Waffle House Hero raises over 110K for Victims’ Families

(AP) – 29 year old, James Shaw Jr. was hailed a hero after he successfully disarmed a shooter who allegedly opened fire at a Tennessee Waffle House early Sunday. He has now raised over $110,000 for the victims’ families as of Tuesday evening.

Ever since Shaw’s unselfish act of bravery, Americans have been singing this hero’s praises.

All except for one.

President Trump, who, after the Florida school shooting in February, said he would confront a mass shooter “even if I didn’t have a weapon,” has yet to utter a public peep about someone who actually did.

“Your silence on the Waffle House shooting and bravery of James Shaw Jr. is deafening @realDonaldTrump, especially after recognizing the Toronto victims,” tweeted Sara Hoback, a Washington D.C.-based homeless counselor. “You are the epitome of a racist and are a soulless human being. Every day it gets worse and worse.”

Shaw burned his hand grabbing the gun. A bullet grazed his elbow.
