Donald Trump on Wednesday morning jumped to the defense of his fellow Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, who was criticized on Tuesday for suggesting that shooting victims work together to confront a gunman.
Ben Carson was speaking in general terms as to what he would do if confronted with a gunman, and was not criticizing the victims. Not fair!

During an interview on “Fox and Friends” on Tuesday morning, Carson explained how he would have handled a shooting.
“Not only would I not probably not cooperate with him. I would not just stand there and let him shoot me,” Carson said. “I would say, ‘Hey guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.’ “
Guys who NEVER encountered live fire, assert they’d heroically leap into self-sacrificing action - without hesitation. Greater chance they’d just defecate in their pants.
It would all be laughable, save for the very real chance that one of these mean-spirited bloviators with horrible judgement has a very real chance of becoming President.
Trump complaining about ‘not fair’, that’s rich
I sincerely hope there are no more mass shootings in America.
I also sincerely hope that in the event a mass shooting happens again, that Trump and Carson are both present so that they can show those loser victims of the dozens of mass shooting since Columbine, how it’s done.
Maybe 'Not fair!" is a dig against Carson for NOT criticizing the victims?
