Don't Hump Down The Heavily Armed
Summer Rent A Cops at the beach have never gotten respect going back to exactly forever and seem to attract individuals whose personalities lie somewhere between paranoid and petrified.
I live at the beach and I have known young men and women who opted for a Rent A Cop Summer one young man telling me his ultimate goal was to be in the FBI and he thought it would look good on his resume. I tried to tell him that quite the contrary he was sending up a flag that he was insecure and potentially unstable which is why Rent A Cops are never armed.
New York City has a corollary to the beach rent A Cop and it’s called the urban Auxiliary Cop and there are thousands of them walking the sidewalks of that sick city because they are committed to helping their fellow man or they should just be committed or they are laying the groundwork to someday wearing a Gold Shield like some Law and Order Detective.
A so it was a sad story this week when two of them chased a heavily armed former Marine down a city street because the guy had just wasted a pizza store clerk with 15 rounds to the back motivation unknown but deduction clear the bitch was crazy and running away which means call 911 but don’t chase just in case he may get tired and turn around and shoot your unarmed ass which is what happened and it was captured on video and now on cheesy security camera internet and poor families are devastated all over the place.
Two days ago a young black man asked an aged Russian man whom he encountered at the Exit 6 rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike if he wanted to buy some religious CD’s. Russian guys don’t need CD’s to affirm what they already don’t believe so he said no and turned around and got whacked in the head with a rock and died.
An innocuous bystander followed the guy by car and called 911 and 90 miles later they pulled him over. The guy was delusional which goes without saying he was selling religious CD’s to old Russian guys at Jersey turnpike rest stops.
Back in my Temple University days I always carried an extra dollar just in case a street schizoid wanted to sell me something because I’d give up a dollar rather than be assaulted by a large paranoid person. There was this large Black cat who called himself The Gypsy that guarded the entrance to the Spring Garden Street Subway entrance. The Gypsy sold knee high black dress socks for a dollar a pair and I owned one pair for everytime I went downtown becuase although we were friendly I knew he wouldn't hesistate to kill my ass over the dollar he didn't get. And anyway the socks were stolen and worth much more in the market place of sanity and I ain't craqzy.
I just needed to write this because I feel so bad that three people died for no reason like if maybe their behavior changed slightly they would still be alive but some scenarios you just cannot predict.
Life is the ultimate I.Q. test in real time action and sometimes failing is simply getting one wrong.

Brother Freddog,
The great deception is that life is fair. There is only one environment on earth where fairness is taken seriously - public pre-K and elementary school - and even there it can be hard to find if you're conservative.
The Bible says nothing about fairness because God knows we are inherently incapable of it. Fortunately, it says much about how to deal with unfairness.
The more people walk the earth under the misconception that they will be treated fairly the more we will be reading about those who suffer senselessly. Faith in humankind is faith misplaced.
There's a better system, and today is a good day to start looking for it. Deception or the truth, which will it be for you my friend?

The truth you speak of may be the ultimate deception. I don't look for fairness I just treat others fairly on this planet of random animal behaviors,
Treating people fairly is a good thing, and I'll bet you're relying on doing good things counting for something if the God of the Bible really exists as it says He does. On the other hand, you could be correct - it could be the ultimate deception, but. . .
1. what if it's not, and
2. what do you have to lose by pursuing it?
Think about it my friend, the answer could have severe eternal consequences. As a thinking man, don't you want to get to the bottom of it? On planet Earth ignorance may be bliss, but what about after earth? Is it prudent to wager all of eternity on our limited understanding of the here and now?

Certainly I am always thinking and rethinking the entire existance thing but I ain't afraid of no god and he ain't afraid of me either if he is out there and no matter what I think reality is what it is and he who believe in me and I forget the rest but life and belief is not a fear factor episode and why are innocent belivers persecuted on this planet tell me why that is ever a good idea?
Brother Freddog,
Innocent persecution of anyone is never a good idea, but true believers in Jesus Christ consider it a blessing - sounds nuts, right?
It is nuts by the standard of the world, but consider this. If you were God and sent your son to earth to save a bunch of knuckleheads like us, would you put a high value or worth on those who also suffered in His name? It's really not a novel concept. There are bridges, roads, and buildings all over America bearing the names of people who suffered and died horribly on behalf of others. Was it "fair" that they died? Certainly not, and that's why they are so recognized.
In God's economy, His heroes are those who best emulate His Son Jesus Christ - a Man who suffered and died not just for the deserving but also the undeserving. True Christian concepts usually run contrary to those accepted by the world. It begins with God sacrificing Himself when He could have destroyed His enemies with a single word. Looking for worldly logic in a quest for the truth of authentic Christendom only makes it more difficult. It's the reason Jesus only spoke in parables when addressing the public.
I'm surprised if you don't find this aspect of the journey intriguing. It's as close as the Gospel comes to challenging human intellect.
