OPINION:
When a young man wins a woman’s sporting event, we are asked why we care — after all, there are relatively few deserving young women who would have won a championship and possibly gotten scholarships. When an unvetted, illegal immigrant rapes or murders a citizen, some say, It’s not like that doesn’t already happen here every day.
When a Holocaust survivor is set on fire, does it really matter? Some Americans don’t know a single Jewish person anyway. When a privileged young man stalks and kills a businessman, husband and father, then calls it social justice, a segment of the population even donates money for his defense.
These are all innocent American citizens who have become victims — harmed, violated or murdered — yet there is far too little compassion, much less outrage, about it from the political left. The line between right or wrong has become blurred and is now, somehow, situational.
Must the threat be at one’s own doorstep before a wrong really matters?
