We’ve covered Dan Bilzerian before.
He’s a controversial Playboy-type who is essentially famous for being famous.
He was at the Las Vegas concert that was attacked last night, and recorded himself running as he noted that a girl “had just been shot in the head.” He posted those videos on Snapchat.
In the videos he also mentions that he’s on his way to get a gun and go back. In a follow-up, he says the shooter has been caught and there’s nothing else he can do.
Dakota Meyer, the second youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, and husband to Bristol Palin, had the following to say:
But Afghanistan veteran Dakota Meyer, who is married to Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, says that when faced with real danger, Bilzerian simply ran away.
Meyer’s attack came after Bilzerian posted a video, in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, of himself fleeing the carnage at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, where he claimed to have seen a girl ‘get shot in the head’.
‘This is what kills me about people like you,’ Meyer wrote on Instagram, tagging Blizerian, early on Monday morning.
‘Always playing ‘operator dress up’ and so, so tough when the cameras are on.
A woman just got shot in the head and you are running away filming that’s not what operators do. Please stop trying to be someone your not. People are dying, you’re running away not helping them and pretending it’s worthy of a video is disgusting.
‘This is why children shouldn’t classify heroes by their followers or their photos.’
Meyer is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on September 8, 2009, in Afghanistan – becoming the second youngest, living Medal of Honor recipient.
