THE WEEKENDER: All the Talking Heads

By Clyde Black

I’ve been home recovering from back surgery and I’m so ready to get back to work!  I’ve been watching a lot of news and it sure is depressing.  There is so much ugliness and so many people discussing it and giving their views about the issues.

This guy named Rob Porter and his situation is a perfect example.  This man has been on the White House staff.  Apparently several years ago he injured his wife giving her a now much publicized black eye!  The information eventually got to the White House and he got fired for the domestic violence.  This now has become a major issue against President Trump by those who hate him so much.  I don’t think Porter was ever actually convicted of anything.  The Haters all seem to forget his due process, simply hang him and impeach Trump for taking a little to long to fire him.  Good grief!

Now I’m watching the Florida high school shooting tragedy.  Here we go again.  Let’s all of us give up our guns because they kill people.  No, actually people kill people.

It is always because of mental illness.  Listening to all the reporters and their opinions will drive one nuts.  The professionals tell us to report what we see or hear if its suspicious.  Well guess what, that’s enough.  Most of us here in the county know someone we think is crazy enough to do something like shoot up a church or school.  So we support our suspicions to law enforcement.  What are they supposed to do?  They can’t remove someone from society for being weird and there are no good mental health laws, criminal or civil, to get the mentally ill any long term help.

For now, we need to try to get folks to share concerns with law enforcement and report suspicious behavior including all criminal behavior.  My back is recovering and soon I’ll be back at work actively involved in these endeavors instead of setting here at home watching and listening to all the talking heads.

Please help us, Lord.
