Critics are lashing out after a man carrying a concealed pistol stopped a mass shooting at an Indiana shopping mall, arguing the man should not be called a "Good Samaritan."

"The term, ‘Good Samaritan’ came from a Bible passage of a man from Samaria who stopped on the side of the road to help a man who was injured and ignored," wrote CBS4 traffic anchor Justin Kollar on Twitter Monday. "I cannot believe we live in a world where the term can equally apply to someone killing someone… my God."

Kollar's comment comes after a gunman opened fire at a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall on Sunday, killing three people before he was gunned down by a man legally carrying a pistol, according to police. Reports on Monday found that the man who put a halt to the shooting was actually in violation of Greenwood Park Mall policy, which bans the carry of weapons in its facility.

Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers credited the man with saving several lives by killing the shooter, saying they were grateful for his "quick action and heroism."

"Someone we are calling the ‘Good Samaritan’ was able to shoot the assailant and stop further bloodshed," Meyers said in a statement. "This person saved lives tonight. On behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism in this situation."

But some critics joined Kollar in criticizing the man's actions despite him allegedly putting a stop to the mass shooting.

"The Good Samaritan paid for an unknown immigrant's health care out of pocket," comedian John Fugelsang wrote on Twitter. "The Good Samaritan did not shoot anyone. Jesus was not a fan of killing for any reason, including self-defense. But if these ammosexuals had ever read the Bible, they couldn't support the GOP or NRA."

"I don’t know who needs to hear this but when a 22-year-old illegally brings a loaded gun into a mall and kills a mass shooter armed with an AR-15 after he already killed three people and wounded others is not a ringing endorsement of our implementation of the Second Amendment," Moms Demand Action Founder Shannon Watts said on Twitter.

But despite the man's apparent lack of regard for mall rules, his actions were also praised by Greenwood Park Mall representatives.

"We grieve for the victims of yesterday’s horrific tragedy in Greenwood. Violence has no place in this or any other community. We are grateful for the strong response of the first responders, including the heroic actions of the Good Samaritan who stopped the suspect," a mall spokesperson said.

The real problem is that this is an immediate and unmistakable rebuke to what happened in Uvalde. They are actively trying to destroy the "good guy with a gun" argument as either a fiction (Uvalde) or white supremacist vigilantism.

This incident is a clear example of how ridiculous their rhetoric is, and that's why they hate it.

They prefer their narrative to reality. Their narrative gives them power and license.

Reality does not.

They will kill you and see everyone you love and everything you hold dear utterly destroyed to protect their narrative.

The left’s obsession with relating “gun owner” to “bible thumper”, and then using said relation to try and make gun owners look like hypocrites is hilarious. Newsflash, dummies: A metric shit ton of 2A supporters don’t give two shits about religion. So you can miss me with that “Jesus wouldn’t call that man a Good Samaritan” bullshit.

Props to the guy for stopping the shooter. How anyone could be mad at that is mind-boggling. Just goes to show that antigunners don’t really care about stopping mass shootings.

Yep. Straight from Jesus mouth. It's obvious that whoever it was in that article who was trying to say Jesus was never okay with killing under any circumstance has never read the bible.

First off, the man in the parable was NOT an immigrant.  Since from Samaria didn't get along with Israelites, I assume he was a regular Jew. That would certainly fit the context of the parable.  They were both subjects of the same empire.  

Secondly, even though Jesus isn't a fan of killing anyone, there's no possible way you can read both the OT and NT and think that God (and by extension, Jesus), is completely opposed to ending someone's life.

Just read an article where some scumbag knocked over 2 convenience stores. Was committing his third armed robbery of the morning when an armed person dropped him while he was holding a knife to the female clerks neck. I think this happened in Missouri? I hope this becomes a trend. As to the “good samaritan” thing, fine dont call them that. Call them”Person with which you don’t want to fuck”

What's so insane about all this is the good guy stopped the bad guy from killing more innocent people, yet the left is hung up on HOW he stopped him.

Would the left feel better if he used a knife instead to stop the shooter by stabbing him to death? What if he used a baseball bat and bludgeoned him to death?

How he stopped the shooter is really irrelevant. Just goes to once again show liberalism is a mental disorder.
