ARMY VET WHO TACKLED NIGHTCLUB SHOOTER GETS SWAMPED BY ONLINE SUPPORT

November 22, 2022 ·Jenna Biter

Just before midnight on Saturday, a 22-year-old man dressed in body armor and carrying a rifle and pistol entered Club Q in Colorado Springs and started shooting.

That’s when Richard Fierro, a 45-year-old former artillery soldier, jumped into action. “I don’t know exactly what I did, I just went into combat mode,” Fierro told The New York Times in an interview Monday, Nov. 21. “I just know I have to kill this guy before he kills us.”

Police said Fierro disarmed the suspect, stopping the shooting spree. The gunman still shot and killed five and injured 18 before Fierro and others reached him.

Colorado Springs police identified Fierro and Thomas James as “two people whose heroic actions stopped the suspect and saved lives.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

No, I would not be a patron of that establishment, nor do I condone in any way their "family" activities, but going up against an active shooter still takes guts.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
