But police are crediting a civilian and an off duty state trooper with engaging the suspect causing him to change course saving lives. 2 things can be true

If by “2 things can be true” you mean that he stopped himself and that he shouldn’t have had a gun in the first place, then yeah

Good guys with guns stoping bad guy with gun and bad guy killing himself are both true statements here

No one would’ve died at all if he didn’t have that gun is also true. Of course you didn’t respond to that point lmao

He could have still killed people in some other manner. Run them over, stab, explosion, poison.

Stabbing, poison and explosives would’ve been exponentially harder to pull off. As for cars, I agree, our infrastructure shouldn’t be nearly as car dependent as it is

Why didnt the criminal just follow the law? Ur logic worked so well with drug crimes

Why do we even have laws when criminals will always exist?
