Believe it. The world is an ugly place, & it aint just the ppl who carry out these senseless killings. The quantity of ppl villainizing him for ignoring the 'gun free zone' is equal to the severity of each of these mass murders.
@@communistjrotc1 Lets agree that all of them are in the same boat of cluelessness. They will only listen to and recycle their own bullshit, with their fingers in their ears.
@@lu57val It is state by state. Indiana no gun signs on private businesses don't hold the weight of law in Indiana though you can be asked to leave for braking the policy of the private business. Indiana law lists the places you cannot carry a firearm in the law and malls are not one of them.
As a resident of the city of Indianapolis and a patron of Greenwood Park Mall, I can’t applaud or thank that man enough for taking action. My family shops at that mall and 2 of my daughters work at that mall.
@@pyronderman9055 miss read what the man wrote, what I read was “I can’t applaud or thank that man for taking action”, I didn’t see the word “enough” somehow 😂I thought the man was against humanity
👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ myself and my 6 year old daughter was there in the food court. 30 feet from the shooter. Eli is a true HERO. I give to shits about the mall policy which you are correct Eli did not break any laws. It should not even be a topic on the news or any where. He saved our lives and I will be forever grateful ❤️
As a Indiana resident and person who frequents the Greenwood Park mall I think the guy truly is a hero. I have been in that mall several times and have seen people carrying guns. It was truly a tragedy what happened that day but I think it could’ve been worse had he not been there
Right man.. I was at Greenwood mall the day before the shooting with my ol lady. we like going to Portillo's or eat somewhere then the mall and uncle bills. I'd did not carry that day and since it hit so close to home I'm making sure it goes with me everywhere now
@@sirpsychosseexxy7203 if you choose to carry, you shouldn't half-ass it. Either carry daily wherever legally possible, or don't carry at all. If you choose to carry, you should feel naked without it. It should be a daily regimen check, wallet, keys, phone, firearm. Please don't take this comment as me being a jerk. My point is just that, if that dude didn't decide to carry that day...need I say more? It's better to have it and never need it than needing it, and not having it.
If one only carried when in a bad area NEWS FLASH trouble can happen ANYWHERE, even in safe areas. If you know something bad was going to happen, you'd make a point to not be there when it did.
Amen! My child has an interview and we were there. We didn't see this. Thank God. This woman makes me sick. And I don't care for massive weapons. I have a small one in my house, but that's here nor there- That dude is amazing for what he did. And I can't believe this woman.
HERO!! No doubt. No question - that young man is a hero! What’s unfortunate is that there aren’t more fathers and mothers - grandfathers and grandmothers teaching, training and instilling such morals , dedication, respect and skills in their children today!!!!
I’d say one has lost the argument when one cannot acknowledge someone’s bravery in order to protect a narrative that is falling apart. Sunny has lost the argument and her damn mind.
She bought a pistol during the pandemic/rioting. I saw the clip of the View where she talked about the purchase, going to the range with her friends, and the feeling of "empowerment" she got from the feeling that she could defend herself and her kids. She's one of the privileged New Yorkers that gets to have a firearm. She needs called out on her hypocrisy too.
It's so duplicitous and evil that every, single person that works to keep citizens from defending themselves are protected by firearms. Every. Single. One.
Spot on Peter! I asked a Leftist associate of mine the other day, because they bring out this 22 year old man shouldn't have had a gun, no one should have a gun! Exasperating dealing with these people. But, I put her on the spot, said: "Okay, let me buy your argument, no guns! Now, if you can get President Biden (and others) to give up their armed guards, I'll go along. If the argument is that if all law abiding citizens give up their guns, then the criminals will as well, let's do it!" Boy, did she look stupid! She realized just how ridiculous her argument is. We've got to keep calling these people out! Don't think I convinced my nutcase Leftist coworker, but, 2 other employees were listening, both said they never thought of my argument before, it makes sense. Well, who knew, golly gee! I might have made 2 converts Peter!
@@coolgranddad5430 When the government seeks to privilege itself with arms that it explicitly denies to the people, such action is not only an explicit violation of second-amendment protections, but it exemplifies the very reason the second amendment was put in place.
@@markwest8960 Ironically, I can't think of a single thing ANY Politician has done that has had a direct positive affect on my life or livelihood. On the contrary, I can list a plethora of things Politicians have done that have negatively affected me.
So she took one course in defensive firearms and now she's an expert. WTF? She's an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect: knowing just enough about a subject to be dangerous.
I have a doctorate in nuclear physics because I watched the movie “China Syndrome.” Cheers. Also, I have a minor in Middle Eastern History…parents took me to see “Lawrence of Arabia.”
