@charlesswanson05: Telemachus Orfanos had already survived one mass sh**ting. On October 1, 2017, the 27-year-old was among the people caught in the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival attack. He survived. A little more than a year later, he found himself facing another terrifying situation. On November 7, 2018, a g*nman opened fire inside the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, during a college-country night. Smoke filled the building. People ran. Panic spread through the crowded venue. And Orfanos was there. According to the account provided, the man who had already survived Las Vegas put himself between the incoming g*nfire and people trying to escape. He didn't have to be there. He had already lived through something most people could never imagine surviving once. Yet when another group of young people needed a way out, he put himself in the line of danger. **He had survived once. This time, he didn't come home.** Orfanos was among the 12 people k*lled in the Borderline attack. His mother later spoke publicly about the unbearable irony of losing her son after he had already survived Las Vegas. That's what makes his story so difficult to process. He knew what g*nfire sounded like. He knew what panic looked like. He knew exactly what it meant to be trapped inside a mass sh**ting. And when it happened again, he still chose to protect other people. The world may remember Borderline as another tragic headline. But behind that headline was a 27-year-old survivor who had already been given a second chance at life. When that second chance was tested, he used it to protect someone else's. ❤️for educational purposes only #fyp #supportourveterans #supportourtroops #foryourpage
