In reply to the discussion: "A drag dancer stomped on the gunman with her high heels." edited 11/23/22 [View all]ShazzieB
(22,624 posts)36. Well, she DID have some help from Mr. Fierro! 😉
I mean, hell yes, that drag queen is awesome! But Fierro already had the punk down on the floor when she came over to help.
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.
*snip*
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.

Fierro acted instinctively, due to his military training. That drag queen showed a lot of guts, joining in.

OP
Having to suffer real pain and physical trauma is probably the last thing he expected

I hope he's in a great deal of pain right now and every blow from the stiletto heels excruciating

Does he have ex-combat buddies? They could incorporate as a security service!

He knew it was there and, given the asshole's height of 6' 8", probably used some leverage.

I hope he gets a medal, or some sort of official recognition of his bravery.