They don't even realize that their claim makes them look like lunatics to the public. I have said it before that the criminal broke the gun free zone "rule" (not law) with intent to kill while the hero did not break the rule with intent to kill. If the criminal had not had intent to kill in the first place the hero would never have had to defend lives. Intent is 9/10s of the law. Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
Makes them "look like lunatics"?? Nah, they've always been psychotic, now the clowns are almost makeup free - AKA EXPOSING THEMSELVES IN THE CLEAREST, MOST SUCCINCT WAYS
@@trikstari7687 It can't be even started. Because he broke no laws. Mall policy/Code of conduct has no legal authority besides being trespassed or escorted out.
He did kill though, so it could be argued that it's intent to kill. However, not all intent to kill is wrong. It depends on who you're intending to kill, a mass murderer or innocent people. He killed the mass murderer, which is morally right.
That's great! But ultimately unimportant since they have constitutional carry. This young man was 100% legal, 100% in the right. If I get the chance I'll shake his hand.
I’m in Indiana and was literally screaming at the screen when I first saw this clip. The disinformation was almost as bad as the utter contempt for Eli the HERO.
For someone that worked at the justice department I have to ask, what did she do there... sweep the floors? Her understanding of a rule vs a law is 5th grade at best.
Great point about the kind of person who says "that's too difficult to do", but also criticizes you as a social misfit if you train enough to make the difficult shot possible.
I would love to meet this man who’s actions saved lives. Tbh, I was at work when all this happened and I work not even 10 minutes away from where it all happened. Everywhere I go, I carry a handgun. Every public area I’m in, I scan my surroundings for possible threats. I am prior military. They train you to always have your head on a swivel and to always scan your surroundings no matter where you are. I never saw combat, but they still trained me just in case I needed to go. Like it or not, this man is a hero. I would love nothing more than to shake this man’s hand and thank him. I would’ve taken the same actions he did if I were there. God bless this hero.
@Charlie Scene I agree. I would like to shake this young man's hand. I wasn't in the military nor do I have any police training. But I also scan my surroundings constantly, when out in public. I'm not sure what caused me to start doing that. But I have most of my adult life.
This is total madness, that people saving lives are being vilified, what is the country coming to. I wonder how they would feel if their loved one or ones, where that situation, would they still say, well he still broke the law.
People like her are married to the narrative. If her own child was about to be gunned down by the shooter, she would still say that what happened was wrong.
I hate to wish bad things on people, but evil and cowardly people like Sonny need to have bad things happen to them so they realize why we need heroes like that guy from the mall
Always the people who cant shoot talk about being “trained with weapons” 40 yards away with 8/10 hits. That is a CRAZY impressive shooting skill. Eli is a chad.
That's more like expert+ shooting to say the least, 80% accuracy on a moving target at 40 yards. With a handgun that probably has a 3" or 4" barrel.. Especially in a crisis situation where seconds count and the cops are minutes away. He is very well trained and skilled with his firearm and knows that firearm inside and out. Knows the correct ammo to use to achieve the most accuracy, hand placement, site alignment and overall balance. The most important factor, his mindset on staying calm and focusing on the threat. I won't be surprised if local law enforcement offered him a job training their officers on how to shoot. Like Colion said, " that boy can shoot!".
I spend a good amount of time at the range and don't think that I could pull off 40% accuracy at 40 yards in a pressure situation. Really no one, including law enforcement, has any idea how they will react until they are in that situation. I expect that staying calm is 90% of the battle, but that is easier said than done. My carry gun of choice is a 1911 gov't, so I probably have a barrel length advantage over the guy that achieved 80%. This kid needs to get the recognition that he deserves and it would be nice to know what prep work he had done prior to this incident.
I train at 20-30, and 40 yards at the range. 30-40 yards is a very difficult shot especially in a highly dangerous situation. This young man is a tier 1 civilian operator. 9 out of 10 police officers couldn't score 80% hits at that range.
I reckon pressure and the stress of the situation made him perform better. It happens to plenty of athletes. We regret to it as the clutch gene in basketball. We've all hit a shot on a moving target at 40yrds. That ability is there.
@@nikolairose2739 you’re really comparing the pressure of winning and losing a game, to possibly losing your life if you mess up …..I’d say the pressure is much different bro . Can’t compare a sport to your life dude , nowhere even close to the same amount of pressure
@@nikolairose2739 I get what you’re trying to say but that’s a silly comparison. That’s like saying an NBA player should be able to be composed during a mass shooting because they’re good at hitting buzzer beaters.
@@nick4597 Agreed, adrenalin has the complete opposite affect for accurate fire lol. May get you pumped up in football to run a little faster but just makes your hands shaky when trying to hit a target.
"I'm trained! I'm trained!" ... yet doesn't seem to know the first, second, or third thing about the situation. What, exactly, was her training in?? Obviously not the law, and definitely not firearms. The way she lies and spouts ignorance, I'm inclined to think that she's a journalist.
