The Christian is under the authority of that government. Comply with their laws where you donât break Godâs law. If consequences come for obeying God, ââŠfear not them which can kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.â (Matt 10:28)
There are two things that trouble me.
- Dragging the man hanging onto Scottieâs car. It is difficult for me to picture myself purposely dragging a man along side my car as long as I didnât have fear of my life or bodily harm.
- What is with the yellow rain coat suggesting that it is not a police official. It is dark and rainy. The rain coat is most likely âsafety yellow.â
I get that Scottieâs attorney would not want him to comment on either of these concerns of mine.
Lew Rockwell had a very sound apology of Romans 13, with the exception that I donât believe he sees the distinction between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. The Old Testament is the nation of Israel acting within the Kingdom of Heaven (which is taken by force), not to mention that Romans 13 was not written to the Jews (2 Timothy 2:15.)
He approaches the Constitution in a way that the Christian is under the authority of the Constitution (the idea) as opposed to a human leader and his armed forces. I like that.
One report has the man âattaching himselfâ to the vehicle, and while the video is unclear, I suspect âdraggingâ was intentionally inserted into the reports to misrepresent what actually happened.
The eyewitness, a reporter, said nothing about the officer being dragged.
As far as the raincoat issue, I am not sure how they were marked and some reports claim Scheffler was unaware the man was a police officer while he was complying with the other officerâs directions.
One of the reports has the officer banging on Schefflerâs windshield and yanking him out of the vehicle.
Legit saved multiple shooting victims, suicide attempts, from imminent deathâŠNOT A FUCKING PEEP
If it were me and I didnât think that I dragged the police officer, I would have been shouting that to the high heavens. Did we hear anything like that from Scottie? IMO, that is a red flag.
Scheffler is generally a class act - new father, devoutly religious and is likely trying to take the high road not trying it in the court of public opinion.
Not to mention heeding his legal counselâs advice.
Disputing the diction in the report would also subject him to the accusation of protesting too much.
Maybe scream on the radio a bit more. Or write more tickets.
Actually its notâŠi play every sunday and its relaxing to me
More than likely your lawyer wouldâve advised you to stay quiet for a strategic approach to legal proceedings.
I occasionally play and have never found the relaxation element of it.
Why do so many pretentious douchebags play golf?
Chuck Baldwin, actually.
Itâs a game that requires patience, practiced skill, self-control over frustrated outbursts, consistency and manners, which are also all qualities that lead to lives breeding pretentiousness
Thats how you know breaking out the disciplinary record is just a wash job.
Just because a person does something or things wrong, doesnât make everything they ever did wrong.
But when the media or legal defense teams want to destroy character, thats the first thing they break out.
Its like doing good and making mistakes canât coexist within the same person.
I donât get why golf is associated with business. Why is that even a thing?
Itâs be cooler if combat sports were associated with business.
Its not that they play golf to be better than you, they are better than you therefore they play golf.
Its a celebration of social dominance through metaphor. Big rich white men smacking little underlings around until they finally put them into the ground. In a park like setting that costs about a million $$$ per acre.
Of course im bullshitting.
Well we agree!
But itâs because if youâre a sales rep and beat the shit out of a client CEO, youâre probably not going to do well.
Itâs usually good to lose golf too, which is easy to throw without being too obvious.
Plus you have hours on the course to chat which doesnât happen in a fight. Itâs more the social aspect than the actual game.
Its the good life. Youâve arrived. If you have 6 hours on friday to go smack a ball around, youâre living the american dream.
A company I worked for had a permanent Tee time reserved at one of the nicer clubs in the region for its executives. When you reach that level, you get a BMW X5 or what ever, a really nice set of clubs, and a standing appointment to golf with the others every Friday.
If the boss (owner) or one of the others invites you, you go if you know whats good for your future there. You play nice, have a couple drinks (but not too many), smoke a cigar, etc. And be one of the people who made it.
There are many measures of a man. How you behave in those circumstance is loaded with them.
Hell, there are a couple of places locally like Southpointe ( â that extra e is bigtime!) That have home offices of some pharma, tech, and energy industry giants home offices built around a really nice golf course, and executive houses interspersed throughout. And Nevillewood! Woo! So you can go there, do business, entertaine guests, the whole shebang, all in one big nice location.
If you ever find yourself there or in similar environ- You have arrived.
