Not every American shares the “indignation” for the effects of the murderers in our country. The ongoing onslaught of violence, murders, and incredible injustice challenges our best intentions. These deep divisions create space for dehumanizing the other and are amplified by politicians and others with a microphone.

Such tragic outcomes seem inevitable.

With a sad and heavy heart I offer gratitude for all the blessings of this life, and in the work for peaceful community, I offer my life. Take my life, not the young ones who hold our futures.

We are a sick nation; our civility eroded by countless careless opportunistic acts. The healing we must have is dependent upon our communities and our local leaders. It’s dependent upon us, each and every one of us, in our daily, ordinary lives.

In grief, gratitude, love, and work, I earnestly pray for integrity and wisdom in our leaders and in our own lives. All depends upon our fortitude in love.

"In civilized countries of this world this doesn't happen."

Anyone who mistakes this country as "civilized" is either a fool or an ignoramus too stupid to know what is what.
