JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco.
Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots.
After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school.
He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom.
Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face.
The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital.
Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11.
According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children.
You are a hero, Kalub.
I will post on this every day until someone pays attention.
81 days.
That's how long it's been since Gary "Bubba" Blair died from "profound dehydration" in a feces-covered jail cell.
A mentally ill man died of thirst in a South Carolina jail cell. In 2026.
Let that sink in.
No one has been charged.
Gary "Bubba" Blair, 43, was loved by his family. Here's what's been reported:
🔹 Feb. 22: Bubba is booked into the Chesterfield County Detention Center on a nonviolent charge of impersonating a law enforcement officer.
🔹 His family says he weighed nearly 300 lbs going in and had struggled with serious mental illness since age 18.
🔹 April 22: He writes to his father, "I've lost about 90 pounds so far. I'm starving to death in here."
He says he's drinking from his toilet and has no mattress, and closes with "No help for a white man."
🔹 May: He writes to a circuit judge, "I weighed 292. 9 days later I weighed 270."
🔹 A judge finds him incompetent to stand trial but restorable with treatment.
🔹 June 3: He's ordered into the care of the SC Office of Mental Health for treatment.
🔹 He never gets there. Officials reportedly cite a backlog of about 9 months.
🔹 July 24: He's found dead on the floor of his feces-covered cell, 51 days after that order.
🔹 The autopsy rules it a homicide from "profound dehydration" due to "deprivation of water," according to the family's attorney.
🔹 6 black jail staff are fired, including the detention director.
🔹 SLED is still investigating.
🔹 Charges: none
Bubba would have been begging for food, for water, for help.
He said he wasn't allowed to shower for 28 days.
He said he was beaten.
81 days, and barely a peep from national media.
Bubba deserved help.
He deserved water.
He deserved food.
He deserved better.
And no one gives a damn.
What do you think would be happening if a black man died in the same circumstances, and with a white jailer crew watching?
Share this so he isn't forgotten.

Why doesn't anyone care about this?
This man was deprived of food and water while he was in jail.
The jailers saw him every single day.
He lost almost 100lbs in less than 6 months.
He was forced to scoop water from the toilet to drink.
He went nearly a month without a shower because there was no water.
According to his family, the cause of death was profound dehydration.
He wrote to his father, begging for help.
He told his Dad he was starving, that he was being beaten.
He wrote, "there's no help for a white man."
He wrote to the judge, but the judge never received the letter.
A man was treated worse than animal.
For months.
He was found dead, on the feces-covered floor of a cell.
6 black jail employees were fired. Not arrested.
The death was ruled a homicide.
These people saw him, heard him, and probably smelled him.
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Now imagine if 6 white jailers had done that to a black man.
Or if ICE did it to an illegal.
Cities would still be burning.
His name was Gary "Bubba" Blair.
His life mattered.
His death was a crime.
@WikiLeaksQ Civilians don’t realize how much these people go through, day after day, year after year. It’s an ugly business. They see the worst of humanity and are treated like dirt by many. My grandfather was a sheriff in Little Rock Arkansas and he died an alcoholic to forget. R.I.P.
