Johnnie Langendorff saw the shooting this past Sunday and gave a ride to the neighbor who confronted the shooter. They gave chase, called the cops, and kept the shooters car in sight until police arrived. Reminds me of the good Samaritan in Baby Driver or some tale of the old West. Glad there are still doers and helpers in the world.

In the interview he says " the other guy came to my truck and told me what the other guy did and we need to follow him, so I did"

This s comment section should be entertaining

i like the gunlaws in texas, but its WAY to hot for me to ever want to live there.
RonakTheConqueror
This guy is a good dude, those shootings affected my community if he wasn't there it could have been a whole lot worse
DonovanMcGillicutty
Makes me think of "Hell or High Water".
cobragrunt
I know exactly what you mean.
BriefausdemGeist
I’m concerned. You’re either trying to say “there are” or “they are/they’re” and either could work.
cobragrunt
Both :) you decide constant reader.
blacksheepcannibal
It's all fun and games when he doesn't kill a family of 5 in a minivan during a high speed chase with no training.
cobragrunt
They didn't go far and it was rural Texas.
andtheseashalltell
Gonna be honest: I've never met anyone with a frontal neck tattoo that was a nice person. But he did his good deed either way.
derpwagon
I've met plenty of nice people with neck tattoos.
SuurFett
Well its good that you guys have easy acces to guns so you can confront terrorists
Legionofboom
Someone buy this guy a beer, good job sir.
OliverClothesoff70
This guy will have his beers bought for him in any Texas bar he visits for months to come. I hope he doesn’t develop alcoholism.
cobragrunt
A six pack and a ranger badge would also work.

..and a wheelbarrow for their huge balls
ohshitausername
We have lots of doers and helpers in Texas. We're an awesome state. I'm very proud of this man.

All anyone knows my sate for is being the first to Succeed and then threaten to do it again.

Secede. Lol
cobragrunt
Shhh, they think they succeeded in seceding.

Must have been a quad cab to fit both of them, the rifle, that country pride and those huge freaking balls.

I read somewhere the neighbour is the actually hero because before this guy showed up the neighbour had already shot the shooter once
ILogInToUpvote
Why not both? One was there to help immediately, one answered the call to help when asked.
InternetNamesMatter
A man's gotta do what a man does
leroy666
Does nobody think that this was a disaster that luckily ended well. A shootout? what could possibly go wrong. Life is not an oater.
Crossark
From his description of events, after the shooter drove off the neighbor with the gun ran up to him and hopped in his car and exclaimed(1/2)
Crossark
"He just shot up the church." With an armed man seeking vengeance in your car, what else is one to do? (2/2)
TheWorseJuan
This is shaggy's texan cousin
CommanderWilliamTRiker
fuck yeah Texas!
Laserdiscmemories
"Kept the shooter in sight" You mean also returned fire on the shooter.
cobragrunt
After he crashed, these two kept an eye on the car.

That man looks like a Texan if I had to guess. Glad theres still good people in the world.

Lived in Texas my whole life. San Antonio actually. Only seen like 5 people that look like this.
creechville
That is the wrong part of texas
thiscommentwillselfdestruct
Wow, even with Austin just a short drive away? I saw at least 5 people like this in one day at Sea World.
BurnerAccountYo
And they were all Texans. Boom case closed
nursebeard
Looks more like Florida man to me
nome2003
Thats because you live in San Antonio, not many country folk here.
deadsmurfsryumy
That couldn’t have been a “Good Samaritan” in Baby Driver. He had a full auto MP-5
jogthejewelsquickly
I love that movie but that bothered me so much
PeterNormal
I thought that was their inside man with the "nose problem" he had second thoughts and snapped even though spacey was gonna ruin his life
ManannanMacLir
I️ was definitely rooting against him
Benorf
Agreed, he was endangering other civilians.
cobragrunt
He was also a Marine by the hat and stickers. But what he was doing with an MP-5 I'll never know.
RagleSpragle
I think the director was asked this, and just responded with "He's american"
cobragrunt
Also a conservative, African American, and vet. Living in Atlanta.
ParaBellum96
Have you ever met a Marine?
cobragrunt
Lived with them. Worked with them. Still... MP5 full auto is out of most of their range of things they can buy.
ParaBellum96
A brand new Mustang costs more than $20,000
cobragrunt
True, but a car payment is easier to explain to the wife than a gun payment.
williamvanauger
can we talk about how fucked up it is for trump to blame mental health when he signed the bill letting mental health cases to get guns?
beanblanket
Shhh the community is circle jerking at the moment... they don't want to think about illogical gin control decisions.

honeybunchesofpwn
The "mental health" bill was opposed by the ACLU. Had nothing meaningful to do with mental health. Had to do with Social Security benefits.

