I applaud him. He immediately jumped into action and tried to help. Active Military or not. Glad he’s alright. Same with the President. Trump 2024

[mygto]

Thank you, sir, for trying to help people.

[NFStamper]

Maybe we shouldn’t label our political opponents as existential threats to our nation.

[KNGHT]

Man jumped into action despite the chaos around him, well done!

[rebelvette]

Thank you for your service to this great country Rico.

[pixiestyx]

See that...that's American media at its finest. Not once did they ask him if he, needed help. No, they sensationalize the violence by asking obviously stupid questions. The man looks like he's in shock and they are hounding him. I hate our media!

[blackhorse]

Thank you young man………….This is what veterans do…………Bravo

[davidaames]

Hero mode activated when he saw people hurt
