Since the controlled media is trying very hard to seize control of the narrative, perhaps it’s time for people on our side to double down.
Perhaps it’s time to start referring to the victims of this act of terror as the ORLANDO MARTYRS.
Because really, they ARE martyrs. Martyrs to over a half century of the most ill-conceived and suicidally stupid attempts at social engineering in history, namely ‘Political Correctness’ and ‘Tolerance’, which have now proven to have just as much accuracy as Orwell’s ministries of Peace, Love, Truth, and Plenty.
a real martyr was Miguel Pro Juarez --
At 10 a.m. on Nov. 23, 1927, the prisoner was taken from his cell and led across the compound to the execution site. Even before he reached the place of his martyrdom, the plan began to unravel. As Padre Pro walked with his crucifix in one hand and a rosary in the other, one of the policemen who had helped to capture him a few days before broke ranks and approached him with tears, begging the priest to forgive him for his part in the ordeal. Reaching out to him as a brother, Padre Pro said, “Not only do I forgive you, I also give you thanks.”
Upon arrival at the wall of execution, the priest asked permission to pray before being executed. Being granted his wish, he knelt before the wall riddled with bullet holes from previous executions and, clasping the crucifix and the rosary next to his heart, he asked God for the grace of a holy death. Then, he rose, kissed the crucifix, extended his arms in the form of a cross and, facing the firing squad, declared: “May God have mercy on you. May God bless you. Lord, you know that I am innocent. With all my heart I forgive my enemies.” Finally, as the firing squad took aim, Padre Pro said in a calm and steady voice, “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” “Long live Christ the King!”
These people, while victims of the massacre were not given some kind of "change your mind or die" choice and they were not standing up to someone/anything.
