You are correct Albert since James took action to stop the shooter even if it meant losing his life in the process.
Such a brave act! I didn’t know about this.
I agree with you that James did an act of bravery to wrestle the weapon from the gunman at the Waffle House in Tennessee.
This guy is like an angel, he is one all of the news networks. It seems every day he is doing something else. We should all learn from this guy. We could all be like him and should try to be. He saved lives.
James is indeed a hero that saved lives during a shootout with the shooter at his place of employment in Nashville. As well as a caring person.
Yes we need more people like him in the world.
I agree with you Carol DM. More heroes and less wimps.