Yes a stray bullet could have hit someone completely irrespective of how well he trains but the same can be said about professionals working as security officers. I work as a Cash In Transit Officer for Loomis Armored US myself and hitting 80% of your shots at 40 yards with a handgun is more than impressive(an active and moving threat at that)!! I would have used my micro rifle during a robbery at that distance! If a citizen/ civilian were helping me out during a robbery attempt I would welcome the help and not give a crap about the "no firearms" sign outside of the bank. Once the police patrolmen show up we have a 50/50 of them helping us or just eating doughnuts until the danger has ended for them.
The hero's bullet could have hit someone else while he was trying to kill a mass murderer . . . What difference would it make there was a mass murderer in the mall already shooting people . . . I would rather get hit by a stray bullet from a hero than to take a bullet for my mass murderer . . . So you seem to think he should have just done nothing and let this mass killer go through the mall shooting and just killing people . . And that the hero was wrong because one of his bullets could have strayed and hit somebody . . . While trying to stop the mass murderer . . . Why don't you shut up and go back to watching the Kardashians and eating your Twinkies . . 🖕🖕🖕
Reality: Hero prevents a massive tragedy Narrative: "good Samaritan" actually broke the law. The sad reality is, the only way for people like her to actually change their stance on the gun debate is to be in a similar situation like this one and the Uvalde school shooting, and it's fucked up.
Powerful video man. Been watching you for a while and I’m always impressed. I hope there is a lot more of this hero out there because we may need them in the future
I visited Tel Aviv a few years ago. While walking through the local market, I saw many vendors with rifles and pistols in plain sight. One elderly lady selling apples had a pistol next to the scales. I asked why so many people carried guns and she replied, "No one has ever attacked or injured anyone at this market!"
“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” - Thomas Jefferson
Our fore fathers had the insight, when writing the constitution, to include the second amendment. Knowing full well what happens when democracy turns into a dictatorship. It was only a matter of time until the beauty that they had birthed, turned into the beast that they were keeping at bay.
@@christophersmith0865 Also why they made ENUMERATED powers, so that the government was limited to only specific powers and abilities rather than full power which was later reigned in.
You are so right again buddy he is a law abiding citizen and he is a hero for sure save lives and be safe is my life open carry saves lives law abiding citizens don’t kill criminals don’t follow the law of the land keep up the great true words buddy mark from Tennessee 👍👍
You absoultely opened my eyes to a lot, especially a lot of the False info that Leftists and Anti-gun ppl put out. Thanks for being informed and insightful and properly educating ppl like myself on the actual Facts. Great channel
She is upset because he killed their poster child who they could use for their anti-gun agenda, thus killing their rant about people owning "assault rifles"...
It is a Fact that you can NEVER FIX STUPID!!!!!! Thank You for taking out this Killer he will never kill again, give him a bonus from the State of Indiana each year on the anniversary of this defensive action!!!!!!!
at the root of every mass shooting is all the democratic stupidity. they contol the education system and these shooters are a result of their indoctrination of hate
He didnt save anyone he purposely told the media his name and face to get a check. He was only thinking of himself in that moment. Fox news has corrupted your tiny minds.
Even the Mall Security Director I talked to, (who was aware of my training), told me not to worry about the signs, just keep it concealed and don't tell us!
@@LeinaVance When it's both Unconstitutional and tyrannical, absolutely! It's important to realize that those two factors are what create the vulnerabilities that allow these mass shootings in the first place. Do you really think a sign will protect you? After many years of protecting others from harm, I know what works and what doesn't. Gun free zones have never stopped mentally disturbed individuals who want to take a bunch of innocent lives and make headlines! When I visit a private home, I will honor the wishes of my host. When I am in a public place, I will assess the risk and defend accordingly. Let's not compare apples to oranges!
@@LeinaVance there is a difference between not okay and illegal. He was breaking no laws. If they had asked him to leave and he didn’t than that is a different story
Allow me to translate: "Damn that fella shut down the shooter before we could get our body count! How are we supposed to convince people to give up our guns if these heroes keep showing how they save lives?" She is a ghoul.
Brother, that’s my exact thought as well. These shootings seem well orchestrated. They can always find useful idiots to further their agenda using planned mass shootings.
She's fucking pathetic! She's a fool. I hope something truly bad happens to her & then is saved by a firearm that's "in an area that the gun shouldn't be in"
The fact that they're more concerned with him "carrying illegally" than the fact that he saved who-knows-how-many lives is very telling. They don't care about lives. They care about gun control.
She's mad because the hero messed up their PLANNED mass shooting. You really think young kids can get $10,000 to buy weapons and ammo. The exact ones the government is trying to ban. 9/11, Jan6th, all planned.
Someone tell her that private property "asking" people not to carry a gun, and ignoring that request isn't breaking the law. And the mall owner ACTUALLY was thankful to the man.
