Reply to comment by Eilanzer in Amazing quote from Richard M. Fierro, the Club Q hero that probably saved dozens of lives by Oh-God-Its-Kale

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!
