On Sunday evening, 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken courageously intervened in a mass shooting at the Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana, killing the perpetrator within fifteen seconds of the first shots being fired.

Three people were killed and two were injured by the mass shooter before Dicken acted, saving countless lives by striking the perpetrator from 40 yards, with eight of the ten shots fired hitting the perpetrator.

Without any doubt, Elisjsha Dicken is a hero — so why haven’t President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris rushed to congratulate the young man who prevented further carnage?

After all, they’re more than happy to travel to embrace others. Take Jacob Blake, for example. After he was shot by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in September 2020, Biden responded publicly, saying, “What I saw in that video makes me sick,” and “once again, a black man — Blake – has been shot by the police in broad daylight with the whole world watching.”

Later that week, both Biden and Harris spoke with Blake’s family, with Blake’s father saying the conversation was “like I was speaking to my uncle and one of my sisters.”

Kamala Harris even reportedly told Jacob Blake himself that she was “proud of him.”
