Here’s that Christmas Day carjacking of a WA State Patrol lieutenant in Seattle
Two thoughts:
-Seattle may be a total lost cause
-Lethal force can be used in many states to stop a forcible felony
Question:
Did she not have any training at all?
Driving home from visiting family, noticing the few open establishments have Chick-fil-A - size lines while the majority of closed businesses have conspicuously empty parking lots. I take heart that holy observance still exists in our culture, even if it doesn’t understand why.
I respect and appreciate you, Cenk. This is a perfect example of why, even as one who might disagree on many issues, I sincerely value your voice in our cultural discourse. Thank you.
A while back I put out these rules for the internet. 1. When we disagree, we fight. 2. We have a beer afterward. 3. When we agree, we unite. I got a lot of flack, surprisingly, for the line about the beer. People would ask, "Oh yeah, would you have a beer with Charlie Kirk?!"
Well, I did. And I'm glad I did, because now I won't get to. Yes, Charlie and I disagreed a lot and about really important things. But somehow we didn't lose our humanity. We were still fellow Americans.
We can all choose to hate each other now. That's a normal, human reaction. We can choose to blame each other, and I'm sure we will, endlessly. Or we can defy the voices of division in the country, and have a beer together. This time, in grief.
If you really want to strike back at whoever did this, listen to each other instead of hating one another. They want us to hate each other. Treating one another as brothers and sisters, as a united America, would be a historic act of defiance.
Since I'm on the left, I'll go first. For everyone on the right, and most especially the Kirk family, I am so sorry for your loss. I share your grief and I want you to know our hearts are with you!
Not just you. I didn’t like her when she was in Florida. Since being appointed, I’ve tried to like her, giving benefit of the doubt to Trump (who I thought had earned it), but something has always seemed off about her. The buck stops with the president, and I’m disappointed (to say the least) at how out-of-touch he is on this. It feels nothing less than gaslighting.
Be not one of those who give pledges,
who put up security for debts.
If you have nothing with which to pay,
why should your bed be taken from under you?
– Proverbs 22:26-27 ESV
