        He has more courage than all of them put together. The cowards are terrified of Trump. We need more people like Mr. Shaw.

        It would be more than appropriate for POTUS to recognise James Saw Jr. for his heroism on behalf of the people of America. A few words would mean so much to everyone but sadly it seems Trump has other priorities.

        This guy was more concerned about the families that lost loved ones or were seriously injured in that horrible attack by setting up Gofundme accounts for them to help out any way he could. I don't think it matters one way or another to him that the President failed to thank him.

        If I know people one of two things will happen. People will push this young man and his notoriety too far and possibly even want him to run for some type of office. Or the downside of Fame we know where that leads. Surround yourself with good people and good things will happen

        Too bad he’s a man of color. In two weeks those red necks in Tennessee will forget who he is and he’ll be back to the racial divide trump manifested

        All these tweets about what Trump has or has not said. Obama often took days to write or speak about incidents like this (including the death of an Ambassador in Benghazi). For now let's applaud the heroism and forget the politics.

        Hey Tennessee lawmakers, you can be heroes too! Pass some gun control legislation so this stops happening! I'm sure Mr. Shaw would really appreciate not having to charge an armed gunman at brunch again.
