The courageous father who was wounded while protecting his three young children when shots were fired at a New York City car dealership has lost both his jobs due to his injuries. Earlier this week, Anthony Jefferson was praised as a hero for taking a bullet in his thigh while protecting his children from gunfire that erupted at On The Road Automotive in the Bronx. He was at the dealership that evening shopping for a vehicle to surprise his wife, Danica Jefferson, for her birthday. Anthony's already been discharged from a local hospital, but he's lost his two jobs
Perhaps instead of illegally buying felons' votes in Florida, Doomberg could use some of his billion$ helping this man out? Nah, that's not what leftists do.

The AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT states that a person is qualitified for the job if he can do the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation.
It's the law of the land.

I see there’s a GoFundMe. Hopefully it’ll be enough until he completely recovers.

Utterly disgusting. And it took a British news outlet to make us aware because our msm wouldn't and couldn't.

Need to name the companies he worked for. Should shame them - but probably won't.

According to the Daily News article linked in this article, Jefferson’s bullet came from the gang member who was inside the dealership, the target of the shooters who came in through the shot-out door. The gang member (could be the man in the tan pants in photo) pulled a gun out of his sling and shot at his attackers. Some of his bullets hit the blue couch and Mr. Jefferson - could have wounded or killed the kids.

Re #2, Mr. Jefferson was a painter and construction worker.

The Go Fund Me site is https://www.gofundme.com/f/heroic-dad-shields-kids-from-being-shot-at-car They have already raised $64,000. What a great dad, risking his life for his kids instead of deserting them like too many dads do.

If only he were a pimp, Seattle would give him a starting pay of $150,000.
That will teach you to be a non-gay, non-trans, non-criminal, loving father in the USA in 2020.

Yes #4, its because the Daily Mail wants to bash America as heartless under Trump. They should be doing the huge story of “Asian” illegals pouring across the Channel being put up in nice hotels across southern England. Check out Nigel Farange’s you tube on scene nearly daily reports for more information.
A great thing about this story is now the GoFundMe should explode with donations. I hope the PC patrol does not shut it down. This man deserves all help possible.

Difficult to think a man is out of work because he bravely reacted to danger - saving his children from harm - and was wounded as a result. I wish it were within my power to hire him. Bless him - and his children. I have a feeling he will not be without a job for long, as there are many people out here who appreciate a man such as him.

Such a sad story. Its a shame the American media ignores the abundance of violence from thugs and gangsters. I don care what race a person is, you should not get shot going about your business. God bless this man and his family.
I made a donation.

Forget the GoFundMe, somebody offer this man a job outside of New York and pay to move him and his family out of that crime-ridden cesspool. A man holding down two jobs, raising three children, and wanting to surprise his wife with a car and willing to put his life on the line to protect his children.... This is the kind of responsible, hard-working family-man most businesses would love to hire. Heck, somebodywith contacts at Chik-Fil-A see if they can sponsor him for a franchise!
