Oregon shooting survivor offended by Carson’s remark

During an interview on Wednesday with Sirius XM Radio’s Karen Hunter, Carson recounts a time when he was held at gunpoint at a Popeye’s business in Baltimore.

The Trump defense comes as Carson has surged to second place in a few polls behind Trump, who continues to lead the GOP pack.

Carson speculated that Downing’s comments were “fed to him” by someone who misconstrued what he meant when he said he would have risen up to attack the shooter. “I would say, ‘Hey, guys, everybody attack him!’ He may shoot me but he can’t get us all”. Tuesday on Fox News live Carson said that he wouldn’t just stand there and let the gunman shoot him.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Ben Carson’s call for those caught in mass shootings to rush the attacker is drawing criticism from public safety experts and little support Wednesday from his presidential rivals. Carson has said that to stop gun violence that data collection is needed to prevent mass shootings from happening.

On Monday, he wrote on Facebook, “I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away”. “That way, we don’t all wind up dead”. “They’re just trying to find a defect so that they can cause more division”, Carson replied.

“Ultimately, it’s going to take a transformation of the heart, that only Jesus Christ can do in a person”, she said. “When you look at tyranny and how it occurs, the pattern is so consistent: Get rid of the guns for the people first so you can go in and dominate them”.

Has anyone made the case yet that Ben Carson is an unfeeling robot that is mimicking human emotions as best he can where his algorithm deems it appropriate?

He said the Holocaust would have been less deadly if people in Europe had guns. He told Fox News earlier this week that he would have been aggressive in rallying people to fight back against the shooter.

The candidate said he wouldn’t visit Roseburg, Oregon, the site of the shooting, as President Obama did, because it would inject politics into tragedy. The gunman, who had a history of mental illness, killed himself after police officers arrived on the scene and exchanged gunfire.
