‘Make sure your vote is on target’: Man who stopped Texas church shooter is running for office
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 12/30/2019 8:54:24 AM PST by springwater13

The man who fired back and saved the lives of his fellow churchgoers in Texas is running for office with the campaign slogan: “Make sure your vote is on target.”

Jack Wilson, 71, shot and killed a gunman who opened fire in West Freeway Church of Christ in Tarrant County, near Fort Worth, Texas. Wilson was on duty as the volunteer security officer at the time of the shooting. He drew his weapon and killed the assailant within seconds.

Wilson’s aim wasn’t surprising, given his background. He was president of On Target Firearms Training Academy until 2016, worked as a deputy sheriff, and is currently running to be a county commissioner for the third precinct.

Wilson is running for commissioner on a conservative platform. He has also made his support for President Trump clear, writing, “I totally stand by President Trump. Please be sure you are registered to vote and please vote. The survival of the USA is in the balance in 2020!!!”

If you watch through, there is a second zoomed repeat of the video.

I’d vote for him.

Trump should create a cabinet post for him. Secretary of Trolling Liberals.

President Trump needs to bring him to the White House, present him a medal, and promote his political campaign.

All win-win moves for his campaign.

To top it off, give him credentials as federal Mashall, as is available to all Congresscritters.

Sad that innocents were killed. The POS deserved to die, and gets no sympathy from me.

Never forget: democrats don’t want us to be able to protect ourselves. But they have armed guards.

From his website:
“All members of the House &/or Senate that support illegal aliens over US Citizens are in violation of their Oath of Office and should therefore be REMOVED FROM OFFICE. IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AMEN!

Micro Rubio and Flimsey Grahamnesty top that list.

Trump is usually the master of the OODA loop, but it’s been over 24 hours and still not a single tweet or comment about it.

It helps to have people in your church that are exceptionally skilled in a service. It can be plumbing or roofing or cooking. In this case, it was security. Have some steely-eyed ol’ cuss who is willing to sit in the back of a church like Dirty Harry and blow the brains out of anyone ready to take the Room Temperature Challenge. Nice to have a guy like that around.

I do hope the elders at least buy him dinner.

“..one in New York”

Jack Wilson is a conservative with a long history of supporting both the Second Amendment and President Trump. From what I have been able to gather, he is running to fill the seat of a Republican commissioner who is not running for re-election. I have not been able to find anything yet on the democrat candidate that he is running against.

In Texas, counties are divided into for precincts, with each precinct electing a commissioner. The four commissioners plus the county judge (who is elected at large) constitute the County Commissioners Court, which is essentially the governing body of the county government.

You are right.

After the terrorist attack on Saturday, we knew the attacker’s name right away, but with this terrorist attack in Texas, we know nothing about the terrorist.

Why hasn’t the shooter’s identity been disclosed? There is really a lack of information on this case. Youtube is even trying to do everything possible to censor the video.
