Okay since the media twists things and you're in a separate country I'm just going to fill you in on one detail.
Only whites were involved in this incident. This story is being turned around into this being about racism. Why?
It is a shame that a young man is being used for the media's benefit, but is being used to stir up anger on both sides. So as you said before with following Christ and not either side, do that -
Right now it is better to stand back as an objective observer towards everything you are hearing. Not everything is true and Jesus is the only truth that we can stand on. There is brainwashing on each side.
Both sides have used their tongues to slander one another. The right side seems to want to represent Christ the most, but I also see they are not showing it with their lips.
James 1:19-20
"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God."
We can be honest and objective. It doesn't align with Titus 2:7-8 and it looks bad on us as Christians.
I’ve followed the case live and I think I’ve heard every argument but I have never heard the argument that his actions should be racist. If anyone is arguing that, they are basing that on the fact that he took a photograph with the proud boys 4 months after the shooting.
I don’t think the shooting had anything to do with racism at all. People all over the internet are flexing their rights to carry arms and this time a child was flexing his rights to carry in the middle of a protest. I think it’s stupid for a 17 year old to act as an AR carrying medic/firefighter, but I don’t think that makes him a murderer.
If I was an American I would probably feel the urge to buy a gun too, but I feel it’s a stupid problem for society to deal with. I wouldn’t want children of mine to grow up there.
