Actual photo of a person being shot at close range. (SEE BELOW)
Read below to prepare you for the actual moment.!
Seeing folks actually pulling the trigger on another human may not be your cup of tea.
Violence can be a brutal event.We tend to sit back in our living rooms, and view the barrage of information that comes across from our media. We can easily become desensitized to the real gravity and danger of the world within which we exist.
Lives may be ended or altered forever during the heat of confrontation. When I first saw this photo, my heart was instantly brought face to face with “cold” reality. Yet at the same time, it made me realize that like any citizen, I’m just a person traveling through our environment, too. This moment of conflict, on some distant shore, truly captures the results of what can happen when the enemy is totally exposed.
Wintertime
One winter morning a husband and wife in northern Ohio ’s Bay Village , were listening to the radio during breakfast.
They heard the announcer say, “We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through.” So the good wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said “We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through.” The good wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says “We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park…. Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, “Honey, I don’t know what to do. Which side of
the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?”
With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to Blondes exhibit, the husband replied, “Why don’t you just leave it in the garage this time.”
