The word “hero” gets thrown around too often, but Ahmed Al Ahmed truly fits the description.
A good guy *without* a gun who put his life on the line preventing further harm and tragedy.
May he recover quickly from his wounds and be treated with the respect he deserves.
My heart is with 🇦🇺.

A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.
The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.
He will be fine according to a relative.

When a school shooting happens, Republicans don’t blame the guns — they blame mental health issues.
But now Donald Trump is cutting $1 billion in mental health funding that aimed to stop gun violence in schools.

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”
Do I have that just about right?
