Rightwingers Attack Veteran Who Tackled Club Q Shooter, Just Because He Was At A Gay Club

"They’re straight up villainizing a combat vet for stopping a mass shooting"

God
@Saralily24 @godpod crazy eyes looking baby, but can we not start that thing where people just post irrelevant things to posts? 🙏
@godpod He blasphemed against a gun and that's something their faith cannot allow.

@Lundemo @godpod

Indeed, if he'd have been carrying a gun they'd have gone easy on him.

"Look, told you the solution to guns is more guns!"

@godpod and the shooter's father expressed relief that whilst his son was at the gay club he isn't gay, just a murderer.

Nothing makes even the slightest sense

@EmmaDingle @godpod Is that the video I keep seeing of the leather-skinned, jutting-mandible, gibbering brushcut being interviewed in a driveway?

That guy looks like he’d piss in a sink because he didn’t know what “lavatory” means on the adjacent doors?

@kwanza @godpod I saw the video on silent do the rounds on the Birdsite which is where I learned it from.
Terrifying world view.
@EmmaDingle @godpod But it does make sense, they are not good people.
@joon @godpod but the reason they are like this is because they truly believe with every inch of their being that they are the "good ones" fighting against "evil". "Evil" being the rest of us.
@EmmaDingle @joon @godpod I honestly sometimes wonder. I think they genuinely know they are rotten bastards but just don’t care.
@tsumami @joon @godpod there's definitely some folk who simply enjoy chaos, others think joy is finite so if you're happy they think they're losing and therefore must do something to stop it. Humans are fricking bizarre
@tsumami @EmmaDingle @joon @godpod it also gives them an unbelievable superiority rush; I know this because my brother is a far-right Mormon and he honestly treats the rest of us like idiots and trash. (He couldn’t even be bothered to call our mom for two months, until she eventually called him for Thanksgiving the other day. He and I used to be close, but when I refused to convert, BOOM!
@macgowans @tsumami @joon @godpod
I know of one British evangelical someone I used to work with. We get on very well in the work environment, but when we get to talking about beliefs or queer people it quickly diverges as they are so confident and unshaking in their beliefs of what is right and wrong (cos their bible says so) it's quite unnerving.

@EmmaDingle @joon @godpod that’s what they want you to believe & some are very good actors. Don’t believe it. It’s all..ALL,, about power.

Betsy@deVos, for example, was Secretary of Educatkonwith zero experience..but very wealthy. BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars associated with public education. They want it.

Many other examples.

@usanchor @joon @godpod
I absolutely understand that some are very intentional and know what they're doing. I also understand that many people will follow what they think is right with very little critical thought. Both are equally dangerous to the rest of us.

@EmmaDingle @joon @godpod yes Emma.. This isn’t the first time that people in power .. people in TRUSTED POSITIONS- take advantage of that relationship & authority for personal gain.

The most trusted? Religious leaders… of all sects & faiths.

@EmmaDingle @godpod it makes perfect sense if you consider the source lol
@EmmaDingle
So being a deranged psychopath is ok, but having a different view of gender is not. To pseudo-quote the Joker; This country needs an enema.
@godpod @BlueDotInFL
@godpod I was waiting for this. I was wondering when the Right would start screaming about how the veteran interfered with the shooter’s 2nd Amendment rights.
@godpod Or saying the shooter was just practicing self-defense like poor #KyleRittenhouse.
@godpod yeah, we know who they really are underneath all their bravado about being good christians.
@godpod Being attacked by moron bigots is a badge of honor.
@godpod hey imagine being all "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" then when a good guy stops a bad guy shooting up a gay bar you attack them for doing that.
@godpod so was the shooter. His fucking dad was more worried his son was gay than that he murdered 5 people.
@godpod Right wingers have no Class whatsoever. It’s Disgusting
@godpod showing everyone their true colors.
@godpod there is absolutely no depth they won’t stoop to.

@godpod Yes, sickening. I've heard that reaction several times already here in West Virginia, "He shouldn't have been in a gay bar," completely dismissing the fact that human beings were murdered in cold blood.

It's a very sick society we've got here and it can't be fixed in less than generations of time.

@godpod So when's the next flood? Thinking we could use one.
@godpod can’t you … do something about this?
@godpod of course. The despicable hate decency
@godpod sickening. absolutely sickening that a hero is being attacked for simply being at a gay club. He took down a mass shooter, he fought for your freedom and he took down a deranged killer to save others. We should all STRIVE TO BE MORE LIKE THIS MAN.
@godpod we all know this but I just gotta say it - the Republican Party is broken. And their low is lower than anyone could have imagined - and they still haven’t reached it.
@godpod they better not. That man is loved by most. What a true American hero.
@godpod he should know there are plenty more of us who praise him for being there
@godpod
Richard M Fierro was the unarmed hero who acted to take down the shooter. Say his name! Remember him!
@godpod republicans won't even lift a finger to stop mass shootings but they are mad at the guy who took the shooter down without killing him. They are just mad he stopped the shooter from killing more of us!

@godpod I remember Daniel Craig on a late show talking about preferring gay bars because they (usually) don't have the toxic masculinity of regular establishments. He wants to go out and have a drink, not get in a fight, and the best place to do that is a gay bar.

James Bond loves gay bars and so should everyone else.

@godpod

Uhhhh, was he verbally attack or physically attacked….
….or worse, both?

@godpod I'm not shocked by the right-wing anymore. I' m just dead set against them and their bullshit.
