It is only after the smoke clears that we learn the rest of the story...or so we hope...but I just now learned that while the murder went from student to student executing Christians, other veterans wanting to help...one armed...were stopped from saving their classmates?
Any thoughts?

This is interesting and a good example of how the media can interview the same individual and generate a different narrative. Thanks for posting!
The same person also appeared on MSNBC and stated he chose not to intervene because he didn't want to the SWAT to confuse him with the shooter.
"Luckily we made the choice not to get involved ... We were quite a distance away from the building where this was happening. And we could have opened ourselves up to be potential targets ourselves, and not knowing where SWAT was, their response time, they wouldn’t know who we were. And if we had our guns ready to shoot, they could think that we were bad guys.”

The Veterans that failed to act were in the wrong, as were the teachers. What the professors failed to understand was that these veterans have unique skill sets. It is entirely possible that if a Medic or Corpseman had been there they could of rendered aid that might have saved lives. The Armed Vet could of gone with them to provide them protection while they rendered aid.
