London and the golf cart rider [View all]

[democrank]

I realize it's easy for me to say from my vantage point, but the London terrorists seem less and less the main focus as each hour passes. Their heinous acts are being overshadowed by the determination of London's leaders, the bravery of the first responders, the compassion of the people, even the attempt at a renewed calm.

A young man returns to pay his restaurant bill from hours ago, a young woman hands flowers to a policeman, another rides his bike for miles, carrying a satchel of water bottles for first responders, and thousands are defiantly singing in Manchester. It's goodness in motion, random acts of kindness, courageous resolve.

I'm uplifted by the examples Londoners have set, but these examples shine a glaring light on the difference between Londoners and the crass, inept, morally bankrupt American Bully in the golf cart.
