JFK

Lee Harvey Oswald

People say Oswald wasn’t even a very good shot.

He struggled to hit his targets, and eventually he was pushed out.

His equipment wasn’t great either,

yet █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It wasn’t really about a “magic bullet.”

It felt more like a dark, unbelievable moment in history.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, on the other hand,

must have spent a lot of time practicing at the firing range.

He used a more powerful modern rifle with careful aiming.

And yet, in a way that feels just as unbelievable,

he missed the one person everyone thought he was trying to hit.

That’s part of why several people in Trump’s crowd were hurt or killed.

Trump later honored them on stage, if I remember right.

They were good people, including a firefighter

who spent his life risking himself for others.

I believe he would have gladly stepped in to protect Trump too.

He understood what Donald Trump means to many of us:

hope for a calmer world,

peace in everyday life,

and an end to a lot of pain and chaos we’ve lived through.

To many people, what happened on July 13, 2024, felt like a miracle.

We all know a miracle when we see one.
