WHEN JUSTICE SEEKERS ARE UNJUST

Sunday we all witnessed a shooter attempt to murder two Sheriff deputes while they were sitting in their patrol car. The shooter ambushed the officers and shot them at point blank and then ran off. As that happened “Black Lives Movement” members mocked and celebrated the shooting as the video-taped it and sent it out on the internet. That’s a new low. Then we saw more of them surround the hospital shouting “We hope they die!” and using all sorts of obnoxious language.

These Black Lives Movement (BLM) people were manifesting the very worse of human nature— showing their hatefulness, their lack of respect, and their lack of human sympathy. What they were doing also shows their hypocrisy about asking for justice. They want justice, but they give none. They want justice for themselves, but they don’t seem to have a single thought about the justice of other people. Did anything they do fight for the justice of the individuals who were shot? Considering how they chanted, “and you are next!” speaks about how bitter and hateful they are. They are repeating their hate speech from 2016, “Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.”

If the members of the BLM had any human compassion, regardless of their views of police, when they saw two human beings senselessly gunned down, they would have called 911 and run toward them to do what they could to help. But they did not. Instead they mocked them. They laughed at them. Not only is this kind of behavior despicable, it is propagating a toxic environment for democracy. That’s why it has to be stopped. What’s adds to this toxic environment are all of the majors, governors, and other city officials who do nothing to stand against it. What does this say about the Democratic party who have embraced BLM?

By way of contrast, even after the 31-female deputy was shot in the jaw, she called in for backup and then helped her 24-year old partner, putting a turquee on him which undoubtedly saved his life. Here was heroism. Here was courage in the face of adversity.

The problem with such intolerance that we are seeing from the BLM all over the country is their hypocrisy. They want racial justice, they want racial tolerance and acceptance— yet they spout intolerance, hate, and human ugliness. That will never work. A wise man once explained, “Judge and you shall be judged. The judgment you give, that judgment will be given to you.” (Matthew 7:1-2).
