Back at the end of June, a shooter opened fire outside a church in Michigan.
He was quickly subdued by church employees, including a deacon who hit the gunman with his truck.
Now the deacon is getting a new truck, courtesy a local dealership:

A Michigan deacon who used his pickup truck to stop an armed gunman outside a church last month received a new Ford F-150 from a local dealership on Thursday.
Deacon Richard Pryor was presented with the vehicle at a Ford dealership in Wayne, Michigan, replacing the truck he used to help prevent what police called a potential 'large-scale mass shooting' at CrossPointe Community Church on June 22.
'I'm nervous but excited,' Pryor said during a press conference at the dealership. 'I'm just so thankful for everybody's support, for everyone who reached out after the events that Sunday. Everything that transpired afterwards was unexpected, but I'm very grateful.'
We're surprised Rep. Shri Thanedar didn't call for common-sense truck control, too.
Great brand awareness — and well deserved for the hero.

This is how you do it, companies.
Now this is a good story.

Yes, it is.
Why are the leftists attacking churches?

Because Democrats have called us white supremacist domestic terrorists for years.
Oh thank god. I thought you were going to say he was arrested for doing that.

Would any of us be surprised if he had been?
No.
Thankfully, the good guys won this round.
King. This is what real manhood looks like. https://t.co/urO7wPwFid
