[@inthelandofmorethansmall7582]

@@unofficialbeautyqueen6624 I absolutely do not disagree. But the Father was probably duped. My ex Father In Law and Mom In Law couldnt have kids... they adopted. These are 2 of the best people youll ever meet. She was a kindergarten teacher for 30+ years, he was a basketball coach AND vice principal and principal and middle school science teacher and they both farmed.... The man, we'll call him F and we will call the woman S.... F&S began dating in 4th grade. Never broke up. Got married, an unbelievably good looking couple... but like I said, S couldnt havekids. So they adopted. They raised this boy, we will call him A, better than anyone ever could raise their child. They were older so they were extraordinarily patient and old school and consistent, etc, etc... A caused Alot of trouble. They tried to help him, when theh saw that didnt work, once he was 18, they put him out to live on his own. (Of course they did that knowing he had somewhere to go... His Dads Mothers house next door was empty and he had been planning to move there anyway) My point is, this A was SO MANIPULATIVE and would throw such tantrums that the parents wanted to believe him any time A seemed reasonable. I'm justsaying, I'm sure the Father in this case never imagined his son would do anything like that. And in many ways, when you have children like that, you learn to pick your fights. So this father probably just truly believed his son was doing better, didnt want to push him off his course to doing great and he feared it would have definitely caused an immediate set back. I know voodoo people like this with sons or daughters from Hell. And when you've been tormented their entire life, sometimes you do give in bc the optimism you feel in that moment is so overwhelming.

[@inthelandofmorethansmall7582]

A stabbed people, robbed people, did drugs, trashed his.parents and grandparents house, abused me when I was pregnant with our baby... When they saw even the smallest amount of change it was so encouraging and - when you have kids like this (bc our son turned out to be the same) - you dont want anything to stop the flow of momentum towards positivity. So if they have a job, stop doing drugs, stay out of trouble for a while, then they ask for something like their guns back or money or whatever, you want to believe - so badly - that they are finally on the right path!!! I'm not saying it's right. But I think this man has been through enough. He shouldn't be punished for giving his grown son the guns that BELONGED to his grown son. That's all...

[@matthewnewton8812]

His daughter is like the cutest most adorable girl in the whole world, yes? The way she laid her head on papa’s shoulder while he was talking to the press is just the sweetest little thing I’ve ever seen in my life. She should be so proud of papa, and she has an incredible role model to look up to. Just the way he is a good man, I know she will grow up to be a good girl and then a good woman, because the same strength and compassion that man has inside of him, she also has inside of her. She must have been so scared when papa got hurt that she wasn’t gonna see him again. What a brave little darling. She deserves a big big hug and kisses and neck scratchies. That’s what I give to my little cousins. Big hugs and neck scratchies. They love that. And he’s a handsome fella too! I mean, come on- save some talent and find qualities for the rest of us, gosh! The world needs more people like them. Such fine and brave and good people. It would be an honor to know and associate with this warm loving family. Lucky to anybody fortunate enough to be friends with these wonderful people. I am sending them all my love. Thank you to this beautiful family.

I responded on this thread 3 years ago...There are so many racist trump supporters it is staggering....trump, the racist 5 x draft dodging grifter who lead the Jan 6, 2021 Insurrection AGAINST our Democracy also spewed Racist tropes that Latinx were Invading our borders for MONTHS prior to the 2018 Midterm elections...a white supremacist trump supporter drove 100+ miles to El Paso , Tx and murdered nearly 30 Latinx and others shopping at Walmart; a white supremacist trump supporter , young Dylan Roof, only 22 years old , at the height of trump's 2015 campaign, went into a Baptist Church in South Carolina and murdered 9 productive African Americans who INVITED Dylan Roof in to pray with them [Roof said he left a woman alive to tell people about the race war that was to follow]....In Pennsylvania, a white supremacist trump supporter went into a Synagogue and murdered 7 Jewish attendees as they were praying; On the other side of the world in New Zealand, an Australian white supremacist [ who threw up the white power hand signal after appearing in court after his arrest ]....the Australian white supremacist murdered 52 Muslims as they prayed in 3 different Mosques where he did his Mass Shootings...INCREDIBLY, ALL of these aforementioned white supremacist-trump supporters, had written manifestos [Found AFTER their peaceful arrests...Sherriff and Police even took Dylan Roof to Burger King before he was arrested! Google this sh*t] PRAISING trump and saying they were going to help him with their Mass Shootings of Jews , Black and Brown people. Why has NO ONE held trump accountable for these Mass Shootings by his white supremacist supporters or why is trump's role in the January 6, 2021 Insurrection being IGNORED by DOJ? Atty General Merrick Garland is a disappointment...The January 6 Insurrection was Planned and facilitated by republiKKKans still serving in our congress [ spreading the BIG LIE, VOTING AGAINST a Jan 6 Commission to INVESTIGATE, and giving tours of the Capitol BEFORE their TREASONOUS Insurrection were republiKKKans hawley, ted cruz, ron johnson, andrew clyde, boebert, gosar, jim jordan, matt gaetz, marjorie taylor green etc...] Here is my {Much Shorter} ORIGINAL post 3 years ago when I saw how Hero Jams Shaw, Jr. SAVED LIVES, I wrote: "Not a word of condolences for the victims from the racist draft dodger in our Whitehouse. Why? Is it because the victims are people of color, and James Shaw, a college educated African American, who works for AT&T, is a father and goes to church right afterwards, and STOPPED the shooter who is a white trump supporter".