Well, I don't know about where the mall was, but some states do enforce "no concealed carry" signs on private property. So it IS possible it was actually illegal
@@frug5629 She was disappointed yes. It missed a few kills and that it was ended so early causing the hero to be more prominent in the media. They couldn't turn it into another media narrative against guns.
The man hit 80% of his shots at 40 YARDS! That's absolutely incredible. I've practiced at 20 yards and that's difficult, for a stationary paper target. Props to that man, he clearly practiced a LOT and I'm glad he was there that day to save others.
He made the commitment to train so much long before this situation. That is a message for all of us. We may not have a chance to be a hero as he was, but we all should be inspired by his example to be ready to do what is needed, both with our intention but more importantly with our skill.
Most policeman would have sprayed 15 rounds down range, hitting multiple people in their attempt to thwart the killer. This HERO obviously was taught to be aware of everything behind your intended target.
Also a Hoosier here. Law enforcement called his actions both “proficient and tactically sound” as well as “having no prior law enforcement or military training” that young man is a hero plain and simple.
@@marksommers6764 I'm fairly certain it's meant as mockery for those who say that unironically. Alternating text case like that often is meant to convey sarcasm.
With all of the attention to the Defender, I did not know that actions of the other hero. The action of administering aid to the wounded is equally Heroic. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I do feel bad for him though. Taking a life is always shit. At least for people with a moral sense and if he stopped a shooter you know he has one. I hope he gets help. The burden of it all just sucks. He did the right thing, but a life is a life.

@RU-vid Channel Most people who are denied access to legal firearms via gun-control laws live in Democrat strongholds--predominantly non-white places. Pretty sure she doesn't care what color the person is, as long as the policies she wants are written with their red blood.
This man is clearly a hero and saved countless lives by his bravery. Without hesitation he acted, putting his own safety aside and ended a serious deadly threat. The View, needs to STFU!!
The children in Uvalde were killed because of the gun free zones laws that prevented an armed citizen like a teacher, a janitor, a parent , a counselor, a security to shoot the killer ...like the young man did in the Indiana mall.Remember Uvalde....next time you call 911 ...if your life depend on the police saving you....you are screwed......BUY A GUN AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO USE IT ANYTIME, ANYWHERE YOU NEED IT!
It still amazes me how people feel no shame getting on national TV, talking about an issue they have no knowledge on with false information. She’s hating on someone who saved lives. That’s pathetic behavior
Sunny knows the truth. She is lying to save her brand and base. She has no self-respect, and no one should give her any respect. She has sold her soul to the media devil.
@@LarryBonson they bank on people's ignorance and emotional responses. It is crazy how far they can throw the agenda and people just allow it with out questioning it.
It was never about safety and saving lives, its always been about control. This only makes it more obvious, people need to wake up and defend our rights.
It's never been about safety. Gun control is control. They used to hide it more but lately because of the current anti gun administration it's been more and more obvious and they don't even try to hide it anymore.
It’s not difficult for these liberals/progressives to immediately show their true colors! When all this happened, I did not ONCE Hear or see any of them send out condolences, empathy for the victims and their families, or any other kind of support The way they did in regards to the other shootings. No They effortlessly discarded all that this time and jumped straight on the angry gun control bandwagon all because of a fucking $7.00 sign Which has nothing to do with the law!
You have seriously opened my eyes to their BS. I am going to be honest, I was not a big gun advocate until after watching your videos but now I see the truth for what it is, thank you.
You're not alone, many people are opening their eyes to the truth of their lies, the riots exposed many people to the fact that "when seconds count, police are only minutes away"... Welcome to the fold friend.
The past two years alone should have made you come to that realization as well. You are the sole person responsible for your safety. The 2A is the only thing that has kept this country from becoming the Australia or Canada or China of today.
Apparently thats what these anti 2a people wanted, they wanted the criminal to murder people, because a hero is not the narrative they want. They'd rather stand on the bodies of innocent people to spread their ignorance than have a hero prove their entire arguments wrong.
Exactly. The people on the View aren't exactly scholars. State law supersedes the policies of private businesses. If businesses did what they wanted, there wouldn't be a max exodus of businesses fleeing California due to state laws.
Three replies on this comment and Two have been hidden from the public. The peasants are GOING to be disarmed. Everything is stacked against the people.
Shouldn't the fact that he had to break the rules to even bring a gun into the mall to defend himself and other people, be the exact reason to get rid of those rules?
Exactly, the only thing her statement proves is how dumb a gun free zone is. Uvalde (among many other situations) taught us that we can't rely on Police to stop shooters...so she is literally admitting that the only way to stop an active murderer in a gun free zone...is to ignore the gun free zone. She's making the perfect case to get rid of gun free zones.
