Did anyone see this tonight on PBS? The Armor of Light By Abigail Disney & Kathleen Hughes

2. I was disappointed. I expected a bias, but the theme was murky platitudes...

No real set of goals was discussed, and the question of theology and the Golden Rule seem to suffer from what I consider a hazy understanding of self-defense. Shenck didn't seem to come to grips with the notion, esp. since both Gandhi and MLK warned not to confuse SD with political change on a grand scale, or even with the duty to protect one's life and family. Perhaps Schenk would have followed the way of Gandhi's Ahimsa which holds a person duty-bound to use self-defense, but doing so in a manner which does not harm the attacker. But most people do not follow Ahimsa, whch Gandhi recognized. Hence, Gandhi did not object to one using violence to defend family, home and religion; in fact, it was ones duty to defend no matter the method.

Lucy McBath gave some specificity to her goal by opposing SYG. But even here, the law seems of little consequence as the provisions of SYG are employed so rarely in Florida, and even these provisions are no guarantee that courts will accept a defendant's asertions. After all, the murderer of her son will spend the rest of his life in jail.

The Q&A session following was not very illuminating. In that "townhall" and in the doc, Schenk asserted that "gun violence" was increasing, a gross misreading of basic data and a furtherance of gun control boiler plate MSM steadfastly WILL NOT challenge.

Overall, the gun-control outlook was propped up, like a rotting sign in a cow paster on a selfdom-used county road.
