    that's crazy. why did it feel like that? i can't imagine! wish they would have told more about his injuries and recovery. if he got stabbed deep, it's amazing that he didn't suffer cognitive issues. he's an upright man, helping the lady then also fighting the guy too.

      Are you always such a negative person looking for a negative thing to say something that has nothing to do with this situation? That was a really really stupid question. Anyone knows in their right mind that know you don't go and do something if you see somebody shooting. Unless you're like me or someone else that carries a gun and you're legally allowed to because you live in a state that allows you to do it then yes somebody would have stopped and shot him because you're allowed. Quit being such a negative person and go get a freaking life.

      Seriously I'm just flabbergasted that you would make such a stupid comment. I guess you're jealous cuz you never would be able to save anybody. Otherwise I'm honestly don't know why you would try to change this whole story of a man saving somebody. You're the kind of person that makes people want to slap somebody.

    I've spent a lot of time there. My ex friend wanted me to go where her new friends had JUST had a driveby. I had three babies and she had two. I said no way am I risking my life. She said you have to live your life and not be scared. Risk the mother of your children to hang out at 12am while your boyfriend sleeps. She cheated on him constantly. Not a good place for good people.

      In spite of all the fake news, Biden Administration accomplishments are as undeniable as Trump's multiple epic failures.
      Most recently, he turned a $5 million debt into a $91 million debt, just buy flappin his bloated orange jaws.
      I don't want to give the guy too much credit, but has anyone ever bankrupted a casino in the history of casinos ? Who holds the Guinness World Record for bankruptcies ?
      The man has been shamelessly and competitively cheating in every aspect of his rotten life since leaving the womb.
      He had to pay big fines for scamming charities and Trump University was a straight-up scam. He's never had a wholesome unselfish moment in his entire stank-ass life.
