#1 "That's at least a 240 times faster reaction speed than the Uvalde police."

#2 8 shots, mostly centre mass, at 40 yards out, with people fussing and spazzing all around. And in 15 seconds. That is good shooting.

#3 you are asking yourself, was he another known wolf? (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

Notice how the MSM is avoiding calling him a HERO
and providing little if any coverage on his HEROIC actions, because it shows citizens with guns do protect themselves and others.

#5 The left is all about process. It's people on the right who are appalled at the Uvalde popo's non-response to the situation there. The left is happy with the message that a bad guy with a gun will always be allowed to run wild. Their answer for that is "you proles give up your guns."

OTOH, Dicken got results, right quick, with his legally carried (don't give me bushwa about the mall's no guns policy. It didn't stop the shooter) firearm which he used with high proficiency. The process was "see shooter, stop shooter."

Anyone dissatisfied with the results really doesn't care about mass shootings at all. They're blowing smoke.

#6 Oh, and I read a story this morning that Dicken was at the mall "with his girlfriend." I'm sure that alone infuriated a lot of leftists.

#9 The Leftist "Hill" included a blurb, that only 3% of mass shootings in the past 21 years were stopped by a civilian.
Leaving aside the certainty that they cherry picked the data, how many lives did that 3% save? What ever happened to "If it saves only one life....."?
