Evil walks among us
By Kevin Finn
Like many, I spend hours scrolling through news sites, often feeling overwhelmed by a flood of troubling stories. It’s like wading through murky water -- sometimes knee-deep, sometimes over my head. Incidents like the Afghanistan debacle, President Biden’s mental health cover-up, the “Autopen Presidency,” the Russian Collusion narrative, and two assassination attempts on President Trump have pushed my distrust in the Left to new heights. While the intensity of these stories fades, the cumulative damage lingers.
Recently, a wave of headlines felt particularly suffocating.
On July 26, Clinton and Cristen Brink were fatally stabbed while hiking with their daughters, aged 7 and 9, at Devil’s Den State Park in Arkansas. The suspect was arrested on July 30 and charged with capital murder. He admitted to the random attack, with DNA linking him to the scene. Cristen heroically ensured her daughters’ safety before returning to aid her husband, only to be killed.
That same day, an assailant stabbed 11 people, aged 21 to 84, at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan. All victims, including one employee, are expected to survive. Bystanders, including a former Marine and an armed citizen, subdued the attacker, who faces terrorism and assault charges. The random attack may tie to the assailant’s history of mental health issues, including a 2017 insanity ruling.
Also on July 26, a mob of young black individuals assaulted a middle-aged white tourist at the Cincinnati Jazz Fest, dragging him into the street and beating him severely. One viewer alleges that attackers stomped on the victims head over 30 times. A woman was also severely injured when she tried to help the victim. Cincinnati Councilor Victoria Parks controversially claimed the victims “begged for that beat down,” sparking outrage. A Community Note suggested the victim may have provoked the conflict, but the mob’s response was wildly over the top.
