There have been quite a few shootings in the news lately.
Standard issue though, nothing special it seems.
It is this point in time when we need to shake ourselves. This monthly, weekly and daily shooting stuff is becoming ho-hum, so-what.
Its the first of the year and I just happened to look at the coverage of the incident at White Settlement, Texas. The one where the guy started shooting in the church and killed two people before being killed himself.
I looked at this incident in particular because of the positive stop situation that happened, it's a rare thing. I feel real bad for the people in the church needing to have guns at the ready to praise ideals of peace and love.
How can we keep from having to break our own religious tenet of "Thou Shalt Not Kill" to simply gather in the name of, and offer praise to God?
Have you read my book? Check it out Here.
But the real story is the two people that were killed. The real story is of the families of these men and the unimaginable feelings of loss they must be experiencing. Are they feeling a need to place blame? If they do, and most people do, will they place blame in the same places that you would?
Two, American, church going men. Anton Wallace who was 64 years old and Richard White who was 67. Innocent humans praising God.
How long will we mourn them?
DO NOT FORGET THEM in the fervor to pat ourselves on the back in adding a single verified positive stop situation. The shooter was stopped, good, he was a piece of human neglect to be dealt with. But let's hear about the two people that we traded his life for.
Realize that we didn't REALLY stop this guy. Two innocents died, he succeeded and we failed again.
On to the next senseless murder(s)....
I will be starting my journeys in El Paso, Texas at the Wal-Mart that was unwitting host to the horrific killing there a few months ago. I'll be there close, handing out my book for free and talking issues with the locals... as soon as I can.
