in constitutional carry Georgia those signs do not have the force of law one iota. If you’re carrying and are asked to leave the premises then you can be trespassed if you don’t depart, but that is the extent of it down here in Rino Kempville, home of the 2020 steal especial.
Surprisingly, here in CA those signs don’t carry force of law either. Thank goodness for that.
Normal people will be able to see even more clearly what asinine lunatics these gun control freaks are if they go after this young man. What can the Left spin here? We know the Democrat Crime Syndicate would have preferred more people to be killed by the mass shooter, as that could be used to advance the OBrandon plan to disarm Americans, and they don’t like it when citizens can take care of business that paid-off law enforcement cowards won’t do. More than likely they will bury the story as quickly as they can.
It seems the mass shooter did not respect the “No Firearms” sign either. However, since the Supreme Court has ruled on the right to conceal and carry, it would seem the sign is moot.
THIS^^^^
(we should be prepared or at least be thinking how this american will need financial support either way for the incoming legal shitholes who will attempt to make something of it. this we know. Looking for the givesendgo any moment. just preparing for the eventuality)
God Bless America
Those stupid little signs don’t mean bunk. In FL, there are 6-7 places you cannot go with a firearm, cc permit or not. Courthouses, police stations, sporting events, bar only, etc. Restaurants, shops, etc, can post all the signs they want, we walk right past them, point and giggle a little.
“This is a gun free zone”
Not if I’m in there….
Haha!
same here…but we take it just a little bit further in my neck of the woods.
we ONLY do business with those that support OPENLY the right to pack heat.
eff walmart, sam’s club, target and other weak kneed yellow shops.
I am ALL COUNTRY BROTHER.
we put our money where our mouth is.
every single time.
it makes a difference.
we have exited the off ramp from madness long ago.
Just yesterday, at a local feed store, I counted no less than 5 more rows of food and supplies AND freezers and fridges of good quality food and other standard essentials. Almost all local sourced.
at some point communities are going to have to being making serious choices and support businesses that are aligned with values that are normal and smart.
this whole big box store addiction is by far one of the biggest obstacles that americans just can’t seem to fully understand is at the root of many of the problems we face.
trade your money with people and businesses that are invested in your same interests.
it is one of the most powerful things people can do.
This post reminds me a bit of NY’s unelected Guv MH and all of her new ridiculous rules.
This is the precise spot(Justice Kavanaugh’s separate concurrence) the Left has identified as how they will be able to widely restrict gun possession in spite of the recent ruling. They claim that “sensitive places” means anything they want it to mean:
“Kavanaugh cited the Supreme Court’s 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, which held the Constitution protects an individual right to possess a firearm in the home for self-defense, for the idea that “properly interpreted, the Second Amendment allows a ‘variety’ of gun regulations.”
He then quoted Heller author, the late Justice Antonin Scalia, saying “nothing in the opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places.”
Legal scholars say Kavanaugh’s opinion reads as a reassurance that some gun laws will stand after the court in its majority ruling said for the first time the Second Amendment protects gun rights outside the home.”
I read somewhere that CA is already compiling a “sensitive places” list.
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/kavanaugh-gun-case-opinion-could-help-uphold-future-regulations
Thomas’s Opinion of the Court is the law, not Kavanaugh’s concurrence. It makes no difference what he said about Scalia’s Heller opinion. Only Roberts signed on to Kavanaugh’s concurrence. Although I have no doubt you are right that the communists will weasel out anything they can, these words from Thomas’s opinion are the law of the land:
“The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees. We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.”
God bless our brilliant Clarence Thomas. Long may he live!
I believe but am not sure SCOTUS’ decision said if there’s a “no guns” sign it has to be honored. In normal times no jury would convict this kid. These aren’t normal times and libtards are dangerously delusional when it comes to their hatred of guns and gun rights.
They don’t hate them (guns), they just hate us with them. They want us “unarmed”, one of their favorite words, and helpless against their tyranny.
N O P E
The mall has publicly thanked him. Right away, even.
Their no-weapons policy has no weight under Indiana law; the most Eli could suffer would be a trespassing charge. If he is at risk at all, it would have to be from a civil suit filed by the shooter’s family, or by a third party claiming a right to sue on behalf of victims who are somehow emotionally scarred by the presence of a second gun.
Wont be at all surprised if the regime’s DOJ arrests him for “civil rights violations”. If the perp was black, Dicken would already be in Federal custody.
