Yes, this is a tragic and complex way to have averted a mass shooting but that appears to be what happened. After being shot non-critically it appears the shooter lost their nerve, threw their rifle in a bag and tried to run/rejoin the crowd.

I've been bracing myself for the disgusting politics to hit. Like I can feel right wing pundits hand wringing to show the armed protesters 'have no idea how to handle guns.'

Adding fuel to the fire, we had a shooting last night at a multicultural festival where three were killed, one being 8 months old.

    Yeah, I'm afraid it's just the same as lack of concern over digital privacy. I don't want to diminish the bravery but I'm sure a lot of them aren't considering how easy it would be for trump co. to use pictures months down the line to identify protesters.

    Yeah. The linked Mastodon thread by GrapheneOS mentions them potentially making a phone themselves. I'd love if they partnered with fairphone to build it. Though it sounds like we'd need to accept a higher price than a standard fairphone.
