As I mentioned earlier, Medal of Honor recipient (and Bristol Palin’s husband) Dakota Meyer had some harsh words for infamous social media playboy Dan Bilzerian after he posted a video of himself running from the Vegas massacre.
You should get all caught up here.
Are you caught up? Good!
Anyway, Bilzerian had some pointed words in response.
Bilzerian has since hit back at the veteran, saying: ‘So I wake up this morning and the news is talking s*** saying some Marine was saying that I was a p**** for running away and that I should have stood my ground when the guy was shooting at me with a machine gun.
‘So, I mean if we follow that retard’s logic we’d probably have 600 dead if everyone stood their ground instead of running for cover.’
The King of Instagram then started slamming the media, before adding: ‘They publish some f****** guy’s account, sitting behind a laptop, typing, trying to get his five minutes of fame.
‘He’s there blogging about me while I’m f****** delivering 8,000lbs of food and water in Vegas and going to hospitals.
‘And just to be clear, the first f****** thing I did after we dropped those two girls off at the hospital was I went and got my gun and went straight f****** back there and I was there for three f****** hours.’
I think it’s odd that he felt the need to put this all on Snapchat… but I do commend him for the efforts he has made to help the victims. Regardless of his motivation or attention seeking, 8,000 pounds of food to victims is nothing to scoff at.
Additionally, video has now been released showing a very different story.
New footage shows Dan Bilzerian returning to the scene of the Las Vegas shooting and asking a police officer for his weapon so he can fight back.
The ‘King of Instagram’ was slammed after a video released immediately after Sunday’s attack featured him running away from the gun rampage, in which 58 died.
But the latest clip shows him coming back to the scene and begging a police officer for a weapon so he can shoot back at gunman Stephen Paddock, 64.
In the new video, Bilzerian shows the officer his gun licence, but the cop tells him to go away as bursts of automatic gunfire go off in the distance.
The policeman, who is crouching behind a barrier, shouts: ‘No, get the f*** away from me right now, I don’t know who the f*** you are.’
A fair response from the police, for sure. Cops shouldn’t just be passing out guns to “volunteers.” They have no way of knowing who they just handed a gun to… BUT it does show that he wasn’t just some “p**y” running away. Maybe an idiot, but not a p**y.
I honestly don’t know who’s “right” here. Maybe neither of them are… maybe both.
PS Bilzerian entered the Navy SEAL training program in 2000 but failed to graduate despite several attempts…. He was reportedly dropped from the program for a ‘safety violation on the shooting range’.
