    I don't get the whole 'how did a man with no training shoot so many people so accurately' argument. It was a crowded concert, he was firing from an elevated position with a rifle. Any bullet in an area the size of a football pitch was going to hit someone. Stevie Wonder could have easily made those shots. Unless you were using really really * homemade ammo, that was not a difficult task to shoot those people.

    What I have found a bit more difficult to easily dismiss is how he managed to put out the window.

    He was there. Helping people at the scene and he's donated a fair bit too.

    He went to get a gun, stupidly asked a cop for a gun as if he'd give him one. Videoed running towards the shooting. He's getting hounded on social media for being an attention seeker. Reality is he has helped more than 100% of the people criticising him.

    On yersel Dan.

    Alot of people would freeze up in that situation so credit where it's due. We all like to think we'd do the same but in reality most of us would likely hit the deck in a panic.

    Whilst that is true it's irrelevant here. As much of an * as he may be the fact that a bawbag like him is capable of such a selfless act should restore some faith in humanity considering the current state of the world.

    What was he planning on doing ? Storming the hotel with a handgun to go up against a guy with assault rifles etc ?

    Truth is, he seen a chance to use the situation to try and make himself look the big man and tried to take it. The real hard folk were actually helping the injured or dying without recording it all on camera to make it about themselves.

    He's a *.

    I would probably agree with this if he wasn't videoing himself doing it and plastering it all over his social media.

    Him asking a cop for a gun wasn't him trying to help, it was him wanting to look like a ticket for his social media.


    Not just him by the way. There's another video where a boys filming people shot in the head up close and trying to be cheeky with a doctor because the boys mum was a nurse.

    Just hate this generation. It's all about how they look online instead of just being decent for decencies sake.

    Why could he not help without videoing himself doing it ? incase he never got praise for it? Reminds me of the videos on youtube of people giving the homeless food etc. It's not really about feeding them it's an ego boost .

    Fair enough mate. Just trying to find point the positives of it. People seem to be incapable of seeing it sometimes when they have an agenda against someone/something.

    Totally agree about the current generation and what's most frustrating is it isn't just kids but people over 30 who should know better. I'd be quite happy for them to spend a night in the cells for robbing the dying of their dignity and essentially interfering with the emergency services ability to do their job but for the fact that it would take resources away from where they're needed in a crisis. If you're 35 or whatever and think that's acceptable you need a reality check.

    Just checked, 36.

    Also seen that he's been called out by a soldier for getting his phone out for social media and running away boasting about how he was going to do this and that instead of actually helping people.
