While I am SO thankful for Ahmed Al Ahmed for his heroic act of disarming the shooter, I feel kinda weird how almost all discourse about the shooting has been centered around him instead of on the Jewish community undergoing a fatal hate crime.
I think it's like how there's a million movies about non-Jews that hid/saved Jews during the Holocaust, and almost none that feature Jews as heroic during the Holocaust, even though the number of righteous gentiles was tiny. More on reddit.com
