Samantha needs to go to jail for false reporting of a crime, incitement to riot, and related charges if she swears to any of this.
I wonder how many halfwits and racist cop-hates are going to buy this “fake news” and run with it, all the way to the liquor store which they will rob and loot before burning it down.
We’ve never yet done that for mere scurrilous news coverage. The result of trying would be to jump out of the frying pan of private media lies into the fire of statism.
As for “pay for” — that’s a pretty nebulous concept. Are they expected to suffer in image? As a result of assault? Politically? It is not said. But nobody asked for a liquor store to be robbed and looted and burned here. That’s someone else’s ideas.
I know I’m going against the grain here, but a people that forgets to be humane is indeed going to find itself paying a price. First its souls will coarsen, then its actions will coarsen, then various untoward results of its actions will come upon it. And God will let it thus keep on slowly spiraling towards hell until finally it either gets there and self annihilates, or else it calls out so urgently and earnestly to God that He sees the sincerity and begins to answer.
People like Samantha who are upset at spectacles like this shouldn’t impotently rage. They should flee to the comfort of God who not only hears sorrows and honors sympathy, but who also acts and directs aright to deal with problems of destruction in constructive ways, which may entail focused righteous rebukes as well as new encouragement to do the right things.
As the bible says: “be angry without sinning.”
I believe as a society we’ve gotten so individualist on one side (we often call that conservative), and so mindlessly communitarian on the other (we often call that liberal), that we’ve forgotten the good Lord who would bless both individuals and communities to a harmonious united plan that is simultaneously both generous and reflective of the holiness of heaven.
All of them will buy her story. She sees dollar signs in front of her face. She forgot there would be video.
