92-Year-Old Shoots Burglar: Has It Come to This?

First, we salute 92-year-old Earl Jones for being well enough preserved to hear three burglars breaking in, get to the door without scaring them off, and shoot one of them.

Also, we salute the Commonwealth of Kentucky for having enough common sense to uphold Mr. Jones's right to protect himself and his property.

Now, will someone please explain the outrageous story below the videos and pictures? "Monday morning's incident was the third time his home had been broken into...in the past five weeks," and he had "been robbed," Mr. Jones told reporters.

Right. The other citizens of Verona, Kentucky, are decent human beings, had offered to help guard Mr. Jones's house, and he'd turned them down? Or, the police in Verona, Kentucky, have sold out to higher-up members of the criminal gang of which the three thugs are part? You know there's a 92-year-old man apparently living alone, you know he's reported two burglaries this summer, and...where are you, exactly? What is going on with these people?

Oh yes, by the way, Mr. Jones is a veteran. Sixty years ago he risked his life to protect our parents and grandparents' right to peace and security in their homes. So now in his town nobody's willing to help preserve the peace at Mr. Jones's home? Mercy. What's going to become of this country when Mr. Jones's generation are gone?

As Ellen White wasn't even the first to point out back in the nineteenth century, the great sin of Sodom was not homosexuality, or even homosexual rape. There is not and has never been a whole city where all the people would have been remotely interested in doing those things. If Sodom had needed to be punished just for the sin of its young men, as the Bible writers indicate was the case with some other large demographic groups, the story would have been about how the young men were slaughtered in a battle.

We know that the whole city of Sodom deserved to be destroyed because, when a gang of homosexual rapists harassed two visitors, nobody but the newcomer whose home they were visiting even tried to protect the visitors. The great sin of Sodom was that nobody, not the women, not the senior citizens who'd passed through the sex-obsessed stage of life, cared what happened to anyone else. (Possibly they'd all bought into insurance schemes that would have deprived them of coverage if they'd got involved with anyone else's problems.)

The great sin of Sodom is alive and well in the United States today, and apparently, according to this story, what really deserves to be called "sodomy" is going on even in small towns.
