Salvation Army Major Fatally Shot in Front of His Children
Foxnews ^ | 12/25/2009 | Staff

Arkansas police are searching for two men who shot and killed a Salvation Army major Christmas Eve outside the organization’s community center in North Little Rock as his three young children looked on.

Pulaski County Coroner Garland Camper said two men accosted Philip Wise and his children — ages, 4, 6 and 8 — about 4 p.m. Thursday. He says one man pulled a gun, demanded money and then shot Wise.

Wise's wife, Cindy, also a major in the Salvation Army, was inside the center and called 911.

I hope Fox News is not just now reporting about it. At Fox’s site, it doesn’t give the time the article was written, just Dec. 25th. But the man was killed yesterday afternoon around 4 pm. It was on the internet news last night.

Haven’t visited Fox News site today until just now, so maybe they have had the story posted all day.

This crap makes me angry beyond words. To gun a guy down in front of his family for a bucket of dollar bills...

There are animals in the world.

There have been far more attacks on, and thefts from, the Salvation Army this Christmas season than I can ever remember.

In Italy, someone smashes the face of the Prime Minister and attempts to assault the Pope.

There is a pattern developing.

If you aren't a socialist or a member of one of their protected classes, then watch out.

If you value your life, change your political views.

““Vengeance is mine” sayeth the Lord.”

Good, I just hope the authorities can arrange the meeting.

Does Arkansas have the death penalty?

For innocent bystanders and people serving their God by helping their fellow man, yes. I don't know if they do for criminals that kill people...sad commentary.

“...there’s going to be a backlash against African-Americans.”

This is no more likely to happen than the oft worried about backlashes against Muslims, or the non existent frenzies of pro-life Christians killing abortionists.

African Americans need to backlash against their own scum.

Prayers for this man’s wife and his three young children.

This is a horrifying event. There’s no justice for this kind of depravity.

Are economic troubles driving the increased crime?

I like your thinking....sadly, there is too little of it today which is why the world is the way it is.

I have many family members who are Officers (ministers) in The Salvation Army and they all carry handguns during the Christmas season.

I knew Phillip Wise. He was a good good man. He is in heaven right now. My heart breaks for his children and bride.

I heard the people who robbed him were black and that is a tragedy in itself. The chances are great that the general public, through the service on Major Wise and folks like him, probably provided some sort of financial assistance to the perps when they were younger.

This situation reminds me to be thankful for The Salvation Army. They are the real front lines in the war on poverty. We citizens in the US respect the Army and believe in them. They do God's work in our name. I will support them even more than I have before.

As to vengeance, please know that Major Wise would have forgiven the one who murdered him, immediately. I know it is hard to fathom but that is what a Christian does.

It will be rough for a few decades, perhaps even a century. At least until those that have conquered the whites decide there are more interesting things to do besides killing us for amusement. As the Gaul said to the Roman: “Woe to the conquered!”
