It’s been a long time since I answered a question with anything more than sass, sarcasm, or assholery.
Many of you heard about the Vegas shooting over this last weekend. I had friends there. One of my friends lost her dad, another two also got shot. One was just shot in the arm and another was shot in the back. Both are doing better now.
First off, this disgusts me and my heart is broken. It’s times like these that truly shake you to your very core. How could someone be so cruel? So disgusting. It seems that there is more to this shooting and this man than the media is telling us, but all of that needs to be momentarily pushed aside-people need help right now, comfort, us coming together as a nation and unifying as a people.
Secondly, what is a man? Countless stories have come from Sunday night: of husbands, dads, boyfriends and random strangers wrapping their arms around women and taking shots for them. Protecting them. Triaging victims and using the shirts of their very backs to do what they could. Using their vehicles or in some cases, utilizing someone else’s vehicle to transport the injured to the hospital.
You want to know what a real man is? That’s a real man. Who puts aside his agenda, his pride, hit time, his political views, and lays himself and even his very life down for another. With no hope of seeing his name in lights or having any recognition-just the fact that he did what was right is enough.
Rest In Peace to those slaughtered at the hands of evil. Pray for those and their families. Do what you can to help whether it be monetary, giving blood, time. More than anything...we need to come together.
