Not only that, but he and his wife own a brewery, and his wife is the brewmaster.

Odd, I wouldn’t go, but that’s me.

[Bikkuri]

Very good point.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Well, I can remember going down to NYC one cold November evening with two other couples to watch the Rocky Horror Show. All of us were straight arrow - we just thought it was a cute comedy.

[EEGator]

I hate NYC. (All cities really)

Back in the day, house parties or drunken bonfires were our thing.
To each his own.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

… with his wife, daughter and friends…

Family night at the pervert bar. Crazy.

[Izzatso]

The guy did four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Rummyfan]

Regardless, if the report is accurate kudos to him for taking the shooter down before he killed even more people.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The shooter had 2 firearms.

[doorgunner69]

Doing, what?

[Round Earther]

“The guy did four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

One tough dude and took out some stress beating the shooter to a bloody pulp.

[Izzatso]

I read the police initially cuffed him and put him in the back of a cruiser for about an hour, all while he was trying to find out if his wife and daughter were okay.

Yes many straight people go to drag shows never been and never will

[Izzatso]

OP article states: "...spent 15 years as an Army officer and left as a major in 2013"... "In Iraq and Afghanistan he’d been shot at, seen roadside bombs shred trucks in his platoon, and lost friends. He was twice awarded the Bronze Star."

What is wrong with this picture...

America has a broken soul?

the Rocky Horror Show

I still remember the night (back in high school) a few friends dragged me to see that show. I had no idea what it was about, and I was completely horrified and disgusted. But, my friends and everyone else were laughing it up, throwing toilet paper and yelling at the screen.

Yeah, everyone is different. The veteran and his family went to the club for a friend's birthday. Maybe the friend is "gay," or maybe they went there for a laugh, or maybe the food is good.

[usurper]

Good thing he was there

I agree, apparently the equity and CRT training he received did not take.

[Izzatso]

Not only that, but he and his wife own a brewery, and his wife is the brewmaster.

And their daughter works there brewing and serving beer. So, not a kid.

Back in the day, house parties or drunken bonfires were our thing.

No need to stop now, there still fun.

[FlyingEagle]

Watching a drag show with daughter.

What could possibly motivate untethered shooter? Hmmm?