Both the murderer Jonathan Sapirman, and the hero Elisjsha Dicken, were/are white. ( https://www.ibtimes.sg/who-jonathan-sapirman-greenwood-park-mall-gunman-waited-bathroom-hour-before-shooting-was-65858 )
But notice the names of the victims who were killed: “Tragically, three were murdered: Victor Gomez, 30; and couple Rosa Rivera de Pineda, 37, and Pedro Pineda, 56.” ( https://redstate.com/alexparker/2022/07/18/why-we-cant-have-nice-things-good-samaritan-who-saved-indiana-mall-goers-is-denounced-as-no-hero-n597392 )
I wonder if Sapirman was targeting Hispanics. If so, then Dicken probably saved the lives of more Hispanics. That’s something to remember if/when someone brings up some accusation regarding race.
I wondered about the victims, too — the first thing you notice is that the 3 fatalities are hispanic. But, when looking at the timeline, it’s a good guess that they were just the first three most-convenient targets. Shooter spent an hour in the bathroom (presumably either struggling to assemble his rifles or mustering up the courage to begin his rampage), and then immediately upon leaving the bathroom, encountered a man walking into the bathroom — so here he’s walking out of the bathroom with a rifle and facing a man walking toward him; he probably never even found out that that first victim was himself carrying concealed. The other two he shot were at the first table he saw when walking out of the bathroom ‘hallway’. And less than 15 seconds after the first bullet fired from the rifle, our defending shooter was advancing on the attacker on the ground as he was trying to retreat into the bathroom. Fifteen seconds from the first shot with the rifle, to the last round fired at him from Eli’s pistol — there doesn’t appear to be a lot of time in there to think about who he was targeting.
Sadly, young lady, it is likely you are correct…
If ‘they’ were in the gunman’s line of fire, and ‘they’ knew someone was in the immediate vicinity who could prevent ‘them’ from experiencing ‘their’ last (horrific) moments on the planet, would ‘they’ still be anti-2A? If so, ‘they’re’ either a fool and/or a liar.
I’m sure that the main stream media is done with this story…
What story?
The left will dox him in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….
No one will even hear of this shooting now. Failed op.
Yeah, I imagine there are some very unhappy campers over the outcome.
They will have to repossess the new F150 pickup and Daniels Defense AR-15 they gifted the shooter first.
no pretending here!
Hero! Plain and simple, a hero!
“Dicken had no police training or military background, according to police.”
Unless one is in the Marines or Army Infantry, a member of the military does not get a whole lot of small arms training, especially with pistols.
Plenty of training in Wokeness, CRT and LGBTQLMNOPXYZ, however.
I hope that isn’t the case. I was on the range twice a year. Failure to achieve marksman meant not boarding team qualified.
That was my career requirement…one of many.
Yep….45,M16 and shotgun.
That also included picking up ships payroll from the federal reserve in Boston
If I were this young man, I wouldn’t talk to the media at all. The MSM is just itching to sink their claws into him and turn him into a villain or dig up something about him to discredit his act of bravery.
To his credit, he (or his parents) knew enough to engage an attorney before saying anything. I’m sure they are all fully aware of the ugly communist element that exists in our society, and their tactics. Even so, all should be prepared to come to his aid if needed.
And his Lawyers statement is pure class. I suggest the ghouls who will want to come after this young man and pull some kind of Kyle Rittenhouse job on him … best think twice about it.
R Iacoveo, yes, you are right. I would donate to his defense fund like I donated to the Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund.
Do malls have indoor cameras? If so, they might have all of this on video. Just a thought.
Yes, the video talks about it.
Agreed,
From that insufferable twat Shannon Watts from Moms Demand Action.
If you think I exaggerate, here is Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, noting that, “when a 22-year-old illegally brings a loaded gun into a mall and kills a mass shooter armed with an AR-15 after he already killed three people and wounded others is not a ringing endorsement of our implementation of the Second Amendment.”
https://thefederalist.com/2022/07/18/why-anti-gun-zealots-cant-admit-concealed-carry-saves-lives/
Thank You, Eli.
Everyone at the mall that day- and people all over Indiana and the whole country – are thanking you.
That young man is my hero!
I must say the cops are pathetic, their system is pathetic. By the time they setup 20/30 dead. It is now up to us to protect ourselves and others.
Loren, agree with you 100%. Why? I am a former Coast Guardsman.
As the first responders of the sea, not only do we get military training- we also get bigtime paramedic, firefighter and law enforcement training.
Which led to me helping save about 1,000 people during my 20 year Coast Guard career (that is an estimate, when you do what is right for you, you do not count ‘numbers’. You just do what you know is right).
