He will never be the same again unfortunately, I wish him nothing but the best.

[jennifer.keeling]

As a Christian, I feel heartbroken that so much hate has infected the world. Jesus commanded his faithful to love others as you love yourself and that is the hardest commandment to follow.

Don’t scroll far enough to see the hateful comments. They exist and are 1. Too stupid and apathetic to be worth your headspace 2. Not worth responding to ( I know, I just did and don’t feel any better) My heart goes out to everyone involved and effected by this🖤Take care of yourselves

[humblecoder]

This comment section really makes me question humanity. people literally making jokes out of another person's pain. I hope nobody has to go through something like this.

[atoothbrush]

Some of y’all wanna joke about this in your grown age, that club could’ve been for straight people then all the sudden that’s when you’d give your condolences, think before you speak

[meowmeow]

I’m grateful for this man’s willingness to do this interview. Thank you Joshua, and I’m so sorry

[cd]

His last sentence "we shouldn't have to get together over something like this". says it all. When will someone listen?

[doug-dima-domee]

I can’t imagine going out with friends then end up witnessing them get murdered in front of you in milliseconds … god bless them how senseless. 😢 those poor innocent souls.

[pppaaattt]

I’m so sorry you as well as everyone there had to experience absolute horror. My thoughts and prayers are with all affected 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[stephcomedy]

I live in the springs and I have been to the club before nothing but nice people there 😢I’m sorry for the loss and people that got hurt God bless

[katieb]

Can’t imagine being a witness to something so horrific. Wishing this man and everyone else involved healing ❤️‍🩹

[meghan]

Horrible crime! The perp caused so much suffering. May he be sentneced to 5 lifetimes in prison.

[ryneldcurtis]

This is a horrible tragedy. This man will never be the same.

[bleh]

This poor man must be so traumatized, prayers for the victims

[TheSakufighter]

Sorry this happened. I don’t pray but I wish those injured a “full recovery” obviously never fully recover.

[Andre_APM]

Do yourself a favor and don't read the comments.

[jhavajoe]

Powerful description of events by this man. Anyone lacking empathy for this unjustly "demonized"
group have lost all their humanity. This shooter was the bloody hammer looking for nails. He is
the type, most easily swayed by others amplifying the hatred.

[DAndyLord]

They'll likely never be released to the public, but the security videos will show a gunman, a tonne of terrified people, and a few helpers.
During almost every tragedy or calamity there will be a small group of people who run into danger to protect others.

There are more helpers than bad guys.

Heard about the news from 🇵🇹
Sending my deepest condolences to the victim’s families and community.

[butterflygirl]

This breaks my heart. What is WRONG with Live and let live!!!!
