Today I got a really shocking message from my friend in Florida.
You know how you can sort of know someone because a friend of yours talks about them? You feel like you know them, personally, even though you have never met them. Well my friend in Florida has a neighbor who has a long time buddy staying at his house while he’s home in New York. These guys go back to Junior High as really close friends. I feel almost as if I know this man because my friend talks about him all the time. A nice guy who has helped them with their gardening and home repair stuff. Let’s call him Joe.
Last night Joe was shot three times at the local MacDonald’s drive -through. There is some confusion (a lot of confusion) about the circumstances. Right now the police are calling it a “road rage” incident. We know that Joe does not carry a gun. The bottom line is that this man, once of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet is now in critical condition and may lose his arm. There is no way this guy could ever be a threat to anyone. Shot three times? “Road rage” at a MacDonald’s drive through? That sounds like attempted murder to me, rather than self defense.
As I say there is a lot of confusion right now.
What ever in the world is happening to our society?
I am in an absolute state of shock.
That is about it for today.
Have a good night, all.
God bless everybody.
