If they find someone that was committing massive amounts of fraud, will we elect them to Congress?
Since this story is trending, and I need to maintain my score of comments on 7 of the 14 trending stories on FITSNews, I shall, God willing and FITS permitting, post here an important comment on an important story which FITS totally ignored for reasons unknown to me.
That important story is the nationally-covered trial AND ACQUITTAL of Professor Chow in the defense-of-others shooting death of 14-year old LOADED-gun-toting Cyrus Carmack-Belton.
In national coverage of a South Carolina crime trial, it is perhaps second only to the Murdaugh case, or third behind that and Susan Smith’s drowning of her own two children to hang on to her rich once-boyfriend, or fourth behind those and Dylan roof.
The rank in national coverage is less important than race, hypocrisy about race, and appeasement which ignores the underlying problems until they re-explode.
Immediately after the martyrdom of the Charleston nine saints, the story became about the confederate flag. It later became about whether Mother Emmanuel Church hoarded the donations or distributed them to the victims’ families.
Few, if any, had the courage to address how a white teenager got in his head the idea that blacks want to rule the world and that he had to go shoot nine of them in a church to thwart that conspiracy.
Fewer still had the courage to explore how easy it was for Susan Smith to go on national television and plead with the imaginary black man (who, according to her lies, had taken her children with her hijacked Mazda Protegee) to return them.
And now, perhaps none other than I has the courage to explore why so many blacks insist that Asian immigrants open convenience stores to take the money of black customers and mistreat them to the point of shooting them for no reason.
But I put that aside for now because something as important is left unexplored; and things said by Cyrus’ parents seized my attention. Cyrus’ father said they have other children and that Cyrus (and his siblings?) was in Catholic school. Cyrus’ mother said that Cyrus’ “expensive black shoes” were missing and that the school principal had told Cyrus’ mother that Cyrus had given them to another student who did not have shoes.
I find that story naive and hard to believe, specially if the context is in a Catholic school.
Was that supposed beneficiary of Cyrus’ charity previously going to school bare-footed? And if it was indeed a Catholic school which required “expensive” black shoes as part of a disciplined uniform, where was the charity of the school itself in supplying the needy student with the necessary part of a disciplined uniform?
Not cynically but realistically, if Cyrus did indeed give his own “expensive black shoes” to another student, it was LIKELY not charity but one of three things: (1) in barter for the gun OR (2) in submission to a bullying bigger and meaner student OR (3) a rite of initiation into a gang which has infiltrated even a Catholic school; OR a combination of all three.
And I write that with fear and trepidation BUT with a sense of duty to alert parents and schools alike: do NOT shirk to the other the responsibility to know what your children/students are REALLY doing.
Do NOT sugar-coat your observations or suspicions.
And do NOT think that gangs and bullies cannot infiltrate gated communities or private schools. They likely already have.
We need a cultural revolution which says guns are not cool, abstinence is. The books you read and understood, not your well-shined “expensive black shoes,” should not be the real proof of your discipline. Your simplicity and sincere smiles, not your tattoos or your piercings, should be your beauty.
Yes! I said a revolution and I mean it.
If you have to choose between your children and capitalism (versus Christ saying the love of money is the root of all evils), which will you choose? Your children or money?
If you want to post the Holy Commandments in schools, emphasize “though shalt not covet thy neighbor’s ….”
And remember Jesus Christ’s answer with the Good Samaritan parable to the question: “Who is my neighbor?”
