we still haven't dealt with racism, hatred and intolerance in this country. We can no longer sweep it under the rug. I am trying to process this.

3. Beyond Horrible!

I hope justice will come close to be being served. I hope it gets a lot of news, ONLY if it shines a major light to the MONSTER of Racism.

It makes me sick to my stomach.

4. Yep, yep, yep....horrific

For those of you not on Facebook, it may surprise you that I'm like a dog with a bone about racism and bigotry. I grew up with it...I know it when I see it, and I don't let anyone get away with it. I call it out EVERY SINGLE TIME and it drives people crazy.

I want to bring it to the surface, because sweeping it under the rug solves nothing. This is something that definitely needs a lot of light, so it can finally heal. I keep saying I don't want the words racism and bigotry to END discussions as they are wont to do because people are so afraid, I want that to be the START of a sincere discussion.

6. Stay out of the fear as you can ....

It doesn't help at all. Do what you can, where you can and know that it's enough.

7. I agree with you.

Also, I believe we are going through a karma because of our past history of slavery and genocide of the native first people here. Until we meet this face to face and change our ways and make amends, we will still be in a dark place.

Plenty of prayers and angels to the victim.
