Much has been said about the man who shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that killed 11 people. What I cannot fathom is how someone can look another human being in the face and pull the trigger. Let alone 11 times.
Now the media blames President Donald Trump for inciting hate speech that led to this. Let's recap the killer's motives...he thinks Trump is a pussy and Louis Farrakhan, former President Barack Obama's friend hates Jews. Of course, being from the Nation Of Islam doesn't hurt his perspective in that way. That is pure hate folks. Did it make him or incite others to shoot up a church? Nope. Neither did Trump's stupid comments. I mean, stupid people listen to these idiots anyway. I didn't hear a fucking thing Obama said, nor Bush nor Clinton. They're all figureheads. This man acted alone and his hate was hate deep within him out in the woods of Amish country.
Perhaps what we really need to come to terms with is how quickly life changes. There are now 11 people who were most likely going to die in a comfortable hospital bed, had their lives ended abruptly and now is etched into history books. A ghost story perhaps of a madman who entered sacred ground and the souls now unable to leave the grounds. The Tree of Life synagogue was about prayer and meditation and peace. Now...a frightening cement building housing the tragedy of a crazed gunman.
I've said before how much I hate guns. And guns in the hands of people who believe they are good and righteous are the most dangerous. As are all the gun nuts out there that defend gun rights like it was a child. These people are frightened children who are convinced an armed guard may have thwarted the attack. Most likely another victim.
Be kind'er to one another if you can. We all have the capability for more compassion tempered with common sense. Let's show more understanding. That means doing no harm on whatever level. But also remaining vigilant in the evil people who are really our enemies.
