Today's episode is a re-broadcast of the live interview I did with army veteran Oscar Stewart, the Protector of Poway Chabad at a Shul Safety Team Officer event in Chicago sponsored by the Concerned Citizen's League. 

When the shooting started in Poway that Passover, chaos erupted, and human instincts kicked in.  As an army veteran, he knew what he had to do, and didn't think twice.  Oscar did two tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and his training prepared him as he ran into the line of fire.

Stewart emphasized the importance of training repeatedly until the responses to a situation become instinctual.  

"Whatever it was that moved through him at that moment, it propelled Stewart into the lobby. He saw the young man — who authorities say was 19-year-old John T. Earnest — in a military-style vest wielding a semiautomatic rifle."

“Get down!” Stewart yelled in the loudest tenor he could muster.

The gunman fired two more rounds in response.

“I’m going to kill you,” Stewart boomed. This seemed to rattle Earnest, who began to flee.  Fight like you train today of the Better Call Daddy Show: The Safe Space For Controversy!  Violence and anti-semitism is unacceptable and effects the entire community!
