Line of Duty Death

For those of us that make up the thin blue line it is a heart wrenching thing when one of our number is killed or maimed by some animal. It is especially hard when the incident occurs close to home.

On July 16th Detective Mark DiNardo of the Jersey City Police Department was shot while attempting with his ESU team to apprehend two armed piles of excrement that had earlier wounded other Jersey City Officers. Sadly, Detective DiNardo has died from his wounds.

The subject that fired the fatal shot had just been released from prison after serving time on a weapons charge that Detective DiNardo had charged him with.

This man even served his community in death. Detective DiNardo's organs were transplanted to five people in dire need of this life saving procedure.

In your charity please remember this brave man, his wife and three young children in your prayers.

Another in a long line of cowardly pieces of human effluence has snuffed out the lives of police officers. This time in Pittsburgh, PA, three officers responding to a domestic dispute were gunned down by another pathetic loser who felt his rights were going to be infringed by the current administration. So three more families of honorable men will have to suffer. Why you ask. Let me give you a hint. More than one media outlet quoted the mother of this animal as yelling "what are you doing to my son?" as the police responded in force to the house after he committed these murders. Of course the suspect who proudly said to a friend in a pre rampage phone call "I am going to die today" did not fulfill that prophecy. Like all spineless cowards he surrendered.

Its very difficult to remain pro life in the face of events like these. Please join me in wishing him a long life as a debutante on a squalid cell block with predatory alpha males who will ensure he will have a tangible preview of what Hell will be like for him.

And in charity please remember in your prayers the souls of Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo III. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

Email I just received says a 29 year veteran firefighter from the Elizabeth, New Jersey Fire Department was killed in the Line of Duty at a working fire today. Please remember him and his family in your prayers.

This is NOT the way to start the New Year.
