It's raining at the farm, which today, somehow seems appropriate...
"...this is a sobering reminder that attacks on any American - regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation - is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us a nation."
- President Barack Obama, 6/12/2016

ReplyDeleteAnd stronger. Thank you!
DeleteAmen. Senseless.
ReplyDeleteSo many words to describe it. Senseless is a good one to use. Thanks
DeleteI feel numb. I don't understand how someone in a non-war situation can commit such an atrocious act. When will it stop?
ReplyDeleteFiona, Islam is at war with us. This guy pledged his loyalty to ISIS before he started shooting. This is not a non-war situation.....it is the shot across the bow. It will not stop....it will only get worse. It was Islamic Terrorism, period.
DeleteI understand Fiona, so sad and unexplainable. And Tewshooz, I think she might have meant like some event in a large war like you might see on the battlefield but as you said, war is changing. And of course now we don't even know if he even had that as a motive. Just so sad. Thank you both for your comments and thoughts!
DeleteThoughts and prayers go out to the families of all victims that where killed or injured
ReplyDeleteThe Office of Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a notice out that all flags must be lowered to half-staff until June 16 "in memory of the victims in the attack."
Thank you. Our office building lowered its flags. I saw them up at a car dealership and called and told them. They apologized and lowered them today.
DeleteThis is more than terrorism. This is an ugly crime of hate that leave all the world bleeding from the hearts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these words.
DeleteMy heart aches, my soul is weary and my emotions are tattered. My thoughts and prayers for healing and recovery to all Orlando victims. And I truly dislike that word--victim. Our country, like much of the rest of the world is being torn asunder. I ask the question as so many others, WHY? Why is there so much hate, anger and violence? Let us hope we can find a peaceful resolution to overcome these obstacles and be united as humans.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a kind soul. Thank you for this.
DeleteI've cried today for people I don't even know. It's so senseless, so much hate, I just don't understand. Amy
ReplyDeleteThank you. Kindness and love.

ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI was numb when I heard the news. I have never seen that ribbon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank YOU. Peace!
DeleteMy head and heart ache, for and with the victims and their families.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely yes to that. It's so hard to watch but I feel I need to hear their stories.
DeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteDitto.
DeleteA true tragedy...I am numb today...
ReplyDeleteSame here.
DeleteSo heartbreaking and senseless.
ReplyDeleteNo truer words.
Delete1st Man,
ReplyDeleteThis was terrible. I hate to say it, unless we get control of the real problem were going to see more of this.
Prayers to those who lost their lives, and prayers to their families.
This is so true. Thank you!
Deleteit's so hard to understand how this could happen. people out just having a fun evening and then this. so so sad.
ReplyDeleteA place they went to to feel safe in being themselves. Just a horrible event.
