  10. He did something the Police couldn't do, It's a shame people have to be terrorized just for existing.

  11. This true patriot owns Atrevida Beer Company with his wife in Colorado Springs. If you're near, give this guy some love and some business. I know I will next time I visit.

  12. This is a real hero, not the BS peddled on fox news.

  13. Most of us would be running to the door you ran into danger thank you sir God bless you

  14. You want to see a REAL patriot? You're looking at him.

  15. You ran in while others ran away, much respect.

  16. He's what being an AMERICAN is supposed to be all about. Serving others!

  17. People have to act fast to save themselves when this crap happens

  18. The leftist media hasn't started attacking this hero ? Not yet?

  19. This is what a real hero looks like.

  20. Stop Guns getting into the hands of crazy people ( the likes of Lauren Boeberts).
    LBGTQ peoples don't shoot up Bars of "Straights"
    Black Christians don't shoot up White Christian Churches.
    Latinos don't shoot up Supermarkets.
    Asiens don't shoot up Schools……
    White Supremists Gun freaks do all of the above. Conservatives. So called CHRISTIANS💥‼️

  21. In the slim chance that you see this, you did something so courageous and you saved so many lives. Thank you

  22. Rittenhouse types doing Trumpie stuff..
    we allow the suffering of innocent people by refusing to dish out our own brand of discriminatory justice.
    I say it's long overdue we have a culling of the crazy in this nation.
    I'm glad Trump is running for office again,. All our rotten eggs in one basket…💥

  23. They need to leave this man alone and let him heal… He lost friends and is still dealing with what happened that night. It's a lot for anyone. I hope one day, he can see that he saved a lot of people that night.

  24. Hero, saved lives. God bless you.

  25. I wish the Media wasn't bais & Reported this the same as when a Man stopped a Mass shooter with a legally carried Firearm, this man is a hero either way

  26. 😂 😂 😂 put some bass in that VOICe

  27. FYI The Imprudent don't like your hero. For small advice defend yourself against criminals. They might know where you are stay save ✌.

  28. Real warrior in combat 😢❤

  29. Absolute Hero! Hands down! Good guy beats bad guy to a pulp with bad guy's own gun! Metal of Honor to this man!

  30. Good guy without a gun stops bad guy with an assault weapon.

  31. This guy should be ashamed of himself supporting child groomers
