The Left Is Reaping the Whirlwind of the Culture They Made
PJ Media, Feb 16, 2018, Andrew Klavan

<snip>

The left wants to defend gangstas and "transgressive" art and antifa thugs — but when the shooting starts, they blame the guns.

The left wants to get rid of feminine modesty and masculine protectiveness and social restrictions on sex — but when the abuse and rape and harassment rise to the surface, they start whining about toxic manhood. Perhaps they should have listened to the Catholic apologist G.K. Chesterton, who wrote about the difference between reforming society and deforming it — a passage that was neatly paraphrased by John F. Kennedy: "Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up."

Now the left wants to legitimize disrespect for the flag and for Christianity. They want to ignore the rule of law at the border and silence protests against Islamic ideas that are antithetical to every good thing the west stands for. They should look to Europe where all that's been accomplished. And now, when European women are molested in the public square, the gormless authorities advise them to behave more modestly lest immigrants get the wrong idea. When Islamic knives come out and Islamic bombs go off, the police rush to harass — who? Those who question the dictates of the Koran.

In this instance the citizens---young and old---did everything right:  The shooter was identified and reported before the rampage and those under attack helped and protected each other---even at the cost of their own lives.  So I'm not sure culture is the base reason for the shooting in Florida. 

This time we have concrete evidence of those in positions of responsibility unwilling to meet them.  Perhaps our time, energy and focus will be better spent fixing this breakdown, not gangsta rap or feminine modesty.
