What I took away from the Las Vegas Shooting..

First, I would like to say that everyone should continue to pray for the folks who were injured. Many have a long road to go before they are healed.

The thought that one man could do all of that damage is incredible. It could have been even worse, but luckily the crazy guy who did the shooting was stopped permanently.

So I am not going to say anything about gun control! I am not going to say anything about liberals, conservatives, socialist. That is not what I am taking away from this terrible tragedy. I refuse to dwell on the hatred and insanity portion of this story.

I am taking away the fact that for each one of these deranged individuals, there are hundreds of great Americans who continue to be of good moral character, and have the stuff that made this Country GREAT.

I watched a bunch of the video's from the incident. These were "point of view" films from the folks who were in the crowd and were fired upon.

I saw men shielding folks with there bodies, I saw men carrying complete strangers from the exposed area's to get them to safety. I saw men dragging folks to get them out of the shock of what was happening so that they could save themselves.

I read about folks making multiple trips under fire to rescue wounded folks. I read of men stealing trucks and setting up a triage area and then taking multiple trips to get 30 of the wounded to area hospitals.

The stories of heroism will continue in the coming days. These are the folks that I would love to break bread with and have a few beers with.

If I could, I would tell them that they have renewed my faith in my fellow man. That they, in this time of divisive rhetoric, are one nation of strong individuals that given the chance will rise up and put others well being ahead of self.

As I previously stated, I will focus on the positives shown by this horrible, evil incident. I will concentrate on the folks who stood in line for hours to donate blood. I wish our media would not focus so hard on the evil doers, and focus on the great Americans and what we all can do to improve the world we live in.
