This guy is a hero. A combat Army veteran officer tackled and beat the armed 6'3, 300-pound Club Q mass shooter with the killer's own pistol. The mass shooter was also stomped into submission by a drag performer wearing high heels.
"When the shooting started, Mr. Fierro said, he hit the floor, pulling a friend down with him. As bullets sprayed, he saw the gunman move through the bar toward a door leading to a patio where dozens of bar patrons had fled. Mr. Fierro, who served in the Army for 15 years, said he raced across the room, grabbed the gunman by a handle on the back of his body armor, pulled him to the floor and jumped on top of him."
"As the fight continued, he said, he yelled for other club patrons to help him. A man grabbed the rifle and moved it away to safety. A drag dancer stomped on the gunman with her high heels. The whole time, Mr. Fierro said, he kept pummeling the shooters head while the two men screamed obscenities at each other."
Thank you, Maj. Richard M. Fierro.
By the way, you can order stuff from Maj. Fierro's brewery business to show your appreciation. I ordered three t-shirts for under $40 (shipping included).

(12,587 posts)Just take them out. Tired of the nonstop coverage they get with their useless trial. Then we spend millions on them & they get letters from people who think they're a hero. If they always die its not nearly as attractive. Its what they deserve anyway

(17,011 posts)I looked at a couple of the shirts, and all of the choices were grayed out.
I'll bookmark the link and try when things settle down.
If someone else has luck, please let me know and I'll delete my discouraging post.

He deserves recognition for his actions.

(366 posts)That's a "fist" that has punched exactly nothing. Ever.
Look at pics of his "right on" fist pump.
If he actually punched something with that claw, he'd break his thumb.
