    James Shaw Jr., who wrested the gun away from the Waffle House shooter, visited 2 women who survived the shooting in the hospital. "I’m glad that they’re still alive," he said, "but what I really want to see is when they’re back on their feet."https://nyti.ms/2qVTmy6

        This man is a true role-model for young people who are faced with hatred, bigotry, dishonesty & fear in their daily lives. Thank you James Shaw Jr. & the individuals who raised you. If only we could have hundreds more of you! #WaffleHouseShooter

        Strange days: A reluctant hero at the Waffle House and an unrepentant self-promoter in the White House. Which man is more in touch with the values we should admire?

        What is strange to me that no matter what happens people like you politicize it. Just recognize the American hero and leave your “feelings” out of it. #JamesShawJrIsMyHero 😘

        No. His “feelings” are important, and valid for our times. Why? Because if the black man had been the shooter, he’d be pointed at by @potus as a criminal and dangerous to society. Instead, he’s a hero and all we get is silence. #potusisracist

        From a CDN's point of view, where my country make those types of arms unavailable, apart from hunting rifles & target shooting arms, I do not see the need. Applicants are deeply screened & only qualified applicants can buy. 2-3 yr process. i shoot & I have no need for a AF-15 🤔

        Trump is a joke. Expecting him to behave in a civilized manner is an exercise in futility.

        He had the presence of mind, as a person of color, to throw the rifle far away...just in case the thugs with badges "fear for their lives" and start emptying clips at him...
