no more questions!
This has been a trying week… or two.
I can say that I am truly disappointed in the actions and reactions of the many as they pass judgement
A man was shot. A young man. He was black. He was 22. He was in the inner city. He was likely wearing baggy pants. He could have had on a red shirt. Maybe he was wearing a hat. Forwards. Backwards. Sideways. Maybe it was a drug deal. Maybe it was innocent. Maybe he made fun of someone. Maybe he was with the wrong people. Maybe he was Christian. Maybe he was Buddhist. Maybe even Muslim (God forbid!).
The facts are…
He was shot. He was killed. He was human. He had a family. He was loved. He, nor anyone else, deserves to die like this.
I don’t care what he was into or what music he listened to or where he was walking from or why it happened…
What I care about…
is the echo that is left behind.

You look familiar.
About the young person who was shot. It is sad. It is also sad that so many want to judge without knowing all the facts first. People should get out of the way and let justice work. We sure don’t want mob rule.
Amen to that! I pray that God guides the family and all involved over the next couple of days…Love you!
You care about important things… No one deserves to die like that… You are right… When tragedy strikes… It is good that there are people like you around… That care… That do their best to give their hands to God for a moment… To lend a hand to those in need… I suppose your hands are bound sometimes by regulations… Still… You do what you can… Sometimes just a little – makes a BIG difference… Sometimes all you need is a mustard seed? Go Tude!
