When it comes to the horrific school shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, you’re more than likely going to hear the mainstream media drone on and on about how much gun control is needed and other such nonsense.

What you aren’t probably going to hear a lot about are the heroes involved in the incident, such as Christian “Riley” Garcia, a 15-year-old student who gave the ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of his fellow classmates.

This is a tale that’s both tragic and inspiring.

Keenan Smith, the Garcia family’s pastor, told the outlet of his parishioner’s brave actions.

“[Christian] was holding the door shut when the shooter was trying to gain access into that art room … the shooter shot through the door, taking his [Christian’s] life,” Smith told CNN.

According to the report, Christian was able to keep the mass killer at bay long enough to allow students to escape through an alternate route.

“He was against the door trying to help his teacher, trying to help another student, and trying to shield the others there,” Smith said.

Christian’s pastor went on to state that the young man had planned on going into the military after high school, making it clear that he truly had a heart to serve and protect others, a trait that was deeply ingrained in who he was.

We live at a unique time in history where heroes are in short supply. The example of Garcia’s sacrifice serves as a lesson for each and every American that love gives itself for others, even if it means forfeiting one’s life.

While there are times that future generations look completely lost on an emotional and psychological level, kids like Garcia remind us that not all of them are beyond hope. In fact, most of them are good kids with bad teachers, both in school and at home.

Let’s hope the kids Garcia died to save always remember the sacrifice he made for them and never allow his memory to fade in their minds.

Is 2020 over yet? Is 2021 going to be worse? If Joe Biden is elected president, it is certainly possible – but dang. This year has been a trip and it’s only halfway through. Just wait until we get closer to the election. It’s gonna be fireworks. From TDW: The city council for Montpelier, Vermont unanimously rejected a petition to paint an American flag and the phrase “Liberty and Justice for All” in front of the Vermont State House. The city council made its decision in a contentious Wednesday night meeting where the members heard arguments for the murals from GOP gubernatorial candidate John Klar and several other supporters. Klar wanted to paint the flag on one side of an existing “Black Lives Matter” motto on the street, and the phrase “Liberty and Justice for All” in red, white, and blue painted on the other side.

Black College Student Finds Racist Notes On His Car, Evidence Shows He Planted Them Himself

How many race hoaxes does this make, now?

Race hoax, race hoax, where for art thou race hoax? It’s hilarious to think that some people believe they’ll get away with acts of nonsense like this, attempting to blame an entire group of people over something that never happened. If Texas A&M had a spine, they would expel this student on the spot. But they won’t. It would be bad press. From The Daily Wire: In late June, Texas A&M University student Isaih Martin made headlines after he said he found racist notes on the windshield of his car. […] Late last week, Texas A&M police closed the investigation. Just as in nearly every other instance of an alleged hate crime like this, police determined that the accuser was responsible for the notes. […] Police said there were no cameras to clearly capture what happened, but nearby surveillance footage showed only a few people walking near Martin’s car during that time frame, none of whom were near the car long enough to post the notes. […] Police said that “based on video evidence, no other person had enough time to place the messages on Martin`s car other than himself.” How about them apples? The worst part is that the guy will most likely never have to answer for his crime. What kind of life lesson is that?
