In
case you haven't been watching the news with an eye out for the most
dangerous and deluded people out there, Alabama has been dealing with
a live one. Police are saying that Jim Dykes shot a bus driver before
taking a kindergartener hostage and holing up in an underground
bunker. It is deplorable what people can do to each other. The
question is, what do we do in the face of this kind of brutality? We
can try to control gun violence, we can support the family and
friends, we can rally support from the community and nation, we can
comfort the people involved, we can try to construct ways that
prevent this type of situation, or we can do something completely
worthless like pray.
Fox
News has decided to opt for the do nothing approach in their puff
piece on the Alabama tragedy. They have come to the conclusion
that shining a spotlight on the people that opt to pray instead of
doing something worthwhile is the best course of action in this
situation. Of all the things that could be done by every one of these
people involved, they would rather sit around and parade their piety
in front of the world instead of actually trying to accomplish
anything.
