Stephen Willeford: Good Man With a Firearm

On Monday, Steven Crowder interviewed Stephen Willeford, the man who got his gun, shot at, and pursued the killer responsible for the carnage at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Willeford tells his story:



Thank God Willeford, a good man with a gun, was there to respond and confront the evil in his beloved small town.

Crowder allows Willeford to relay what happened, without constantly interrupting him. It's an excellent interview.

Mass Shooters: Guns and Males

There are only two nearly universal characteristics of mass shooters: They're men and they use guns https://t.co/lEXlpThKwE

This is an accurate response:

Michael McKean and Wil Wheaton Attack Paul Ryan

In the face of the horror at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, you'd think acknowledging that the people there were in need of our prayers wouldn't spark an outpouring of ugliness.

Reports out of Texas are devastating. The people of Sutherland Springs need our prayers right now.

— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) November 5, 2017

People who pray and their offerings of prayers were mocked and rejected by the likes of Wil Wheaton and Michael McKean and so many other Lertists.

The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of shit. https://t.co/iGHxPrYrLN

— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) November 5, 2017

They were in church. They had the prayers shot right out of them. Maybe try something else.

Horrible.

The Hollywood Leftists have so much hate. They are the bitterest of clingers.

From FOX News:

The gunman suspected of opening fire at a church in Texas on Sunday has been identified to Fox News as 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley.

...The gunman previously served in the U.S. Air Force, an Air Force spokesperson confirmed to Fox News. Kelley served at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014.

He was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his wife and his child. Kelley received a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force, in addition to confinement for 12 months and was reduced in rank.

Kelley worked as a security guard for a Texas waterpark this past summer, according to a resume under his name that appears online.

Investigators said Kelley didn't appear to be connected to any organized terrorist groups.

The suspect, who is believed to be from New Braunfels, a suburb outside San Antonio, was found dead in his car after he sped away from the scene of the shooting. Officials said it remained unclear whether he was shot dead by police or an armed nearby resident, or if he died from a self-inflicted wound.

Ridiucling Thoughts and Prayers After Tragedy

In the face of the mass shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, some Americans first offered their prayers for the victims.

Such expressions were ridiculed by Leftists and others in the anti-Trump, anti-faith contingent.

Thoughts & prayers are not enough, GOP. We must end this violence. We must stop these tragedies. People are dying while you wait.

— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) November 5, 2017

Defending "Allahu Akbar " while ridiculing "Thoughts and Prayers" should win back that giant chunk of middle America liberals have lost.

— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 6, 2017

It is interesting that those citing the beauty of "Allahu Akbar" often mock the significance of offering thoughts and prayers.

People are massacred at a church and the hard core left's first reaction is to insult prayer? Solid thinking, guys.

You are completely wrong. The facts: a gun owner with a legally registered weapon stopped a killer who was using weapons barred by law. https://t.co/RslnZrCZNP

Walking into a church service and gunning down the congregation is evil.

So many innocents were killed in their place of worship today. It's horrific.

I'm dreading the usual screaming about gun control and gun rights that is sure to follow. Outrage over calls for prayers will come, too.

Respond how you must.

I'm going to pray.
