Greetings and Salutations;
The attached image is of the Henley Street bridge, in Knoxville Tennessee. The mayor of the city has ordered the lamps on the bridge to be changed to a rainbow configuration, in memorial to the 49 victims of the Pulse massacre in Orlando yesterday morning. Similar such memorials are being raised around the world. Now, Knoxville is a nice, little, city in many ways, but it is still not known as a hot-bed of tolerance for the LGBT community. In spite of this, there is this large, public display of support for the victims of this viscous attack, as well as a number of more personal moments of people praying together, and standing in support of the victims. All across the United States, as soon as the blood banks opened their doors, there was a flood of donors coming in to give a unit of blood to help the victims from Pulse. In Orlando, there were several places where over 1000 citizens lined up to await giving blood. GoFundMe, an internet site dedicated to collecting money to help folk’s causes, has, as of this morning, collected more that $1.7 million dollars in contributions, to be applied to helping the victims of the shooting.
Pleasant Dreams
Bee Man Dave
