    it appears that all having a gun only escalated the situation.
    who shots at their wife over an argument?
    wouldn't you expect that same person to shot at a stranger carrying a gun?

    But but but....we must fight gubment tyranny

    Can't fault someone for doing the right thing.

    Yeah, but when you have kids, you have to think about them first. They say he left behind three.

    sad story but his first response should have been to help the wounded woman and not approach the shooter. you are walking up on a man who just let off two shots wounding one person. i really doubt he is gonna just lay down his gun for you. r.i.p. to dude

    never grasped the fascination with guns and the assertion having one can solve all problems.
    the same ones arguing about their right to bear arms are the same ppl shooting themselves in the face taking selfies or getting shot by their kids accidentally

    i know of 2 teenagers who killed themselves with guns in the household. In one case it was an apparent sucide and the other case was asummed to be an accident. I wonder if both of them would be alive if the parents didnt have a gun in the household

    White people took over the entire world by way of the gun

    America was founded in, built on, and sustained through violence/the gun

    As long as this the case, guns will always be relevant

    What article did you guys read? He DID NOT try to help. He tried to stop the guy FROM LEAVING. How is that helping? If anything that's ESCALATING the conflict that just took place.

    Y'all ? have terrible logic.

    Same difference, he should've let dude leave and worry about the girl. Quit trying to be in control of some ? and just do what you can. Dude was going to get caught up with regardless, especially if his girl didn't die, because she was going to tell who shot her.

    You have your own family to protect. Bullets being fired = Me gettin myself and my wife up outta there, especially if the situation has nothing to do with me. Police get paid to intervene in these situations, and are trained to do so.

    Exactly. I plan on getting a gun but I'm not gonna just jump into someone else's situation unless myself or my loved ones life is in danger. ? got a plan when the gun in your hand and got dreams of being the hero. SMH

    Lol he ain't try to help nobody


    callin an ambulance for the lady would've been help, he was tryna play hero & unfortunately it don't always work out


    now I kno it's easy to say "if that was me..."

    & I'm a registered gun owner, stays on my hip whenever I leave the crib


    but I wouldn't intervene in a situation like this where the shooter has a target, if he was jus shooting at random people different story

    but how do you draw down on someone & let them slap the gun out your hand?

    my homie upped the yalk on a ? once, dude reached for the strap & homie shot him

    I say that to say this: if you brandish it be prepared to pull the trigger, cuz everyone ain't gon freeze up at the sight of it

    People who think they can win a gun fight just cause they have a pistol are the same as the dudes who think they can win street fights cause they watch UFC.

    True...dude was trying to play hero instead of doing the most logical thing...I still say it's trying to help though because he was trying to stop the shooter. Clearly he chose a ? method

    It wasn't about the wounded black woman. This stupid white knight muthafucka was a suspected white supremacist who saw an opportunity to ? a black man with impunity. The thing is, he wasn't counting on ole boy bustin' first and endin' his white knight suspected white supremacist ass. To quote Hov, "Respect to the shooter."

    This is why certain people shouldn't have a CCW. Dude popped his girl and tried to flee. Homie who died should have focused on calling the cops and attending to the woman who got shot. Not acting like a hero. He was in no danger from the shooter. The lady who got popped was no longer in danger from the shooter.

    SMH.

    I get it could be seen as tryna help

    but to me it seemed like he was doin it for his ego



    prolly was gettin his gun thinkin what he was gonna say to Fox news, CNN, msnbc, etc. on how he stopped the shooter


    he jus didn't add up all the variables

    This is what pro-gun people wanted, for people with guns to be the police when the police ain't around.

    The irony that is that it happened in Texas.

    I read somewhere that we will never see stricter gun laws until all black men that are old enough apply for a gun license and join the NRA.
