THE DYING SWANS OF 9/11

 

When I saw the dying swans dive from the World Trade Towers I promised to be true to their memories.  How is it that some of my countrymen don’t want their killers to be executed?  They want to punish them by the joke of life in jail. I’ve done time.  It’s a vacation.  Every criminal is afraid of death, execution. They want to give dragged out, fair trials to admitted mass murdering terrorists.

 

Liberals think I am insensitive for wanting the death penalty for these homicidal clowns. Why  do they dismiss the cries of the swans falling?  Do we owe nothing to the innocent and everything to the killers?

 

Forgiveness is cowardice.  Punishment requires the responsibility of taking action. There is cruelty in the faux gentleness of liberals. They don’t take a stand. They are like Obama voting non-committal, present in the Illinois senate.

 

Vengeance is the balancing of the scales of justice not weighting them in favor of empathetic bathos.  Mercy falleth as jaggedly as the edgy rain. If only we could bring back the swans.

 

 

 

 

Look for David Lawrence's new memoir, "King of White Collar Boxing" on Amazon.

There has NEVER been an instance of recidivism following an execution!

I agree 100% with you David, until we demand and use Execution, we will not deter criminal behavior.  I live in a State, where  Criminals are executed, and they have signs that say "DRINK, DRIVE, JAIL".  Yes, in Texas, we believe in Laws, and, and the ones that commit them, are removed from Society, we don't house vicious Criminals, or feed them, at the taxpayers expense, any longer than we possibly have to. Sheriff Joe, in Arizona is not the most repected Lawman in the United States for nothing.  He stands proudly for the Law and Justice.  Let's think of the victums, and execute the ones that have ruined so many lives, they do not belong in prisons sitting on their butts.  Put them to work, and save the Taxpayers some money.

To Ruth, yes, all the things are true, we are in a world of trouble, but ,we have weathered things before,and we will again.  I wake each morning with dread, anxiety and fear, then pray, yes pray, as hard as I can, with all my heart, that God hears so many of us.  I see progress each day,  God revealing Obama to the World, little by little, piece by piece.  We have been inundated, day by day, watched day by day, as they TRY to wreck America. Enemies of Freedom have wrecked havoc in other lands, but although doing their best here, they will not make it, because THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SACRIFICED TOO MUCH TO LET IT HAPPEN!!  Every single one of us, has felt the despair, believe me, each of us has been there, but the American Spirit, does not give up.  We may have been knocked down, shot in the back, when not looking, but we will prevail, we will get up, and fight to the death ,to preserve what God has given us.  They have no foundation, just hate, and deception, and that only goes so far, as righteousness on our side.  We will prevail and "never, never, never give up".May God Bless you andu and America!!!

It is as if they won over us that day anyway- for look what has happened to our nation and people since then?  At least before there was some semblance of patriotism, faith, jobs,and that America was still America.  NOW half the nation actually stands with  that nit wit in the Whitehouse and all that he has done to promote Islam and socialism.  He hates this country and actually believes in the leftist, liberal drivel that he pushes out there as if he is a Roman god to be in awe of.   I detest the jerk and all he has done to help pull apart all that this nation stands for!   Founded in faith in God obviously, if anyone knows history at all but God is pushed out at every turn, O has trashed our government system of checks and balances for his own version of how to do things and had the gaul to put muslims in our government, whined and dined in Europe putting us down at every turn and he is supposed to be the leader of America???....I want to throw up! 

