In reply to the discussion: New Fetterman ad [View all]Just A Box Of Rain
(5,104 posts)46. The impulse was to protect people in his community when there was gunfire in the street.
Nothing remotely "fucked up" about that in my point of view.
I suspect voters would feel the same way about a mayor who was willing to put his life on the line to protect theirs, because that's what happened.
And I may be misinformed, but I thought the man he stopped was running away from the scene (and was the only person in view) which reasonably made him a person of suspicion.
In my eyes Fetterman acted both reasonably and heroically. I'd like to see his campaign own that narrative.
We need this seat.

I asked the same question in the other thread about Fetterman's new commercials.

I'd prefer this incident not be 'used' to an advantage but to be called for what it was.
