Geraldo Rivera Thinks Victims In Orlando Should Have Fought Back

According to #GeraldoRivera, partygoers at #PulseNightclub in #Orlando should have brought fists to a gun fight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

On Monday, Rivera took to “Fox & Friends” to discuss #OmarMateen, the man who used an AR 15 assault rifle and handguns to murder 49 Orlando club goers and injure 53 others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“When you’re in that situation and you have no weapons, you have two choices. If you can’t hide and you can’t run, there’s only two choices: You stay and die, or you fight. For God’s sakes, fight back. Fight back,” said Rivera. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

He continued, “There’s 100 people that he murdered with one weapon that he reloaded. When he reloaded they must, people must, America must understand, we are at war with Islamic terror, with these terrorists. We’ve got to stop them in Raqqa, we’ve got to stop them in Mosul, and we’ve got to stop them in the Pulse, Orlando.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Former presidential #BenCarson previously shared the same sentiment following the deadly rampage at #Oregon’s Umpqua Community College in October. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At the time Carson said, “I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say: ‘Hey, guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.’”