For example, what happened in Uvalde with the cops really pissed me off. They know what is the right thing to do (to save innocent lives even if you have to risk your own life to do it. Do not wait for ‘permission’). GUTLESS MAGGOTS. I would not have hesitated to risk my own life to save kids. I would not have waited for ‘permission’ to do the right thing. Within seconds of arriving at Uvalde I would have gone in and taken the shooter down, even if I had lost my own life in the process. God (who I met in person on June 16, 2016) would have agreed with it, and blessed my soul.
The second amendment, we must push for it. What most people do not know… in the ‘Wild West’, when a lot of people carried guns, the murder rate was a lot lower than in ‘modern’ cities. Why? Potential murderers knew that if they opened fire on innocent people, they would probably get hit by a hurricane of bullets. So most of them did not do it.
Elisjsha Dicken is a true hero. He risked his life to save innocent people. I will back him up as much as I can. If the demonrats go after him, I will contribute as much as I can to his defense fund. And more.
6/16/2016 – God was busy that day. I am happy you “met” Him. My father who still does not trust Jesus (please pray for his precious soul) was mercifully spared death & had an emergency quadruple bypass that same day . His father (who was born in 1899 & also put salvation off to the last minute) was a champion competitive marksman and gunsmith. He had a sign in his Texas gun machine shop that said “The West wasn’t won with a registered gun.”
Coffeyville Kansas 1892.The Dalton gang found out the hard way, about armed civilians.
Yes, it is the Wild Wild West once again.
FBI must be utterly seething tonight that one of their windup toys got stopped short
Back to kindergartens and elementary schools for the alphabet boys
This 22 year old is a MAN. He is not what is typically turned out in our society today. He is truly a hero, not a make-believe one like we are lead to think of by today’s soybois. He saved his girlfriend and others as he advanced towards the danger. Uvalde police could take instruction from him.
True American hero. There is hope in our youth. Oh yes, I see glimmers of hope.
Protect your lady. Field of fire. Advance. Guide the innocent. At age 22. Well done, sir!
Why do I have this awful feeling that someone in the MSM is going to dig into this kid’s past and then Dox him. I hope I’m wrong
The mall south of Nashville also has no guns allowed signs at the main entrances.
The store entrances from parking lot do not. I enter from Penney’s or Macys, no sign, also no sign from either store to main mall.
What sign?
I love how the cop starts off patting all the LEO agencies on the back for THEIR response! LOL What a joke.
Yeah, I was like — the cop’s face is bright red too. Maybe his normal color, but I thought it was more embarrassment at saying the BS he was saying, while that incompetent group of fat guys was shown up by a 22-year-old hero.
He was exactly why I couldn’t watch more than a couple of minutes.
I live across the street from the Greenwood Park Mall. True enough, we don’t have enough cops. But those who work in the ‘donut counties’ here (no pun intended… meaning those that surround the city of Indianapolis) are pretty well-tooled. They generally are veteran-bred, career public servants who don’t fit the mold of the ‘dumb cop’ at all. I will not expect the LEOs we have here to pull a Uvalde-style keystone cop routine. Part of that is that the various agencies here communicate well, and vigorously train to refine inter-agency cooperation (I often listen to them interacting on the frequencies I have access to).
Bless you, Mr. Dicken.
A young man who demonstrated more physical and moral courage than four hundred Texas law enforcement officers.
Amen
300 – to – 400 cops outside Uvalde Texas school …….. no guts at all.
One good man , shut this bad guy down. Because he was — ‘ Willing To Engage ‘
And who is Douglas Sapirman?
https://mixedarticle.com/who-is-jonathan-douglas-sapirman-greenwood-park-mall-shooter-identified
Sapirman suffered a traumatic childhood and went through the foster care system in his early teens. At age 16, a petition for his guardianship reached the court, and during his high school days at Greenwood High School, he got a juvenile record for a school fight.
His family mentioned that he had been practicing shooting at a range after quitting his job at a factory. The 20-year-old calculated and planned for his attack before going to a mall all prepared.
Sounds like the regular MO.
I’m not excusing it, but God knows what happened to him to end up in foster care and then what they did to him in the foster care system.
These kids make excellent recruits for FIB friends in chat rooms.
Prime candidate.
I am starting to wonder if the FIB just wait for these creeps to come to a chat room, or if they have an outreach program.
All of these creeps are in the system.