Shhh... Shhhhh...... Facts are not welcome here.
nakedpuritan
Yes! Honor the names, faces and stories of the good samaritans & the victims of a tragedy. Perpetrator should get nothing - zero notoriety
yzrocketman
God bless the heroes in this world.
soulman901
That's why I say we need to cremate the bad guy & flush them down a toilet or throw out in the garbage cause that's what they are. Garbage
worldling
That's actually brilliant
ashipthatshipsshippingships
100% agree. For one of the mass shootings I remember that some media outlets only referred to him as "the shooter", and I liked that
leroy666
I bet if his name had been Mahmoud, it would have been released by the media.
wabitgirl
I don't even know what color the shooter was. Is America finally growing up a bit?
BothersomeGoulash
If it wasn't white on black, the media doesn't care.
DEATHHHHH
We must remember it all. The good, the bad, the shameful, the ugly. (In my honest opinion)
azazyel
Yup, I never want to see a picture of that fuckwit
PepperPeanutsVagenis
It's because you see his face doesn't mean you are making him famous.
azazyel
If I saw his face it's because it was on the news which would
leroy666
I don,t think the good samaritan had anything to do with an armed shoot em up style car chase, or did I misread that. I better read again.
mcduff73
spot on the media should never carry the names of the bastards that carry out such atrocities
BothersomeGoulash
I purposely block out the name of that douche that killed John Lennon.
TresusIbor
Well you can't exactly go wiping out facts just to avoid giving fame...
nakedpuritan
Come on, you know (or should know) I didn’t make your claim. Facts should remain as they are. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cGZkCPo7tC0
TresusIbor
So how does the perpetrator get zero notoriety without striking his name from the event entirely?
nakedpuritan
Here’s my olive branch... Yes, technically it’s impossible. I said zero notoriety but I would settle for less.
leroy666
You can if it fits your political agenda.

Not ruined.

.....i was kidding
TheMiseryOfOthersMakesMeHappy
What gets me is all the hate being thrown at the victims. People are basically saying that they deserved to die because they were in church.

Ya can I get a source on that? A) id like to know who these twats are B) all I've seen so far is the people saying "less prayers more laws"

Before anyone jumps on my case, no, I'm not talking about the comments talking about legislation. I'm talking about people like Handler and
TheMiseryOfOthersMakesMeHappy
Wheaton who would rather attack people than actually have a discussion. People want to use a tragedy to attack others. That needs to stop as
TheMiseryOfOthersMakesMeHappy
much as the gun violence.
ilovecake
I’m not a religious person, but I will never think or say people deserved to die because they were religious or in a place of worship.
TheMiseryOfOthersMakesMeHappy
Neither am I, and I'll say the same thing. How people can even say that they deserved to die because they followed a religion makes me
TheMiseryOfOthersMakesMeHappy
physically sick.
ilovecake
My thing is this: as long as you’re not trying to force your religion on me or hurt other people, we’re good. Do what makes you happy.
TheMiseryOfOthersMakesMeHappy
That's how it should be. Sadly, we live in a world where people think that how a person thinks is offensive and is justification to kill
holyguacamonica
He looks like he would say "you gotta do what you gotta do." to anyone who asked why he did it.
thiscommentwillselfdestruct
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
whotookbearyawesome
Or “Not in Texas, pussy!” As he attempts to tackle the assailant
AVoiceOfReason
That's why Leela quit her job.
paigezero
Just 'cause him on the news, his quote was something like "He destroyed so many lives, why wouldn't you want to take him down."
paigezero
*caught* him on the news, even.
Ginimouw
So why did you do it, why did you help? “Sometimes you gotta get ‘er done!”
urawizardarry
They did ask him that question in the interview and he did actually kinda say that lol
b4il3y
"Just doin my job mam."
seafox7
@holuguacamonica You almost nailed what he actually said to the reporter verbatim
Vaanhalen
"What were you thinking during that chase?" "Just... get it done. Whatever it takes."
mdzmdz
rabbiebabbie
From hero to axe killer
eleonidas
That's almost exactly what he said.
cobragrunt
And that is what makes him a helper.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Did you just Mr.Rogers me?
cobragrunt
Yes. Yes I did. I take my shoes off just like him because I watched him do it so often.
tootscootinboogie
Don't forget to hang up the cardigan your mom made you too.
cobragrunt
Man... I wish.
mmmmmmmmmmmwhatyousay
I too take my shoes off inside, BECAUSE ITS DISGUSTING TO WEAR SHOES INSIDE
cobragrunt
No I mean I sit down and untie them and all that jazz.
OneFootInTheGravyTrain
i think "disgusting" may be a bit of a stretch
KobeBurger
Why
AndrewCanadian
The good Samaritan in Baby Driver had a friggin' select fire MP5K tucked into his passenger seat! He was pissed they beat him to the heist
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
he was probably private security. not a "good Samaritan"
cobragrunt
What bank has private security? They already had others. And in the news report they say he was a bystander.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
I missed that part. I've worked at three banks in areas where there were a rash of robberies, they all hired the same company to basically>
cobragrunt
Makes sense.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
>have one or two guys sit out there in his truck in plain clothes with an m4 in case anyone showed up to rob the joint.
cobragrunt
He also looked to be a middle class, African American Marine vet in a really big truck. I was very confused.
AndrewCanadian
Right?! Had he pulled a pistol and went ham I would have been all for it. MP5K made me go hhhhhhhmmmmm?!
cobragrunt
Right? At first I was like this guy is just trying to help after people got killed. Then he went full terminator.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
the impression I got was that he was plainclothes private security
AndrewCanadian
Ever seen a plain clothes anyone with a select fire MP5K that wasn't secret service or a criminal? Me neither.
cobragrunt
MP7 is way more normal for private security. Source: Seen rich people guards.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
an mp5? no. an m4, yes.
AndrewCanadian
Yup. M4/AR for sure. The MP5 was just super fishy.
