Those are constructive ideas.
What should be done about the classmates who say there is no dad because the girl is fat and ugly? Or about the people who believe that human anger (name-calling, etc) can accomplish the righteousness of God?
The mom could have done things differently, I know. We don’t know how she handled things in the 6 years before this. But I DO know what bullying (that is winked at by school administrators) can do to a kid and his/her parents. It sounds like there was a history of this little girl being shamed for a lot of things beyond her control.
We don’t know if this mom had any male friends in her life, who could have taken the daughter to the dance. We know nothing of her story. It just seems like people are quick to assume and speak, and much, much slower to actually listen.
That’s what really bothered me about the Milo situation. Milo could have told us a lot about what molested young men go through and how they deal with it. It could have been a real opportunity for listening, learning, and healing/reconciliation. But no, we had to be too “holy” to actually love and listen.
Ugly. Ugly doesn’t fix other ugly.
I want the conservative party to be open to younger people. That includes folks like Milo and even Ms Tomi Lahren, We need people like her too.
Milo will return to the stage when all the dust has settled.
After that Berkeley riot, followed by the accusations that Milo was somehow advocating sex with children I thought to myself that he should simply ‘go away for a few months, step out of the news cycles. Completely out for a while.
Maybe others advised him to do the same. Sometimes a momentum to create and build can be exchanged for a momentum to destroy and dissect.
Hopefully, Milo has learned some valuable lessons about the power of subtle messages. I would advise him to stay out of the news until at earliest, late summer or early autumn. Americans will forget the sharpest areas of concern if he can keep his mouth shut for a while, and stay away from certain third rail topics as much as is possible.
