Miracle on Live TV

For those of us who watched the Donald Trump rally in Butler, PA on July 13, it’s obvious we all saw a real live miracle happen right before our eyes. 

U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon of San Francisco told congress he recreated the conditions of the assassination attempt with basically the same rifle and ammunition as the would-be assassin used and laid in a prone position on a sloped roof. His distance to a target, 130 yards.

Fallon recounted the simulation this week at a House Oversight Committee hearing, during which lawmakers delivered a brutal, bipartisan tongue-lashing to U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle over the agency’s failures in Butler and what they characterized as a lack of information since.

Cheatle later resigned.

Fallon said he wasn’t sure which of two kinds of scopes the shooter had used, so he took eight shots with each type he had during his exercise. Behind him, an aide displayed two human-shaped targets riddled with bullet holes.

“You know what the result was?” he asked. “Fifteen out of 16 were kill shots That’s a 94% success rate. It is a miracle President Trump wasn’t killed.”

I agree. 

And the would-be assassin was a 20-year-old youngster with average to below average shooting skills.

It’s amazing how polarized our country is as I’ve watched people comment about the assassination attempt on social media. I’ve always known there are many people who despise Trump but it amazed me how callous, cruel and downright evil some people were for being disappointed the shooter missed.

I mean this is a human being we are talking about. What has happened to our society that we have people amongst us who openly thirst for the demise of another human being? 

We’ve all heard and seen Hollywood’s populace threaten to “blow up the White House” (Madonna), “push Trump off a cliff” (Rosie O’Donnel), “punch Trump in the face” (DiNero), “Assassinated a president?”(Depp) and of course, the showing a decapitated Trump head (Kathy Griffin and others).

What is wrong with people in this world today? Where is human propriety?

No matter how hated a person can be there still should be some human decency, class and virtue in our character, right? Are we all  so graphically immoral that we go against the simple instruction of our God in heaven to “not kill” “not hate” and “to love one another?”

No matter how vile or unsavory a person is, we should never celebrate or fantasize the death of a person whose precious life is bestowed by God. 

Shame on you who do.
