Get help if you know someone is threatening to harm someone or a group of people. Get help if you know someone is being harmed in any way. As far as the Second Amendment, man written words on a piece of manmade paper are more precious then humans then that piece of paper needs to be destroyed for every because it very foundation is flawed and set to destroy the hands that uphold it! Although I would prefer no guns and weapons exist I know that won’t change. However, common since nationwide laws on the purchasing and owning guns can be made.

This makes me so sad. Good luck Barrett. You are beautiful.

[@Ava-km7tl]

Glad this man pulled through. It is also refreshing to see that there’s no people saying “W shooter” or “hes faking it”

[@thumpr1]

A strong and speedy recovery for you Barrett... Those of us in the LGBTQ community are with you, even if from afar!!!! Stay strong!!!!

Lesson learned: Don't go to gay clubs. Don't lead a gay lifestyle.

Gotta watch those violent trans/non binary folk

[@austindixon8600]

@Real Aiglon I am a senior who was brought up respecting every single human beings and animals in the world. I teach the same to my grandchildren. So you are wrong. This is not about me. I feel for the other. Education it's important. Read History and years 1930/45 and you will see the errors and mistakes done and learn not to repeat them

[@MLM68]

@Real Aiglon I hope you find some love soon

[@MLM68]

@Real Aiglon You seem in real pain. I wish you the best.

[@scottjeune154]

@Real Aiglon your comment is a way to make this tragedy about yourself. You don't need to.

[@allieelectra23]

There’s no hate like conservative Republican Christian hate!

[@joaquin4028]

Ok GROOMER. The Florida Pulse nightclub shooter, Omar Mateen, was a self hating Muslim alphabet person. I've seen that creepy bobby crimo in a dress and wig dancing around and I have never seen a Trump supporter who looked like that. Joe Biden tried to tell a black man that he ain't black because he needed the votes too. I didn't elect Donald Trump and I'm not a Republican I voted third party so what do I know about Trump supporters anymore than what racist Joe Biden knows about being black? How do you know that Bobby Crimo is a Trump supporter anymore than wearing a dress and a wig make him a woman?

The shooter was LGBTQ. So there is that hate, Dufus.

[@jlf115]

shame on cnn for interviewing such a vulnerable person

[@atarahsvoice5268]

These shootings & murders less than a month & days apart is absolutely sickening.

[@pauljean8069]

Glad he is ok. We need people to stop the hate. Stop the hate.

[@missf4681]

May God bless and keep this man.. I'm sorry about what happened to you..

[@ChanceColeman]

The worst thing that can happen to your child at a drag show is getting shot by a christian

[@elainemarks7845]

Your a walking miracle. You’ve got more to do! Heal up good and make it count. Bless you. 🙏

[@asdyle]

Wouldn't it have been a miracle if he was never shot?? Isn't god responsible for this tragedy if he's responsible for his survival?

[@m.w.njoroge7438]

I don't know how you watch this and not shed any tears.💔 I'm so grateful that this innocent, beautiful soul made it out of this tragedy alive!🙏🏽🌻💕