What won’t the IC spy on? They spy on Congressmen even Presidents. They spy on innocent citizens. Why wouldn’t they be spying on State Governments? Local Governments?
They break all sorts of laws and cover them up. Most of the redactions we’ve seen have basically been protections of the source, the FBI, and its methods, breaking the law.
If you want an army of warped, disturbed mass murders, you know where to go to find them. They’re in the system and not getting helped.
I know of juvenile delinquents who ended up in foster care because they lied about their parents being abusive and neglectful when nothing could be further from the truth. They dragged their loving parents through the mud, slop and unlawful CPS court system to help the state steal their children, all so they could continue being delinquents.
Some do it to themselves, and forever blame everyone else.
A member of the tribe of Soros(Schwartz)/Schwab/Schumer/Nadler/Garland/Levine.
Woody Allen beat you up AGAIN and steal your lunch money?
Since I was a child it seems. A historic check showed the ancestors have been at this racket a few thousand years minimum.
Naw, I want THEM to own HIM like the blacks own their criminals and why not after all he IS one of THEIRS, they would do the same to us if he was of MAGA Nation. Now we wait for Feinstein to appear with a bar mitzvah photo and tell us the mall shooter was on-track to be a doctor, lawyer, dentist, or Pervywood producer.
well, looks like he died going to the bathroom.
When he didn’t make it to the stall he “Mike Browned” himself right there on the food court floor which will now have to be sanitized/disinfected.
The shooter
this is the place that raised a small fortune for a sick golden retriever in 12 hours.
this is the media now.
link this story and pass it on to a sad old face.
keep doing it. it works.
(hand model – Andre The Giant)
Did everything right, then lawyered up.
Excellent young man.
Kudos to his Grandfather.
Hero!
Aka, seconds count when to takes hours to respond…………wonder how long it took the cops to get there.
Apparently there was “Mall Security”. I think we all know those types.
400 LEO could not take down an active shooter in a school, and one young man bravely stops an active shooter by himself in a mall. And I bet he didn’t use any hand sanitizer. Quite something.
So annoying how every Tom, Dick, and Harry Agency has to get a kudo. The kid did all the work, he IS the KUDO.
You just flippantly cited 400 LEO … but I was truly SHOCKED to read there were something on the order of 364 LEO’s literally doing NOTHING (concrete) to stop the slaughter of children. And let me add … are there no PHYSICAL FITNESS requirements for LEO’s anymore? They must eat gobs and gobs of churro-flavored donuts. Yeah … “systemic” … FAIL. Your tax dollar at FAIL.
Yeah, a bunch of overweight, out of shape slackers, apparently, is part of the hiring process now.
Only in Tejas LE…
Just happens that bill HR-1808 , another gun ban bill is to be marked up by house judiciary committee this week on Wednesday ………..
( well , you know what they say about coincidencies , RIGHT ??? …… It can’t happen here ! )
It’s also pretty obvious he had a strong belief in and love of the Good Lord.
“Sapirman” eh? This shooting will be memory-holed and quick
Lot of young killers these days.
Too much money and no morals.
The average age of a combat soldier in Viet – Nam was 19.
That’s all I have to say about that.
Bravo to your comment!
However … today … the average 19yo has already slaughtered ten thousand imaginary video game enemies …
Jonathan Douglas Sapirman. I’m not seeing any indication that he went by his middle name. Not that it really matters. Good riddance.
I think they add the middle name so the shooter isn’t confused with anyone else with the same name.
But Sundance identifies him only as Douglas Sapirman, leaving out his first name altogether. No other news source does so.
The Good Guys are out there…!
Thank you for your bravery, Mr. Dicken
A true Gem of a man!
I think of Uvalde, and I’m sickened; a queasy feeling in my gut.
Re: Uvalde … I still … haven’t heard a single word about WHY no Police Officer took up position on the WINDOW SIDE of the classroom and got eyes … if not scope … on the scumbag gunman? I’ve not heard a single word.
so maybe it was just another training exercise
and yet the Commies are pissed the gentleman had a weapon in a gun free zone.
Not a hero….just a citizen employing a natural right, removing the town of a murderer.
So irritating, I can’t hear the policeman. I checked that I can hear Rumble channel and I can hear other things, but not this. Can someone tell me what might I be doing wrong? Or is it something with YouTube?
Belle, options to try… make sure volume setting is turned up on your machine and on the YouTube video itself. Basically the speaker icon just to the right of the play button on far left bottom of video image. If that doesn’t help, trying clicking on the YouTube logo on far right bottom of the video image which will take you directly to YouTube. If that doesn’t work, maybe click the CC (closed caption button) and read along. Good luck.
