AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO PONDERS IN AMAZEMENT?   4 comments

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.

  1. Hate breeds hate. Too much power

  2. I am with you, Mona. I don’t get it. Including the lionization of Kirk. His death is horrific. But so were his words.
