Don Surber: We now praise heroes, not villains

Don Surber: We now praise heroes, not villains
"When a Muslim refugee and his brother bombed the Boston Marathon in 2013, he made the cover of the Rolling Stone.
Now in making America great again, we praise the heroes, not the devils.
When two nutjobs (one is transgendered) opened fire on high school students in Colorado, Kendrick Castillo charged them and sacrificed his life for his fellow students.
Castillo was the only fatality in the shooting. Stories abound about him, not his killers.
Brendan Bialy, who helped subdue the assailants, told CBS, "What he did was legendary, like, he's a hero."
They were friends.
Bialy said he was a car buff and electronics whiz. And Bialy said, "Kendrick was a, like, just super kind guy, funny, incredibly intelligent, very memorable. He wasn't just somebody who sat in the back."
Later, when Democrat Senator Michael Bennet and Democrat Congressman Jason Crow showed up and tried to turn a memorial into an anti-gun rally, students and parents walked out, The Hill reported.
Last month, ROTC student Riley Howell took three bullets and died saving his fellow students when a gunman opened fire at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.
He was buried with full military honors, Fox News reported.
Let us remember Kendrick Castillo and Riley Howell, two good young men who laid down their lives so that their friends may live.
As for the nutjobs, I favor execution, but if not imprison them for the rest of their lives.
Maybe Rolling Stone can put Castillo and Howell on their cover."
