Cowardice And Love In Virginia

Published: Wed, 08/26/15

Choosing not to put our focus on unwanted things
isn't the same as pretending they didn't happen.
 
An act of grandiose, narcissistic cowardice took place
today in Virginia. A small, sick, disgruntled man who
refused to accept responsibility for his lot in life took
it out on two innocent young souls.
 
And like Jared Fogle last week, the media bandwagon
hopped into bed with our worst instincts and posthumously
gave this guy exactly what he was looking for…
a sense of place.
I won't ever mention his name, anywhere. 
 
And in a better and more responsibly run media, no one
else would ever broadcast it in any way, shape or form.
 
We will always have our worst instincts, and the least and
most troubled among us will carry out acts of barbarism.
 
When the media is complicit in the act, expect to see more
of the same.
 
If they come up on a wall of silence, never to mention
the name of the perpetrator, you will see less of them.
 
 
 
Go out and do something good for someone, just because
you have love in your heart. It's the antidote to the toxicity
that's being presented as "news."
 
Peace and love to Alison Parker, Adam Ward and their
families, and to that of the perpetrator of this crime.
 
Much Love,
Larry
