‘We were feeling vulnerable again.’ This was stated by some nameless politician on the TV. But it could have been uttered by almost any politician after the bombing at the Boston Marathon. It is all rhetoric. They don’t speak the truth. There are no guarantees. We live in a dangerous and unpredictable world. It always has been. It will happen again. People are murdered every day by guns in the US.
It goes beyond rhetoric. ‘Malicious politicians with nefarious schemes.’ this is a line from a song. Isn’t that the truth? The politicians will use this incident to take away more civil liberties. Our rights have been taken away from us one by one. All in the name of freedom. We will protect you from bombings and mass murderers. The fact is those in power can’t prevent such incidents. They lie and step by step take away our freedoms and we let them because we are scared. And want protection, which they really can’t guarantee. They lie and are thieves. It is the politicians we need protection from.

There is one reason why many want to blame and target the mentally ill for travesties like Sandy Hook Elementary, where over twenty were gunned down mostly children. It is easier. The young man who perpetrated those murders must be crazy. And other mass murderers like the man at Virginia Tech. People are scared. They want a scapegoat. Despite the fact few of these mass murderers are even in the mental health system. They must be crazy to have done that–gunned down and killed innocent people. By all means strengthen the background checks to buy guns and ammo. The fact is there is a Devil in this world and evil exists. No one wants to face that. Or even admit that. It is easier to say these murderers are crazy.
And yesterday another travesty occurred at the Boston marathon. More evil. Many people including the FBI are trying to figure out who is responsible for that cowardly act injuring over an hundred people–some people who will never be the same again. Two bombs were deliberately set off in a crowded area. This dastardly act was designed to instill fear in others. And kill innocent people. It is being called a terrorist act. More evil. I don’t care who the perpetrators are and how they justify those acts. It is evil. Designed to strike fear into others. It is a cowardice and pure unadulterated evil. And you fight evil with truth and courage. And with Him who will never leaves you.
