Decorated War Veteran Slams Poker's Dan Bilzerian For Running Away From Vegas Massacre SceneBilzerian Says He 'Just Wanted To Do The Right Thing' |

A United States Medal of Honor recipient and member of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s family has publicly called out high-stakes poker player and controversial Instagram king Dan Bilzerian.
Bilzerian was one of the more than 20,000 people at the scene of Sunday night’s massacre on the Las Vegas Strip, and he posted a short video of him fleeing the scene after apparently witnessing the death of a woman near him. Fifty nine people lost their lives.
The video has caught the attention of Dakota Meyer, husband to Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol.
“This is why children shouldn’t classify heroes by their followers or their photos,” Meyer wrote on Instagram. “@danbilzerian this is what kills me about people like you. 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 you’re not. People are dying, you’re running away not helping them and pretending it’s worthy of a video is disgusting.”
Perhaps unbeknownst to Meyer, People.com reported that Bilzerian returned to the scene later with a weapon but by then police already had the scene under control. He reportedly had taken an injured woman to the hospital as he was leaving.
“I don’t think it was heroic at all,” Bilzerian said. “I just wanted to do the right thing.”
Bilzerian, who posts photos of his weapons collection to his social media accounts, nearly completed Navy Seal training years ago but he didn’t finish.
