Reply to comment by therealsunshinem81 in Amazing quote from Richard M. Fierro, the Club Q hero that probably saved dozens of lives by Oh-God-Its-Kale
Fierro will go in the books as a hero in the LGBTQ. As a gay man, it’s a bit of light in the dark knowing there are people like him willing to put their lives before others, especially for the marginalized community.
This was such a good read.

Agreed. Dude fought for the freedom of his fellow Americans. He meant ALL of them. Glad to see it.

I fear for the guy tough, he had massive ptsd because of war and after this...Hope it´s all fine with him and his family.

Thankfully I never suffered from PTSD but some weird part of me thinks this was somewhat cathartic for him. His actions meant something, directly and with violence of action that had a clear goal, stopping the madness that had ensued. No one should be put in that position but I for one am glad he was there and his actions prevented a greater tragedy.
Edit “I”

“ The wars were both past and still present. There were things he would never forget. For a long time after coming home, crowds put him on edge. He couldn’t help to be vigilant. In restaurants he sat against the wall, facing the door. No matter how much he tried to relax, part of him was always ready for an attack, like an itch that could not be scratched.”
His words, i hope he´s ok and some part of him can turn over this. He was just having fun with his family and to have his worst fears turn into reality is something that i can´t even think about!

His family is mostly okay, but his daughters long-time boyfriend unfortunately died in the attack. :/

And he's really hurting about it. The interview with John Berman on AC360 was heart-wrenching. It's such a tragedy on all levels. I feel sad for the country, not dealing with its issues proactively and like an extended family, which is what we are.

Here here! Last night I watched a short interview with him and he just seemed so sincere, yet exasperated by the state of this country. As far as I’m concerned he’s an amazing individual and a real hero. Some jerk in the comments on YouTube said, “ Finally something positive on the news.” They were referring to the shooting though, not him. I commented saying, among other things, that he needed help and he said my comment was “assuming things” and that it had been “ratio’d and tossed among the sand dunes.” Idk wtf that’s supposed to mean, but I’m tired and done with this shit. Fucking Marjorie Taylor Greene, a blight on my state, tryna bitch about an assault rifle ban, man fuck her. If I ever saw her in person, I just don’t know… Any who sorry for rambling lol but I agree with ya man!!!
