Support for Mr. Walton

#1

Post by flintknapper »

By now... we are all aware of the story about the gentleman who defended himself and his property in Dallas. Also, the Fox news reporter that pretty much "ambushed" him.

If you feel strongly about this issue, I would like to invite you to join me in financially and symbolically supporting Mr. Walton.

Please take a moment to mail a letter of support, and perhaps a small check ($5-$10) to help pay for his new shotgun.

I think he needs to know that many of us support his actions and realize the emotional issues involved in the aftermath.

Keep him in your prayers.

Here is his address:

Able Walton Machine & Welding
2007 Chalk Hill Rd
Dallas, TX 75212


His name is: James Walton.



Flint.

Thats a great idea...I think it would bode well to prove to him he's got a lot of support in this time of stress in his life...

Any word/speculation on the progress or update of the GJ in his "cases"???

I just returned from the post office, my letter and check are on their way.

It is a small/easy thing to do and it might help him to know that others support him.

Undoubtedly, he suffered emotional stress from these events. He was quickly brought to tears by the questions posed by the reporter.

I hope this will not affect his ability to "act" in the future if the need should arise.

Thanks for taking the time guys.

I am sure it will mean a lot to Mr Walton, to know that others are thinking of him.

As mentioned in the other thread I will be sending a check and supportive letter in the morning.

Thanks for starting this Flintknapper. Wonderful idea!

If one or more of us get a chance, I'm adding the URL to this website so he could choose to join in and participate...

He certainly can choose to remain anonymous, and should, until all the GJ stuff is out of the way...

Just another idea...

I'll be sending him a letter and donation tomorrow. Great idea.

Also if Fox doesn't say something soon we may need to get a list of their sponsors and express our displeasure.

What would you want them to say. They did fire the reporter. That is quite a statement in itself. Its become a personell issue now.
