Sir Guy of Gisbourne: Now that you’ve robbed us and had your fill of insulting us, we wish to leave. Come, Lady Marian.
Adventures of Robin Hood 1938
Robin Hood: My own men will escort my Lady. But before you take leave of her, it might be as well if you thanked her for saving your life.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne: My life?
Robin Hood: Do you think you would’ve left this forest alive if it hadn’t been for her presence here
A lot of media at the location and elsewhere are complaining about people blaming them for the attempt to kill Trump simply because they ‘ve been portraying him as Hitler and a threat to democracy who must be stopped at all costs to save us all.
The media in general and the press at the location in particular need to thank God almighty for their lives.
Because nothing would have turned the country in general and that crowd in particular into a mob seeking revenge like that shot hitting home.
I’ve been saying since after June 27th that if the press couldn’t force Joe Biden off the ticket it was likely the left would kill him.
But apparently when God saved Trump’s life he also saved Joe’s.
Not only has the subject been changed from his physical condition but the but the odds of the margin of a Trump victory going beyond the margin of fraud has become high enough that there is now little point in pushing Joe off the ballot, might as well let him take the fall.
Biden might not be the best of Catholics but all of those masses must have paid off.
Another life potentially saved by this is Robert F Kennedy.
Despite being an even more obvious target for assassination than Trump he has for months he has been denied secret service protection.
I presume this is because being a threat to pull vote from Biden voters who just can’t pull the lever for him, the Biden Administration and the folks giving orders wanted to make things easy for a potential killer so they’ve denied him protection right along.
Now a few days after Trump survives an attempt to kill him and a few hours after Trump publicly called on the Biden Administration to give him protection, the protection is given.
Like Biden there is no percentage in knocking off Kennedy anymore.
You might remember a few weeks ago I mentioned a Hispanic co-worker who had voted for Joe Biden last time who, sick of the economy and not willing to vote Trump told me in no uncertain terms that this time he is voting Robert F. Kennedy.
I took a Vacation day Sunday for my son’s birthday so I didn’t see him till yesterday. He came up to me again and said: “Now I vote Trump.”
That missed shot and raised fist changed everything, although in fairness I think the most critical voters to Joe Biden, those whose ballots magically appear after 1 AM on election day, are still as far as I know solidly in his camp. The question becomes will Trump margin be so beyond the margin of fraud that they won’t bother.
Finally let’s not forget the man who was murdered on Saturday. Corey Comperatore.
As a man who realizes everybody, no matter how rich or healthy eventually dies let me say this.
Corey Comperatore will be remembered in history as the man who responded in a moment of crises to successfully save his family and died doing so.
I’d wager that most men given their choice would choose to die peacefully in their bed, surrounded by loving family, children and grandchildren who he can say a final goodbye to before going. That in my opinion would be any man’s first choice and I’m sure his heartbroken family right now wishes that were the case.
But if a man had to pick a 2nd choice for a way to die, dying while saving the lives of your wife and kids has to be right up there and being remembered for doing so by the whole world is a pretty good way to go.
It brings to mind an old poem about men dying well that finishes:
But once in a while we can finish with style, and I ‘ope it don’t ‘appen to me.
