Man who opened fire on Texas church shooter hailed as 'good Samaritan'

87. Perfect

I specifically say that I meant no such thing. I specifically said don't try to spin it that way.

But your position is so weak you STILL do it. I said his intent is unknown. He could have just as easily been seeking to discourage pursuit, or observation/identification, or even to discourage reporting. I don't think I need to tell you this, but a firearm is actually a multi-purpose weapon. You WANT it to be an attempt to kill a random bystander because it's the ONLY one of these possible motives that suits your agenda and you ignore the fact that he had a specific purpose for his prior killings in order to get there.

As an aside, do you mind if I ask you a simple yes or no question? Have you ever been in a combat situation (and I don't just mean military, it could be as a law enforcement officer, or for that mater, even as a gang member (just as an extreme example)? I respect your answer either way. I am just curious.

Finally, you again fantasize about what Kelley was thinking instead of limiting yourself to the facts. He CHOSE to kill himself.

There may be more facts which point to a different story, maybe even a story much more like yours. If it does, I won't hesitate to admit that a "good guy with a gun" saved lives. It does happen.

BUT at this point saying it is a leap.
