A military veteran praying at the Chabad of Poway just north of San Diego on during the shooting attack Saturday was instrumental in putting an end to the deadly attack which left one member of the congregation dead and three more wounded.
When 19-year-old John T. Earnest opened fire on worshippers at the Chabad of Poway Saturday, 51-year-old Oscar Stewart, a veteran of both the US Army and Navy, dashed to the synagogue foyer and charged Earnest, forcing him to flee the scene – effectively ending the attack.
Earnest, who according to an online manifesto published in his name just before the attack accused Jews of plotting the genocide of “the European race”, burst into the synagogue during Sabbath prayer services Saturday morning and opened fire.
First hit was 60-year-old Lori Gilbert Kaye, a woman described by the congregation’s leader Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein as an “activist” who was heavily involved in the establishment of the synagogue. Kaye was fatally wounded in the attack, and was pronounced dead after being evacuated to a local hospital.
Three others, including Rabbi Goldstein, were also wounded in the attack. Rabbi Goldstein, who struggled with Earnest and attempted to pull the gun away from the shooter, lost two of his fingers during the shooting.
The rampage finally ended when Stewart charged the gunman, screaming so loud witnesses say it sounded like a “chorus of four or five men” – a sound so loud a priest at a nearby church heard it.
.....
“Get down!” Stewart screamed. “I’m going to kill you!”
Stewart says he “scared the hell” out of the shooter, forcing him to flee.

To bad CA disarms hero’s like Mr. Stewart.
Terroristic threat charges pending.
Reportedly, the rifle jammed and then the vet didn’t hesitate.
A Border Patrol agent shit two rounds at the cold blooded nmurderer’s car.
Bttt
Not to detract from Stewart’s heroism but to note that the press wants to do anything it can to hide any benefit of armed responders.
No question. The Jewish good man with a gun stops killer would be a front page story under different circumstances.
What caused the evil lunatic to flee was the “voice” of a border agents service weapon.
Mr.Stewart,
Thank You!
It’s for his own good./sarc
If only heroes have guns, only guns will be heroes./double sarc

The way MSM radio and print sources is picking up and spinning the third paragraph in Rosenberg’s report is by connecting this wacko’s reasoning to Trump and “White Nationalism”. When it could and should be connected to the continuing attacks on Jews by Islamic and certain glowbullist sources.
Ping!
Typo of the year
Reminds me of that child's game "Telephone" where you sit ten kids in a circle and the first kid gives a message to the next and the message passes around the circle ultimately coming out far different from the original message.
So first the Rabbi turned to see the gunman looking at him and he threw his hands up to plead with the guy to stop and the guy blew his fingers off.
Then, the next story, the gunman shot the Rabbi's fingers off and then turned and shot the woman.
Story three... The woman dove in front of the Rabbi to protect him, taking a bullet and saving his life.
Four... The Rabbi "struggled" with the shooter, trying to get the gun and subsequently had his fingers blown off.
Five... TBD
They are certain glowbullist sources. Or Perhaps they’re like dogs, responding to key words like “walk” and “food” automatically.
Sounds like a bunch of people said “oh, hell no!” and took action. They didn’t act like scared sheep and that’s what saved the congregation.
This perp was a real piece of work. Have they said yet whose gun he used?
