Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 10, 2009

Last December, the pilot of a Marine Corps fighter jet bailed out of his plane over the outskirts of San Diego. The crippled jet, which had lost both engines, plummeted into a residential neighborhood, wiping out five houses and killing four people.

The pilot?s intention was to fly his jet to Miramar Marine Base. For some reason he chose not to follow mandatory emergency procedures, which called for him to divert to North Island Naval Station, a course that wouldn?t have involved flying over a populated area.

Furthermore, investigators have learned that numerous officials had known for months that the jet, which launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln, was not flight-worthy.

The death of four civilians ? a mother, a grandmother, and two tiny children ? was the product of culpable, depraved indifference by Marine Corps personnel. Those responsible should be prosecuted for second-degree murder.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
