VT Massacre Perps Identified

Chuck Norris, movie actor, martial arts expert and conservative Christian journalist, wrote an article recently on WorldNetDaily.com about the Virginia Tech massacre. I appreciated his comments about whom or what was the cause of the VT massacre. Norris writes, “Though one can point to Cho's own psychotic behavior and our graphic slasher media as potential contributors to his deplorable murder spree, we must also hesitate to consider how we as a society are possibly contributing to the growth of these academic killing fields. I believe those who wield the baton of the secular progressive agenda bear significant responsibility for the escalation of school shootings. Even conservatives who refuse to speak when evil flourishes must acknowledge some culpability.

“We teach our children they are nothing more than glorified apes [evolution], yet we don't expect them to act like monkeys. We place our value in things [materialism], yet expect our children to value people. We disrespect one another, but expect our children to respect others. We terminate children in the womb [abortion], but are surprised when children outside the womb terminate other children. We push God to the side [adoption by education elite of Secular Humanism – see the excellent video “When God was kicked out of the schools”], but expect our children to be godly. We've abandoned moral absolutes [ridicule, minimize, marginalize and even ban the Ten Commandments], yet expect our children to obey the universal commandment, ''Thou shalt not murder.''” [emphasis and comments by gregjaye]

A VICTIM'S PARENT RESPONSE


Norris concludes his insightful article with the following poem, written by Columbine High School shooting victim Rachel Scott’s father, Darrell Scott, which Norris says, “aptly describes the problems we face, and provides the answer, for those courageous enough to believe:”

[Dirge to a Secularized Society - title by gregjaye]

“Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air

You've stripped our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer

Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.

You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question, ''Why?''

You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed,

And you fail to understand
That God is what we need!”

ANOTHER RESOURCE

An excellent video that corroborates Norris' assertions is the video titled, "The Day They Kicked God Out of the Schools." The video elaborates on some of the ideas that Norris outlines in his article.

MORE PERPS

Violent video games such as Grand Theft Auto when combined with a troubled youth who spends hours upon hours fine-tuning his "killing" skills desensitizes his brain and makes him a prime candidate to be another Cho. All adult or mature rated videos should not be sold to anyone under 18 or 21 years of age. We should demand that state and federal congressional representatives create laws and then have our police and courts uphold these laws banning sale of mature content video games to kids. This would be a step in the right direction. The rights of parents to protect their children in this case outweigh any free speech rights that the profane producers, purveyors and profiteers of these violent and destructive games may claim.
