The United States has lost one of
its core guiding lights – its Judeo-Christian focus – said one conservative
pundit, reflecting on the tragic and senseless shooting death of an Australian
man in Oklahoma on a baseball scholarship, whose life was allegedly snipped by
three self-proclaimed bored teens.
He was speaking of the Christopher
Lane, 22, who was shot in the back while jogging near his Oklahoma college.
Three teens were arrested in his killing – ages 15, 16 and 17 – and as various
media have reported, police say one of them said they had nothing better to do,
so they shot him.
On Fox News on Wednesday evening, Buchanan
expressed shock and sadness at the killing.
“I think it raises a question:
Where did these kids come out of? Where did they come from to get the idea that
this was sort of a good thing to do and a lot of fun? I think we’ve got to take
a look at the culture that they grew up in,” he said.
Regardless, the shooting
exemplifies the coarsening of America – the decay of the nation’s morals and
values.
“The country has been de-Christianized,
and these kids have clearly been desensitized,” he said, Newsmax reported. “I
think what you’ve got here are products of the cultural, social, moral
revolution that overthrew all the standards by which previous generations
lived.”
