I believe we are in an irreversible free fall
Civil discourse is controversial and being from a “non-approved” church is motive enough to be shot and burned alive.
One segment of the population has gone from wishing you gone to actually saying “Why not?” and have decided to do what feels good to them which is to do harm to those they do not like and that is bad on itself, but that is not the worse.
The worse is that the moral rampart of those targeted against returning harm to fellow humans is no longer operative. And the thin line of “violence only in immediate self-defense” is getting blurrier by the minute and it will completely disappear soon.
And the worst of all is that many of us simply do not care anymore. What is the value of an allegedly moral life if me and mine are to be exterminated because I have a lifestyle that “offends” that segment of the population that seeks to be offended at any cost? We wanted to be left alone, but if we can’t….
I guess we will have to make the space. And I will not lose one second of sleep.
As usual, the MSM leaves out the part about the "senior church leader".
• "A senior church leader armed with a firearm confronted and engaged the attacker, sustaining injuries but delaying further killings until police arrived. His actions likely prevented a significantly higher death toll."
Nope, can't have anything about use of a gun in successfully protecting people.
I agree with you that civil discourse is almost dead as a result of the vandals at the gate mentality of the Left. I believe, as you do, in living a good life, harming no one intentionally, and foremost, my devotion to my Lord, my family, and my country.
Given this statement of belief, what do you think that others like me (and I assume you) won't rise to the call and insure that those who would do damage for political reasons were allowed to reap the benefits of not only our justice system, but to hopefully be the recipient of a freedom pill from one of those they chose to aggress. I will no go quietly into that good night!
I keep saying it, and I live it. Go strapped. Practice so you're competent with you EDC. Obey the law. Kneel to no man.
It has been said that an armed society is a polite society - mainly because you didn't know if the person you were about to fool with was armed. Same should be the case today.
It's amazing how quickly the Left becomes "victims" when someone shoots back.
