I feel like nobody is talking about is how he was more concerned about his shoes and a photo op to look around & see if anyone else was hurt. It didn’t even occur to him to think about anyone besides himself. He wasn’t worried about his audience, his staff, nobody else but himself. Nasty work.

I'm not so sure about your statement. WIth respect. The man was just tackled, knocked out of his shoes, perhaps didn't want to get his feet stepped on by the ss, or simply wanted to be able to run faster, as we all do with our shoes on. Also, I factor in shock. Raising his fist in the air, to me, shows that he was mad as a hornet that this just happened. I may be naive. But i also have no political affiliation.

He didn’t look like he was in much of a hurry and I doubt that his slippery church shoes will give him any traction. If he was in such a hurry, he wouldn’t be saying “wait, wait!” (Who does that at a mass shooting) and he certainly wouldn’t be stopping to pump his fist. Would you? I would be worried about getting shot, number one and then worried about any of my staff or supporters getting hurt. Wouldn’t you? Think about it. He’s not a regular person though. He’s a malignant narcissist and sociopath. He can’t feel concern for anyone but himself. He can barely pretend to do it afterwards! He had to wait to see what the internet was saying before he remembered to call the family and express condolences. Meanwhile, he played golf that same day with not even a band aid on his ear.

Beau, you remind me very much of the old school journalists I worked with back in the 80's when I first graduated from Kent State and went to work at a small daily paper in NC. This was back when Ethics in reporting was a thing, a time when editorial comments went on the editorial page. This was back when journalism was about factual information. It might have only been a small town paper, but we had credibility. We reported what happened, not what we thought might have happened. Often, stories came directly from police reports and city council minutes, and facts were attributed to these sources. All that seems to have gone out the window with the invention of the internet. It's good to know someone is out there willing to say, these are the facts, and this is my opinion, to differentiate between what's known and what's believed. Leeja Miller did a wonderful piece on the average person's ability to decipher information from the internet, 'media literacy." People trust you.

Journalism ended when they stopped reporting news and started reporting perspectives that want to be pushed. My thoughts are that this type of journalism became popular because people became too lazy and insecure/arrogant to think and have dialogue and instead wanted a "popular" opinion to be part of.

Yeah, a lot of those interviews with his "friends" and classmates read like fringe folx wanting a little fame.... I've seen 2 interviews where guys (look like the jocks of the school) are too happy to be in front of the camera to tell everyone how "he was bullied, because you know how kids are these days to a quiet kid like that" (and other sentiment). My kid (who was bullied for being queer and autistic) texted me the links to both with "no way to prove it, but if the shooter was bullied, I bet this kid was part of the bullying. Because mom, he's trying not to laugh, talking about it" Our country has a lot of healing to do....

@@bobbombar6711 I don't think so. This guy was bullied at school, probably because he was the loner who kept to himself. Some teacher made the class stand in separate areas of the room based on political affiliation. That, in and of itself, isn't good practice, as it exacerbates differences between students. In the case of this young man, it most likely led to further intensification of the bullying against him, as he was the only one to stand in the conservative corner. I've heard no details about his relationship with his parents, particularly his father, but I strongly suspect that things were far from ideal there also. His dad being a "gun nut" and strong GOP supporter, probably wanted his son to look and be more "manly". He may have had words with his son, that caused him to go over the edge, took one of his dad's rifles, and decided to go teach his dad a lesson about supporting the ruler of all bullies, instead of supporting his own son. Note: The latter is conjecture on my part. Yet, I would not be surprised if later on, further details may come out, that would support this scenario.
