I love this guy.... I would not wish a "political career" on such a good guy, but IMO he needs a bigger stage to speak from:

http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/20/mike-rowe-florida-shooting/

Mike Rowe shared his thoughts on the recent tragedy at Stoneman Douglas High School, and it will blow anything the establishment media has to say out of the water.

Rowe wrote on Facebook, “Evil is real. As long as humans have walked the earth, people have chosen to do evil things. This is what happened in Florida. A nineteen-year old man chose to do an evil thing. He planned it. He executed it. He succeeded.”

Rowe also said that while it’s important to find out the contributing causes of mass shooters, we shouldn’t absolve the killer of responsibility for his actions.

“Should we endeavor to know why? Absolutely. Should we discuss the impact of video games, accessible firearms, single-parents, no parents, powerful medications, social media, mental illness, bullying, or anything else we think might have encouraged him to choose evil over good? Without question.”

“But we should also stop confusing the influence of such things, with the root cause. Because nothing in this man’s past can possibly explain his decision to kill seventeen people,” Rowe added.
“If you believe otherwise, ask yourself why millions of other people with a similar past, don’t make similar choices.”

I'm a huge fan of Mike Rowe for his returning the favor series. I'm not at all surprised at his stance, a decent common sense human being.

He's one of the idiots that wants to get rid of Confederate flag. He believes I'm racist if I have one.

What's the big deal on the Confederate flag? There is only one that really matters.


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Again the comments section has some good posts, "Dirty Jobs DC" as one example. Then I saw this one, "Roe ain't bad for a classically trained opera singer.
I never saw that coming. There's more to this guy than meets the eye...".

Not much of an opera fan but when I thought about it, he does have a very well modulated speaking voice....

True that.

Some people will never heal, they need to learn, to let it go.

Have a good day.

Public executions would also help to prevent poor choices. A deterrent for future generations.

I shouldn't have hijacked 2ndwind's thread. He posted something positive, I should have let it alone.

Should you have the opportunity, listen to Rowe’s speech to Apple employees.

There is much more to Mike than dirty jobs.

I heard a great comment on radio on way home tonight.

Students in Florida high school are more pissed off at the guns not being banned than they are at the evil 19 year old shooter.

These kids are soo full of the "don't judge me" mantra that they can't see the shooter for the evil he is. Or despise him for his evil.