I had a friend that died on 911 who was in the towers for a job interview for a position here, but had to go to NY.  He was a God fearing man, a very good and faithful person who had waited to find his soul mate and he did..another friend of mine.   She was left with two children to raise and thankfully a strong career of her own, but honored her husband in fullfilling his love of horses and children who are of special needs.   He would have been calming those around him, he would have been praying and he would have gotten as many ready as possible for the journey they were about to take....that was the kind of person he was..bless him.    Now as I look back- what did those precious lives accomplish for anything good here except that I pray they were Christians for now they are home with no worries or concerns.   It has taken America down in these 11 years instead of steeling our reslove.  We have just let riff raff trample all over our country, there are people in WA that WANT our free way of life to fail, socialists think they and the Muslims have a foot hold in America; everyone wants a piece of us!   War for all of those years that has accomplished nothing for the good of the world or us; deaths of over 6,000 solidiers; so what if Bin Laden is dead; there are plenty more to take his place as the world is full of satan followers.   We face the taking apart of our nation, half of us will fight to the death to protect and preserve the nation that was founded for freedom, liberty and goodness.  Then the other half are left winged coocoo's that are out of their minds if they think socialism is the answer; it has NEVER worked and certainly this whole world is NOT in need of sum One World Government with the UN telling us what to do...NO WAY!!!!!   Insanity reins!   From the trashing of the children's education with it's idiocy in diversity training so gays (1% of humanity) can feel they are more special than anyone else trying to change humanitarian history and heritage  that has existed since the beginning of time...rather sounds like the nit wit O doesn't it?  We may or may not have weather issues of 'globalwarming' or let's see perhaps ice flows to freeze us all instead! and then there is the radiation of Fukashema, the dread of muslims and there insane governmental religion (?) (how can they call what they are a religion)?  maybe one of satan, but NOT one of anything the Father, Son and Holy Spirit would ever agree with, then there is the fact that there are no jobs and illegals running all over where they have no right to be and no one is doing a blasted thing about them, the rampent stealing of our money from evey source they can take from to fund their fun and games in WA... oh and we are going to run out of food, the sun is going to melt us, or meteors are going to make the sky fall on us, and no News agencies in the Nation that are worth a plug nickle much less the truth in journalism or happrnings...shesh with all this to start our days with how can anyone think that we are a sensible, well educated,bunch of  humans with any chance of this world lasting much longer.  Come Lord Jesus Come!  God Bless the families of the lost.......

I can't disagree with the yearning to transfer the horrific scene of people jumping to their death on 911 to get the people who caused that to happen. I would like to see them erased from the planet as well / ultimately.  However, I can't agree that "Forgiveness" is some sissy manifestation of the weak; some form of retreat.  You're confused.  For example, I could see them getting the death penalty and then one by one .... they get strapped into an electric chair.  Following each of them being executed, I could see the guy who strapped them into the chair, the guy who pulled the switch, the guy who gave the order to pull the switch........etc. all lining up in front of a confessional booth and asking for forgiveness for having killed somebody.  This is great strength; not weakness.  God taught us that. 

Here's a bigger picture example for you: 

What if we pull almost completely out of the Mid East and just sit back and essentially WAIT (perhaps several years) for the Islamic Extremists from various countries to gather and come here to attempt to attack us again?  At that point, the war will have essentially moved to our country (as it did on 911), and thousands of American citizens find themselves participating with our police, our military etc. in a fight to the death with this invasion.  Now, we have an example that I can easily see the clear path.  In this case, the people from the Mid East will surely all die and quickly, and with nothing but high fives all around afterwards too.  However, if a few dozen of them get away and eventually get captured and end up in jail; the whole thing starts over....it's messy.

As much as I've seen, heard, and read about 9/11 over these past ten years, I don't recall ever knowing before about the "dying swans."  Last night I had just watched (through Netflix) the movie "On Native Soil" about that tragic day, the families, and the 9/11 Commission report.  In it there was more footage than I ever recall seeing before and comments about people jumping to their deaths from the World Trade Center towers.  I think I probably like so many others have sealed my mind from those blury images that morning.  Thank you for your beautiful tributet on behalf of all those who were lost tha incrediblet blue sky American day and especially those who made the impossible choice to become dying swans.

Agree

We live in Upsidedownland

I hope it's only temporary

Comment by Dean Froehlig on May 25, 2012 at 10:08pm

Why don't we start with the criminals who allow this to happen:
