The mass shooting terrorist attack in Orlando has been discussed endlessly by the liberal media for weeks now, but you probably didn’t hear about another mass shooting that occurred this past weekend in South Carolina.

Why didn’t you hear about it? Well, because it was promptly stopped by a concealed carrier who used his gun to take out the bad guy before he could kill anybody.

According to the Spartanburg Herlad-Journal, the incident happened in the early hours of Sunday morning in Lyman, South Carolina. Jody Ray Thompson, a 32-year-old Lyman resident, allegedly got into a verbal confrontation with another man outside the Playoffz nightclub at about 3:30.


Thompson quickly decided to escalate the verbal altercation, firing at random into the crowd and hitting three people. One of the men who was shot at, however, had a concealed carry license. He fired back at Thompson, wounding him in the leg and stopping his rampage.

Thompson has been charged with four counts of attempted murder; the man who returned his fire will not be charged, according to police, as he was acting in self-defense.

Of the three people who were hit, only one was seriously injured — Renada Shantrice Irby, 34, who had one of the bullets lodged in her pelvis.


According to Bearing Arms, Thompson had a criminal record dating back to 2003 and should not have legally had a gun. But apparently, gun control didn’t keep this criminal from getting it.

Shocking, right?

Meanwhile, liberals have been trying to take guns away from people like the man who ended this mass shooting, legal gun owners who want to defend themselves.

The media is along for the ride. That’s why the fact that a potential Orlando-style mass shooting, minus the terrorist motivation, isn’t being covered — because a legal gun owner was able to stop it.


If the media wants to pretend that they cover both sides of the story, then what happened in Lyman, South Carolina, needs to be reported. It shows just how important the Second Amendment is to protecting ourselves as a people.

If someone like this man had been at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, maybe there wouldn’t be 49 dead people.

to bad the amount of peoples lives who have been saved is not ever taken into account.

this guy could have taken out 20 people.

That's exactly right. The news media only reports on major killings so that they can justify (in their minds) their anti 2A agenda. When guns are credited for stopping the killings it goes unreported.

I didn't hear a peep about it, it doesn't conform to their false narrative so mums the word.

Saw this story last night on Weasel Zippers.
The media is nothing if not 100% bias driven. No gay angle, no racist angle, good guy stops the criminal. No reports of CCW injuring anyone except the bad guy. So far no LEO's involved either. Nothing against police, but this being well-handled by a civilian CCW proves our point so much better.

No scary black rifles, period! Nothing they can sensationalize.

High body count scares people. Scared people look for something to assuage their fear. Media tells them firearms. They follow like sheep. Liberals don't want people to hear stories about how firearms can save your life and how you can defend yourself. Fear keeps people in check. Scared people are easy to control. Tell them whatever you want gone and they'll push for it as long as it's for 'safety' and 'security.' Useful idiots.

While looking to see who actually covered this story (Washington Times only MSM to do so) I stumbled upon yet another reason to NEVER think Snopes knows what the hell they are talking about.

When giving "mass shooting" statistics, they'll count any incident where more than one round was fired. But when faced with a situation like this they claim that "this incident as described doesn't fit the template for a mass shooting." Fuck Snopes!
