I can understand your unease with visiting the US, and I certainly don't wish to dismiss your valid concerns, but I think tragic and hateful events like this can also serve to highlight the good in people.

It should be noted that one of the injured was some random white dude who tried to pursue the gunman.

Again, I understand why you feel the way you do and I'm not dismissing those concerns, but there are a lot of wonderful people in the US as well.

Agreed. And to add to our comment his name is

Ian Grillot the hero in this story. There is a go-fund me page that was set up for him by his sisters.

Sadly all it takes is a gun in the hands of a non-wonderful person. Not dismissing your comment but as an Indian, I'm seeing the damage just one a can do compared against the wonderful people.
