Don Surber: Ben Carson leads on Oregon shooting

2015-10-07

[DONSURBER.BLOGSPOT] Doctor Ben Carson's response to the gunman who killed 10 people, including himself, at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, put mine to shame.

The gunman asked people if they were a Christian, and then he shot those who said yes. Guess what? People still said yes after that. They are martyrs.

And that is what Carson responded to. Not the pointless debate on gun control (which we already have) but rather on the heart of the matter: Being a Christian.

I am a Christian.

Not a particularly good one.

But one, nevertheless. I like to think I would have said hell yeah.

#3 Or at least throw things at him to spoil his aim while someone else charges. That's my plan.

#2 Often, there are some brave souls who get it and just charge at these MFs. There's one fellow in the hospital in Oregon right now. There's a memorial in Pennsylvania for the fighters on Flight 93. Imagine if, time after time, these whole rooms of full of adults just did that.

Stop being goddamned victims and stand up for yourselves. If nothing else, die fighting.

#1 I would have said no. Remember, Peter himself denied Jesus three times before the cock crowed because it wasn't his time. Why let some whacko determine when your time is going to be? What difference will it make and, even if it makes a difference, there is no time under circumstances like that to think about it. I choose life, not senseless martyrdom.
