I wouldn't call the shooter a hero (not that they don't deserve a positive title), they are a victim unfortunately and I wouldn't want people to start calling me a hero if I had to go through that (killing can't be easy mentally or emotionally).

I'm just waiting for the whatever (individual/group/notsurewhatthefuckwouldwork) that fixes the problem on a more permanent basis (they're just gonna pay the next CEO more now). If this actually becomes a trend I could see it being effective (fear is a powerful motivator), but even with things like school shootings it doesn't actually change anything. The richer CEO's and others of that class will just laugh at the poorer CEO's who actually have to go out in public like that.

Nobody who acts like a hero does it without having incurred massive personal suffering to drive them
