America has a hero problem

May 25th marks the one year anniversary of the passing of St. George of Minneapolis. To remember the occasion, President Biden invited the Floyd family to the White House! At George Floyd Plaza, somebody marked the occasion by discharging a firearm in the vicinity. In broad daylight! And the people discharging the weapons were not firing in the air, but at objects!

What kills me is that George Floyd did not die in battle, he did not die serving his community, he did not die saving a life or for a noble cause. George Floyd died because of the actions of George Floyd. Pretend the police were never called for the counterfeit currency.  Floyd would of (and has) died of an overdose, or at the hands of another criminal, or at the hands of police during a lawful arrest. George Floyd has not contributed to society and was a burden to society.

And what the president did was reprehensible. Biden hates police and it shows. We have documented it time and time again. Biden was forced to go to Rafael Ramos’ funeral because of the horrific crime, and if Obama himself attended, it would have taken away attention for the fallen officer. To contrast with Donald Trump, President Trump has made it a point to thank ever first responder, both on and off camera.  He also spoke to fallen soldiers families via telephone, as well as made a surprise visit to Afghanistan one Thanksgiving.  And; at Police Week one year he called the family of fallen officer Miostis Familia to join him on stage. Detective Familia’s mother was in tears with Trump. Trump also had the family back at the White House as well as the widow of David Dorn. The twice retired police officer who was murdered during a riot by looting looting for George Floyd.

The problem today is that this country doesn’t have any heroes anymore. And this county desperately needs heroes. Entertainers, politicians, athletes, and political pundits are not heroes! Heroes are the cops in the street, the firemen coming to your house at 3 am, the healthcare workers in the hospitals, and people who make a difference.

Our media and our institutions of lower learning took away our heroes. They don’t hear about Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Wyatt Earp, Elliot Ness, Buford Pusser, Buzz Aldrin or Neil Armstrong. Instead we get Michael Brown, Travon Martin, and George Floyd.
