I hope you all and your loved ones are holding up well. Everyone of these vicious shootings brings with it some heartbreak to the communities involved, even if you and your fam are not personally affected.
Love. Hugs.
Black lives matter.

It's been an awful week...just the thought of a four-year old saying "I'm here for you, Mommy" (crying)

(84,504 posts)Heartbreaking is accurate as all-get-out, and an understatement at the same time. What is this? THREE slaughterings in a week??????
I'm so sorry. OMG - sending everyone here love and solace and the deepest respect.
Trying to think peace. This is an angry summer.

(26,411 posts)Acknowledge the truth, put it out in public with no excuses. I have hope this governor will not allow this to be swept under a rug or left to wither on a vine when the public interest moves on.
It was a forceful declaration from the white governor of a mostly white Midwestern state, almost two years after a white police officer killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen, in Ferguson, Mo.
Browns death launched a national movement against police violence and unprecedented scrutiny of police use of force.
Dayton, a Democrat, said the shooting in Falcon Heights was beyond the pale.
Nobody should be shot and killed in Minnesota for a taillight being out of function, the governor said. Nobody should be shot and killed while seated still in their car. Im heartbroken.
