From the link
"I spoke with him," Oliver Robinson, a witness, told the station. "He was walking through, and he was saying 'Who hit me? I'm looking for who hit me?' That's when I told him, 'Hey man, you don't have to go through this, put that down.' And at that time the VA police took him down
The least we can do is bring back the AWB IMO
