No doubt my memory or basic information is wrong about the Charlie Kirk shooting, but based on what I remember reading and seeing I’m amazed that a relatively naïve twenty-two year old could carry off the one perfect killing shot characteristic of a well-trained career marksman, then be photographed leaping off the building like a Hollywood stuntman and running off without so much as a limp, somehow handling the rifle which will then be wrapped in a towel.
If it weren’t for the horrible fact that our country has become a killing field it would make for a fascinating whodunnit. As it is, I’m writing this at 3:30 a.m., losing sleep in grief over the world-wide violence passing as news these days.
How I long for that “lost” song I’ve been remembering lately from my high school days (1946):
One world built on a firm foundation
One world no longer cursed by war.
Let no mortal man
Change the master’s plan
In a world where war shall cease.
One world built on love and peace.
Now have at it. Explain to me what I’m missing in the murder details.





Hate breeds hate. Too much power
And in the end, all that violence accomplishes is destruction. Thanks for noticing and commenting.
I am with you, Mona. I don’t get it. Including the lionization of Kirk. His death is horrific. But so were his words.
I’m hoping this is a case of reaching the black depths of the Shadow before creativity and growth naturally follow. Right now, I like your positive entries on Facebook.
