I doubt he’s even thinking like this at all. When people lose loved ones like this, they go into a kind of shock. They almost seem calm in comparison to what others think they should be feeling. He is likely trying to find something, anything that will bring him feelings of comfort and a sense of control. What he is choosing may be completely wrong headed and something we disagree with profoundly, but I think the better way is to show this guy some mercy and give him the benefit of the doubt regarding his intentions. Don’t assume he is callous just because you don’t like what he has to say, that just makes you look callous toward a man who just had his daughter murdered on TV.
What this man is going to find out is that it will only take a matter or weeks, maybe even days before this story is replaced by another and these murders are forgotten in the minds of many. Any effort he wishes to make on behalf of her memory will also evaporate when he is no longer of any use to our political class. It is all very sad, but true. This poor man has a long road ahead of him and will likely never get over his loss. Pray for him.
Yeah, I have been praying for their families since it happened. Have you?
Maybe he is numb. Maybe he is callous. Unless you know him, you don’t know.
I think it’s most likely that he’s a hard nut to crack; feeling rage and desire for revenge that is misdirected into politics (which might be war to him. It is to many Marxists). The man who killed his daughter is dead and he can’t fantasize about killing him. He’s probably a lot like the killer in a way. That man killed in the name of his misdirected sex pervert and racist (Marxist) politics. It was war to him; a race war.
The head of the NRA gets the misdirected rage from some carrying a thirst for revenge from kooks like this. I hope this one doesn’t have a gun and gets counseling before he hurts himself or others. He’s defiantly out of wack. I never got this vibe from Gabby Jefferds and her husband.