Volume up on my computer and on video. Went to try at YouTube. No sound. No CC for this. Cleared cache and restarted computer in case that might turn something on that isn’t. Still no sound. But Rumble has sound, so it must be some connection to YouTube.
Kinda like the old times back in the early days of the Republic. Where good guys with guns were the first line of defense against criminals.
Or even 50-60 years ago.
I was always taught you are the first line of defense. Nothing in my experiences during my 7+ decades of life has changed my belief in that notion.
“Come on, man! It’s not like he deserves any praise, let alone a Presidential Medal of Freedom like the heroic America-hating Megan Rappin’hoe.”
Sad state of affairs when that is true, but here we are.
Is there an fbi file about this gunmen
In contrast to Texas Law Enforcement:
Activist Shannon Watts said, “Nearly 400 “good guys” responded to the Uvalde shooting: 5 school officers, 25 Uvalde officers, 16 sheriff’s deputies, neighboring law enforcement, 149 Border Patrol officers, 91 state police officers, 13 US Marshals and 8 federal DEA officers. They couldn’t stop one bad guy.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/07/damning-report-uvalde-school-massacre-nearly-400-good-guys-couldnt-stop-one-bad-guy/
Demonrats are quiet? No opportunity on grand standing for gun control.
Hah! Farrrrrrrrrrr worse than that. It is object lesson #1 for WHY every GOOD GUY in America should be able to conceal carry anytime and anywhere they go.
Not the gun control that Elisjsha Dicken exercised, a tight grouping center mass. May not have been center mass, but he did the job.
Something that the gun grabbers really DON’T WANT TO talk about.
God BLESS Mr. Dickens! Would that more of Americas heroes could likewise step up…
Wish his identity and picture hadn’t been published. Afraid the communist Aholes will try to make his life miserable. Our own government may harass him. Hope not.
It seems this young man is strong enough in character to take whatever life dishes out. And then some.
I previously posted this today but in case anyone missed it
There are thousands of these heroes who walk amongst us and are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to save someone they don’t even know
There are no words
God Bless them all
“a 25 yo pizza delivery man runs into burning house, saves four children who tell him another might be in the house. He goes back in, finds the girl, jumps out a window with her, and carries her to a cop who captures the moment on his bodycam”
I highly encourage EVERYONE to get some basic free FIRST AID training , at your local fire , ambulance , police station.
I was trained as a scuba diver , first aid was a big part of that certification. Never had had a SCUBA offshore emergency, but those trainings helped me deal with MANY car accidents victims and other emergencies.
I rolled up on accidents where GOOD PEOPLE were standing around , they wanted to help , but they had no idea what to do first ……. so …. they …froze !
A . B. C . —- Airway — Breathing — Circulation …….. go from there …. ( Get Basic First Aid Trained )
Be a mock victim for the boy + girl scout merit badges , let them put katsup and fake bandages on you for training , it pays off as everybody learns.
This brought tears to my eyes. A true hero risking life and limb to save another.
Forgive my cynicism … but I actually believed that America had utterly LOST our heartland to criminals, slackers, and weirdos. I thought OHIO, Indiana et. al. had been LOST. I’ve read stories about rampant crime, meth, and fentanyl in places like Gary, Indiana. Places that SOUND as they should be be the last stronghold of Authentic Americanism … but were lost.
i hope the stories of these heroes prove my cynicism wrong.
Gary, IN has been lost for many years. Indiana as a state is generally a good Midwestern state with good people.
In the video it looks like the building was fully engulfed not just burning.
“….. is waiting to speak about the shooting to respect the lives lost and the police’s investigation.”

Another sure-fire way to know he is not in the media.
Great, I’d be very proud of his mature action and acting responsibly if he were my son.
The Left is trying to scorch him.
Such a tragedy 3 died, but could have been dozens or more. Funny how when just one armed good citizen stands against such a terrorist, the evil doer shows how cowardly he is by running away.
The hero chased the shooter into the bathroom. GOD BLESS Eli. GOD BLESS HIM!!!!!!
doubtless there’ll be a controversy raised about which bathroom
Many such case where when met with ANY minimal pushback , the mental shooters fold up fast.
Many cases , citizens shoot back , they give up……. or off themselves
Thankfully for him this happened in a red state. The driveby media won’t touch this because it doesn’t support their gun grabbing agenda.
They just haven’t figured out their narrative yet. There will be one, count on it. Just give it a day or so.
