May he rest in a better place now.
I thought the same thing about how ironic that he’d be holding that sign up.
Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Mom and sister terribly injured, this boy dead and luckily one son unhurt.
I pray we will find the perpetrators of this act and that God sends his mercy to everyone affected by this terrible act.
It’s just not that easy. There is evil in the world and people who do evil.

Peace is not the absence of war, but the presence of justice.
When the word “Peace” was turned into some kind of trademarked, we own it, retort to everything that the lefties felt was unfair, it lost its meaning. Libs ruin everything.
Peace has a different meaning when it’s demanded by someone that fights to earn it.
May God bless and receive this child.
That having been said, I was one of those boys who drew pictures of Army men. Then I became one and after that a policeman.
I have - skills. There are many thousands more like me who are far more skilled and experienced in arts that would make the bleeding heart bedwetters who persuaded this child to write this sign faint dead away.
We are the rough men who stand ready in the night to do violence on their behalf so they can sleep soundly in their beds (h/t to TR).
I fear that the generation who headed off to Iraq and Afghanistan may be the last of the breed.
I thought the same as you (may God forgive me for the irreverence). I have a cousin, an avowed pacifist, who says nothing is ever gained through war.
At the risk of sounding even more irreverent — I would like to think this tragedy might be a wake-up call to liberals and anyone with delusions that evil can be dealt with “civilly.” Alas, I may be just as naive.
It has always bothered me that the “peace symbol” is an inverted cross.
My six year old brought home a picture he drew at school. It was a large, fanged sea serpent with a stick guy on top jamming a knife into its head and the sea serpent spitting out a bunch of stick figure soldiers with guns.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
With all due respect, I find this post in poor taste.
