    I played baseball with Chief Rusty’s son growing up, I’m sure some guys on here know him. I spent a couple weekends at there house when we played in Charleston. One of the most haunting things I’ve heard is his radio communication during the fire. Makes me not feel right even thinking about it.

    I don’t approve of destroying monuments/memorials, but I can see why people are destroying confederate and police memorials (don’t agree with it, but understand the sentiment). What I can’t wrap my head around is this and other ‘demonstrations’ that are directed in the wrong direction.

    A memorial to a disaster was a terrible idea in the first place. Memorials should be to celebrate successes, not immortalize tragedies. Those firemen aren't heroes for dying in a building. They were heroes for running into that burning building, as are the ones that made it out alive.

    Many of the demonstrators are nothing but run of the mill vandals that just want to break glass and paint graffiti.

    Folks need to realize that much of the destruction of monuments is not about protesting a particular cause or political position. This is not about protesting slavery or the Confederacy or saving Black lives. That is just a ruse to get widespread support (and it is working nicely) This is about a Marxist/Socialist attack on the American system of law and government........and to be sure, some of it is just plain old vandalism.
    If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.

    If a man is alone in the woods, says something, and a woman does not hear, is he still wrong?

    Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out. —George Carlin

    Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.
