Leftists are now having a meltdown over the news that a good guy with a gun in Indiana managed to quickly stop a mass shooter before he had a chance to kill even more people.
As Townhall reports:
While authorities praised Elisjsha Dicken, the 22-year-old who stopped a mass shooting in Indiana over the weekend, as a “good Samaritan,” gun control advocates are taking issue with that description.
The term, “Good Samaritan” came from a Bible passage of a man from Samaria who stopped on the side of the road to help a man who was injured and ignored.
I cannot believe we live in a world where the term can equally apply to someone *killing* someone… my God. https://t.co/0a3sgzejzD

Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts, in a now-deleted tweet, said the incident was not a “ringing endorsement” for the Second Amendment.
Imagine a hero saving countless lives breaking you mentally
Also, the 22 yo was legally carrying but that just hurts their narrative I guess pic.twitter.com/zVXDF2Oxn7

Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison explained that law enforcement arrived quickly, but the “real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began.”
Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers and a Greenwood Park Mall Representative also expressed gratitude for the “heroic actions of the Good Samaritan.”
In spite of the fact that the mall the shooting took place in was a self-designated ‘gun-free zone’ it, Dicken was carrying legally thanks to the state’s new constitutional carry law.
LISTEN UP…DICKEN is a HERO. I Bet YOU would have been HAPPY if it was YOUR LIFE HE SAVED from the SHOOTER. From SamuraiQueen aka CHIAKIA. 😄😄😄😇😇😇😉😉😉
The democrats doesn’t care about killings. Just their commie agenda
Many off kilter comments here from gun haters who paint everyone with the same brush. Would they have wanted this kid to save the 19 school kids killed in Texas?? Or is their answer still no. The level of righteous stupidity is breath taking. And whats up with the cops who felt a need to cuff this kid at first?? Cops need to ask a few questions before they act. What they did is a very bad look for them. Dont cuff the hero…get it?
Most reputable experts on legal use of force advise defenders to anticipate being detained and handcuffed while arriving law enforcement officers sort out the aftermath of a defensive gun use. Remember, when there is an active killer on the loose, seconds count, and the police are at best minutes away.
Hooray for good guy
Of course the left doesn’t like it. Dicken’s heroic action don’t fit their narrative.
You can’t be progressive unless you are completely insane and filled with rage and envy because of the emptiness of your existence and that hollow void you call a character.
The gun-grabbers are angry that the good guy with a gun decreased the all-important body count, depriving them of an essential weapon in their never-ending campaign to disarm citizens.
The Left is just mad because this hero poked a whole in their narrative. “When a 22 y/o illegally brings a loaded gun into a mall”. When in doubt, just lie about what really happened. They kid saved countless lives and prevented many injuries. How about telling the truth just this once? Do these people really think we’re not paying attention or do they just think we’re that stupid? My guess is both. They are going to learn the hard way that most Americans know exactly what’s going on.
“THIS IS A GUN FREE MALL”
GETTING REAL: ” Felons and other assorted miscreants with guns please comply”;
“Citizens lawfully carrying a firearm NOT WELCOME and will be subject to prosecution.”
