Colorado Springs LGBT Nightclub Shooting; At Least 5 Dead, 18 Injured

[Cow Poke]

It was something about the way you phrased your initial comment.

No, it was the way you read into it something that wasn't there.

Once you, or we, take responsibility for our own words and give a little thought to the people who are hurt by them, we good men and women will moderate ourselves.

So, the classic - smart people should shut up so stupid people aren't offended.

Not forgetting that the beliefs of various posters to these boards hold that those five dead in Colorado are now being eternally sizzled on the devil's gridirons. So for such contributors it is another five perverts getting their eternal just deserts.

None of the posters here that believe in Hell seem to be delighting in the dead being in Hell. So why make a mockery of the dead to score points?

I don't believe that any of us would claim that simply being at a gay club sends one to hell.

You never fail to reveal what sick reprobate you can be.

If that's the case, Bernie has Steve Scalise's blood on his hands. The guy specifically targeted Republicans for being Republican.

You can't point to anything Bernie said as incitement. Bernie's rhetoric has always been anti violence.

Whereas, Tucker Carlson clearly incites the violence regularly:

So glad to hear that the people fought back instead of just cowing

A couple of gay bar occupants had more courage than 376 Texas law enforcement personnel in Uvalde? Checks out.

Helps me understand why Cow Poke sometimes expresses concern about men not being manly enough, as it's clearly a problem in his part of the country.

Reporting the factual sexualisation of children by the left doesn't entail the advocation of violence. No where have you cited a call to violence.

Dumb on so many levels.

I would class "fight back... no matter what the law says" as a fairly direct call to violence.

That's no different in general than a call to civil disobedience. It does not necessitate murder.

You're think more of the phrase "fight them in the streets" a la Harris.

Ah, you're reverting to the stereotypical "limp wristed" gay man? Shame on you.

Uvalde is hardly "my part of the country".

It's okay to insult homosexuals if it's to own the cons.

[Cow Poke]

Kinda like playing the gender card because a female comes into a discussion with a bunch of guys, and we can't 'fight back' because she's a girl. So much for equality.

It was basically one retired Army major, combat vet, who was there with his wife and daughter. He took the pistol away and beat him with it. Others jumped in after the fact.

Army Veteran Went Into ‘Combat Mode’ to Disarm the Club Q Gunman

Richard M. Fierro, who served for 15 years in the military, was at the nightclub in Colorado Springs with his family when the gunman opened fire. “I just knew I had to take him down,” he said.

COLORADO SPRINGS — Richard M. Fierro was at a table in Club Q with his wife, daughter and friends on Saturday, watching a drag show, when the sudden flash of gunfire ripped across the nightclub and instincts forged during four combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan instantly kicked in. Fight back, he told himself, protect your people.

In an interview at his house on Monday, where his wife and daughter were still recovering from injuries, Mr. Fierro, 45, who spent 15 years as an Army officer and left as a major in 2013, according to military records, described charging through the chaos at the club, tackling the gunman and beating him bloody with the gunman’s own gun.

“I don’t know exactly what I did, I just went into combat mode,” Mr. Fierro said, shaking his head as he stood in his driveway, an American flag hanging limp in the freezing air. “I just know I have to kill this guy before he kills us.”
