Quoted: Richard M. Fierro said he 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. His instincts from four combat deployments as an Army officer in Iraq and Afghanistan instantly kicked in. Fight back, he told himself. https://dnyuz.com/2022/11/21/an-army-veteran-says-he-went-into-combat-mode-to-disarm-the-gunman/ View Quote Him and his wife own a Latino-themed brewery in town. I'm sure they will see a huge increase in business from this. Good on him for his quick actions, bravery, and heroism. |

Quoted: I’ll betcha a nickel his wife and adult daughter wanted to go because stupid silly girl shit, and he begrudgingly got dragged along, and thought fuck it I’ll just sit in the corner and drink beer. And as it turns out, he ended up being the hero - an unarmed man with bigger balls than most of GD who beat the fuck out of a mass murderer with his own gun.

Quoted: Not sure why it is heroic that a man risk his life for his own life, his wife, and his child. I am more concerned about the immorality of a parent normalizing child drag shows. On any given day, one can find a Tibetan Yack who will go head to head with another Yack, and one must die. View Quote Welcome back. |

Quoted: Wrong. Veteran hero. Wtf . Hit the shooter repeatedly with his own gun. I'm starting to understand why some take a break from gd. View Quote Agree: In one thread you have these drag shows being grooming things, with sex offender participants and wanting to normalize kids and sex. Then in another thread, you get people cheering on the groomers from saving the drag queens who want to normalize kids and sex. |

Quoted: And just like that GD supports drag shows View Quote Meh, they're funny. I don't know how much they've changed, but the ones I saw were almost G-rated, well, PG-rated. The drag show in "The Birdcage"? Exactly like the ones I saw. Nowadays, there's probably twerking, bared genitalia, simulated (or not) sex acts, etc. |

Quoted: 53 here and all but one of my four kids are over 21. View Quote Ex wife didn’t want to have another kid for a looooong time because she blamed my son for affecting her body / looks as her stellar 36Cs slightly changed shape and got more of a reverse tear drop shape instead of full perky round plus her belly button got tweaked. To be fair my Mom said the same thing about me but because of stretch marks. |

Quoted: Not sure why it is heroic that a man risk his life for his own life, his wife, and his child... View Quote LOL I'm not sure you understand mass shootings. His wife and child were as much potential victims as everyone else being shot. Also, innocent people were being murdered in front of him. Some people feel driven to move to the sound of gunfire to protect the innocent. By the way, just to muddy the waters even more, there was an "All Ages Drag Brunch" scheduled the day after the drag show... |

Quoted: Every basic B white chick? They go to drag shows similar to how they'd go to Chippendales or Mardi Gras. It's cartoonish, not something that turns them on. It's not exactly like guys going to a strip club. Not something I want to see, but it's also not inherently a sign of sexual proclivities, either. Just dumb gals doing cornball provocative stuff. To be clear, people who take minors to this kind of thing are disgusting. But young adults do this and other stupider stuff for reasons other than sexual interest. View Quote Yep. It's more common than many of these posters realize, obviously. My wife goes to "drag queen bingo" with her married friends. They find it fun. I think it's stupid, and kind of gross. So, I don't and wouldn't go(it's catered to women anyways, they give away purses etc). But if she wants to, have at it... I also don't control my wife, which is also probably something that confuses GD. It isn't a place for minors, and she agrees with me in that regard. |

How many of you heroes would have made a move on the gunman, unarmed?
Assuming the shooting went down in your Golden Corral. That should be far enough away from any drag shows for most of GD. |

Quoted: Dunno why this has to be black or white. That he’s either a barrel-chested hero or an absolute degenerate malcontent. People are multidimensional. He can be a total hero yet still make very questionable parenting choices.

Quoted: Child? WTF, any strip/burlesque show is nowhere for a minor. View Quote 45, so possible daughter was an adult but far from certain. If his daughter is a minor he's a piece of shit regardless of stopping the killer, and even if she's an adult it's pretty questionable to attend something like that with her (and I've been to a heterosexual, legal aged hooker bar in Bangkok with my dad but yes it's different). |

Once you realize a significant percentage of GD is autistic, involuntarily celibate, or lives in their mother’s basement, these threads will make sense. Dollars to donuts his wife and adult daughter dragged him there because it would be a funny/goofy night out, and has absolutely nothing to do with child grooming or pedophilia or whatever else the outrage du jour is. |

Made a decision, executed and followed through until the fight ended. Under insane pressure, threat of death and sensory overload? Dude sounds like a legit badass and hero.

FWIW-
In September of 2001 a buddy sent myself and my wife to Vegas for 5 days as a Thank You for our making his house wheelchair accessible. He had been made a paraplegic in May of 2001 due to a motorcycle accident. We stayed at the Riviera and as part of the hotel package we had tickets to the shows there. One of the shows was “La Cage”, a female impersonator show. Cher, Joan Rivers, Whitney Houston, Bette Midler and a couple of others were the subjects of it. It was a funny as hell show and the wife and I had a blast, I think it was the best show we saw there. I toss that out there for the “What the hell was he doing there with his wife crowd?” to chew on a bit. Oddly we got home at 10pm, 9-10-01. |

Army veteran recounts subduing gunman at Colorado LGBTQ club COLORADO SPRINGS — Richard Fierro went to Club Q in Colorado Springs on Saturday night to celebrate a friend’s birthday with his family, enjoying a drag show that included a performance by his 22-year-old daughter’s best friend. By night’s end, the air of celebration would be cut off by gunfire. Three of Fierro’s loved ones would be shot — one fatally — and Fierro, a U.S. Army veteran, would find himself rushing to confront and subdue the gunman . . . |
