CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 31, 2022
OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND THERE WERE MORE SHOOTINGS – ON A NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY THAT KILLED ONE MAN, IN OKLAHOMA THAT KILLED ONE AND INJURED SEVEN, AND IN CHICAGO WHERE A SHOOTING GALLERY REGULARLY KILLS AND WOUNDS PEOPLE.
POLICE ARRESTED A TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY IN CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA FOR SENDING A TEXT MESSAGE IN WHICH HE THREATENED TO SHOOT UP HIS SCHOOL. THE 5TH GRADER WAS CHARGED WITH MAKING A WRITTEN THREAT TO CONDUCT A MASS SHOOTING.
POLICE IN UVALDE, TEXAS STOOD INSIDE ROBB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHILE AT LEAST ONE CHILD BLED OUT AND DIED AND OTHERS WERE KILLED OUTRIGHT BY THE 18-YEAR-OLD GUNMAN.
MORE GUN LAWS ARE NOT THE ENTIRE ANSWER THOUGH SOME MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN IT COMES TO WAITING PERIODS, A MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH INVESTIGATIONS.
THE LARGER QUESTION IS: WHAT IS WRONG WITH US? NOT JUST THE PERPETRATORS OF THESE CRIMES. THERE IS A MORAL AND SPIRITUAL DIMENSION TO THIS UNLEASHED EVIL. WE HAVE BEEN MOCKING GOD IN SO MANY WAYS. IS GOD GIVING US OVER AS THE SCRIPTURES SAY HE WILL DO IF WE DON’T LISTEN TO HIM?
THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO LIVING AS WE PLEASE AND WE ARE SEEING THEM PLAYED OUT ALL ACROSS AMERICA. IT APPEARS ONLY A REVIVAL WILL SAVE US. I’M CAL THOMAS.
