Charlottesville Unite the Right White Supremacy March

In a scene that looked like it was straight out of the Civil Rights era, a large group of Caucasian males marched in Charlottesville, Virginia holding tiki torches. They walked to the University of Virginia and were met with opposition. All hell eventually broke out with both sides throwing fists, saliva and anything else they can get their hands on.

The march was billed as a "Unite the Right march" and was begun with the intention to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee who led the Confederate army during the Civil War.

 Social media has been exploding with many commentaries. The media has been airing the story all day and has had passionate commentators from both sides speaking on the situation. Some blame Trump and his speeches for empowering the so-called "Alt-Right" who are labeled as White Supremacists. Others say that this is nothing new and has happened for decades.

 As the day went on and Virginia's authorities tried to keep law and order, a 20 year old Caucasian man plowed his car onto a crowd near the downtown mall injuring dozens and killing a 32 year old female marcher. James Alex Fields, Jr. of Maumee, Ohio was later arrested and is facing charges. To add to the horror of the day, a helicopter carrying two State Police officers monitoring the protests crashed killing two officers.






















I will continue to update this post as I learn more. Hopefully, everyone will calm down and will resort to discussing how to remedy the existence of White Supremacy groups in America.

CBS Reporters Killed Live On Air

Just when you think you have heard the worse in regards to shootings, something new comes along. This morning, two employees, a report and cameraman were gunned down during a live newscast for WDBJ-TV. Young and ambitious journalists Alison Park and Adam Ward were doing their job interviewing a Chamber of Commerce representative named Vicki Gardner when they were ambushed by a disgruntle employee named Vester Lee Flanagan.  Adam Ward captured on his video camera his own killer.   



Weeks ago, someone claiming to be named "Bryce Williams" called ABC News stating that he wanted to pitch a story.  This morning a fax came in at 8:26 a.m. with over 23 pages which was a manifesto. The fax was received two hours before the shooting.  "Bryce Williams" was in reality Vester Lee Flanagan who worked for the news station as a reporter.  He was fired two years ago for bad behavior and lack of emotional control and had to be escort off the network's studio by police, according to Jeff Marks who is the manger of the station.

Flanagan claims that he was the target of racism and described Alison as being racist. He also claimed he was mocked for being gay.  According to the manifesto, the shootings in Charleston influenced him greatly.  He also praised the shooters at Columbine high school which took place in 1999 and the recent shooting in Chattanooga.  Flanagan was tracked down via his cell phone.  He was actually posting on social media as he committed the heinous acts.  Vester committed suicide before the police could apprehend him.  His twitter account @Bryce_Williams7 was suspended.    

The news world has been in mourning using the hashtag #WeStandWithWDBJ and changing their Facebook profile photos to off the air color bars.








Here are the videos from both perspectives:  Adam's and Vester's.   WARNING:  They are hard to watch.


 

 






The news is heartbreaking. I offer my prayers and condolences to all affected.  These two young people had their whole lives ahead of them.  They were even engaged with significant others.  May they rest in peace.

Thomas Euteneuer




Former president of Human Life International, Thomas Euteneuer is in a lot of trouble. A former employee is accusing him of inappropriate contact. The alleged victim claims Euteneuer sexually abused her for 2 years during an "exorcism."

Euteneuer did admit to overstepping the boundaries of a priest, he apologized in 2011 by claiming that he made "imprudent decisions with harmful consequences, the worst of which was violating the boundaries of chastity with an adult female who was under my spiritual care."

The victim is suing Human Life International and the diocese of Arlington for 5.3 million dollars.

These stories are depressing to hear but are the reality of when a priest is not spiritually grounded. Priests are men, they have natural drives to reproduce. A man cannot just shut down these natural cues that cause arousal and the desire to reproduce. This is where spiritual and psychological maturity comes in.