I’m so sorry for the loss of these young people and so thankful for this young man who fought and protected those who survived! GOD bless them all! Praying for those that died and for their families!

[@shellyperez6707]

I really look up to this guy and I know he is very humble but to me he is a true hero! 👍❤️

[@mohammedbedsapour7503]

He is hero. Very, very good man. Very brave. Thank you Mr for saving the others.

[@boldandbodyfull7407]

He was armed upon his capture, an none of the officers felt their life was in danger? Yeah, okay.

[@michaeljohnnyringo3907]

JustcallmeJJ trust me, I'm in law enforcement, I would have shot him. That comment is just racist

[@azubi5510]

JustcallmeJJ Correct me if i’m wrong but I thought this video said the gun was inside of a backpack when they detained him? If that’s the case they didn’t see a weapon therefor no they didn’t feel threatened. Also they stated he proned immediately when approached and requested. 4:15

[@Facts-Over-Feelings]

@Cole Pratt ALL.. OK.. SAYS IT ALL

[@ImehSmith]

@Cole Pratt First off, I know not all cops are bad or racist and I'm thankful for them. 2ndly, they need to sue the fuck out of his shitty ass, completely irresponsible dad/parents and leave him with NOTHING and arrest him if poss as well But lastly, you are totally wrong or your bs. It is beyond obvious that many blacks stopped for non violent infractions like a traffic stop, with no weapons and hands visible get shot all the time. And I'm not even wasting my time trying to defend some juvenile thug who isn’t complying…that’s their own fault. I am only talking about the innocent ones lying in the street trying to calm an autistic patient or show his registration and still get shot. And these psycho lunatic mass murders are NOT even shot down like they ought to be, even after they gun down a school yard, office bldg., etc. It’s some stupid, ignorant bs.!!

[@bonwoodard9479]

Pretty sure they said he complied immediately AND he wasn't reaching for anything.. weapons were in a backpack!! So as long as people keep ignoring orders and/or acting sketchy reaching for somethin.. they gonna get shot.. quit pullin race card damn, shit happens to everyone. Its just not as noticed or made a big deal if its a white on white..

[@mr.notsocreative]

Is the dad getting charged? Why would he give the guns back to him? He clearly has a problem

[@s.e.u.ellethi9388]

Still think about this amazing story after all these years, you are a hero James!🙏🏽🤝🏽

[@twokidsmom5309]

The killer's father is to blame as well. What an amazing young man who came to the aid of others no matter why. You did what no one else did. God bless you for stopping him

[@ImehSmith]

EXACTLY on BOTH counts They need to sue the fuck out of his shitty ass, completely irresponsible dad/parents and leave him with NOTHING and arrest him if poss as well

[@ABIXWEEZY]

Still driving past that waffle house makes me sad. During that time school was canceled. and everyone had to stay at home until he was finally caught. A student from my school was related to him and I felt bad for everyone who was effected in that shooting.

[@jayquelinn]

What an awesome young man!! Heartbroken about the young lives lost.

[@brianberthiaume7930]

He is the definition of a selfless hero , God bless this young man , and everyone should take notice

[@TheOnlyKosis]

This is a hero. Someone willing to risk their life to save others without hesitation.

He is soooo brave honestly he did something not a lot of people could do. He is a hero

[@captainkeyboard1007]

James Shaw, Jr. was a gentleman and a lifesaver. I hope will receive a special blessing and return to good health.

[@robertdonald4409]

James Shaw Jr. Should be given the highest medal issued to civilians , for his unselfish act of bravery. 🎖🎖 because of his actions countless lives were saved . GOD BLESS HIM and his Family.

[@muezzathestray750]

I've seen a dozen of kids shot dead/ chased into large bodies of water, killed during the chase, for stealing cars. This man walked away after a police chase with already seized weapons and was able to kill several people and then go home, change, get another weapon and hang out behind his home before being caught. makes sense.

[@danferguson71]

I see your irony, you can cut it with a knife. Nuance and ideology and trust makes an easy call difficult. If those whites screamed racist every time a black man shot or raped a person, your culture would have to answer for your violence and crap culture.
