Original Intent

Use these quotes from the founders of this nation to understand the trouble we are in today. Every one of these is a gem.

What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” – Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789

Oh. My. God.

My hands began shaking when I read this report. When the SWAT team went to enter, they needed a distraction so that the shooter wouldn’t fire upon them as they entered. They used a child as a distraction, sacrificing her life so they wouldn’t be shot at.

“When the cops came, the cop said: ‘Yell if you need help!’ And one of the persons in my class said ‘help.’ The guy overheard and he came in and shot her,” the boy said. “The cop barged into that classroom. The guy shot at the cop. And the cops started shooting.”

Tell me again how police are the ‘thin blue line.’ Every single cop in this country needs to apologize for the way that the cops in this school acted. I have no, and I mean zero, respect for any cop anywhere right now.

I am too upset to say anything else right now.

Imagine

Imagine the anguish, the despair, the downright anger you would feel when you listen to a recording of your child begging the police to come save their life, knowing that over 100 police officers were standing just yards away preventing other parents from saving your child before he got shot in the face.

The cops are not looking good in this. Now both the left and the right have lost respect for the law.

Nothing good comes next.
