However this solidarity is possible even without a tragedy and this is what needs to become far more important than any of your politics or political divisions.

Rich.... TwentyOne opened this topic because I asked her to





I didn't have that bit of backstory, when I got started. I just knew the earlier one had gone hopelessly political.



That was partially My fault, Rich.

That's why I asked TwentyOne for this one.

I just want people to have 24 hours to grieve.

K?

I did. I cried for the lost. I'm crying still.

24 hours. Is that so hard?

Give the families a chance.

I don't know why they had to die.

Get your heart in order.

For the lost.....

Status: offline 		There but by the grace of God go I or my ex. She used to live in the area and watched movies in that very theater. The fact we all have a common denominator with the victims because it was random and could have happened in any town to any of us is frightening.

Maniacal and well thought out deadly violence in action . . . the waste of life and sorrow it brings to all that it touches is very sad. My sympathy is with the victims and their families.

Status: offline 		I'm always puzzled by the motivation of whack jobs like this guy. What could you possibly get out of going into a random crowd of people and taking lives like that? It's just chaos and evil. The senseless killing is what bothers me the most about it, that these people, were simply living their lives and it abruptly ends for no valid reason. A year or two ago a guy walked to up to the park just down the street from me and opened fire on a woman holding her baby. Shot her right in the head. The guy who did it was living out of a storage unit and was disgruntled about losing his job. But again I'm thinking ok, but this random woman holding her baby did nothing at all to you. She had nothing to do with your losses. So how does this possibly give you any sense of satisfaction? Fortunately, that particular woman survived, in this case, how many families will want so badly to have just another minute or two with their loved ones to express their feelings.

Tragic losses, that nothing in the world could ever make up for.

That was probably My fault, Rich. It just makes Me so mad. People couldn't even let families bury their dead before we all had to bitch about gun control.

I don't ask for many things often in this joint. On this subject, I did.

there is assistance urgently needed by the victims.
there is assistance urgently needed in all of our communities.
if this tragedy has touched your heart, please take your day to mourn, but then get out in the community and put your sadness into action.

here is a list of agencies in Aurora that can (or cannot, as the case may be) use assistance.
or google your own town and find a cause you feel passionate about. think globally, act locally.

Bonfils Blood Center
After sending 342 units of blood to five local hospitals treating the victims of Friday’s tragic shooting, the Bonfils Blood Center in Denver is desperate for donations, Tiffany Anderson, marketing and communications director, told the Huffington Post via email. The 70-year-old bank particularly needs donations of O-negative and A-negative blood in order to replenish its supply. Bonfils is no longer accepting walk-ins, but you can schedule an appointment by calling 303.363.2300 or visiting the organization’s website here.

Aurora Mental Health Center
The Aurora Mental Health Center is offering crisis counseling to anyone in need. Those seeking help can walk in to the center or call 303.617.2300 to find out more information.

United Way Denver
United Way Denver is working to reunite families with lost loved ones who they believe may have been victims of the Aurora theater shooting. Those looking for missing relatives can contact the organization’s 2-1-1 hotline for help.

Thrive With Confidence Foundation
Thrive With Confidence has organized a local gathering and donation drive in Aurora, Colo., aimed at supporting the community in this time of need. The meeting will provide support for those affected by the tragedy. Donations, such as food and bottled water, are encouraged. For more information, visit the event's Facebook page. Donations can be delivered directly to the Rec Center at 15528 east Hampden circle, Aurora, CO 80013

The American Red Cross
The American Red Cross Colorado Chapters dispensed food, water and mental health professionals to Gateway High School, which served as an evacuation site for victims and witnesses after the shooting. The organization is not accepting donations at this time for this specific effort.

The Denver Center For Crime Victims
The local nonprofit is providing bilingual/bicultural counselors to victims and families affected by the tragedy. The organization provides resources such as financial aid, provisions, support groups and more during times of trauma.

OK. I can do this.

(I appreciate your grace.)

Already too soon, it reminds Me of Columbine.

The expression, "The gnashing of teeth" really does happen.

I do really think that people should put their political bullshit aside and let families bury their dead.

The parents.... The siblings....Let them bury their dead.

I'll debate with you sixteen ways to Sunday about circumstance. But not yet.

This thread is for grief.

Give your condolences here for the lost.

Tomorrow will we bicker about bullshit.

But not today.

Today we will mourn for families.

What say you?




Whatever the politics, my thoughts go out to the people of CO, and to anyone else who has been touched by this terrible, terrible thing.
