Thank you for your words and for so beautifully articulating what so many of us feel. My heart is crushed by what happened to this lovely young soul and so many others. Peace and light to you, Fred.

This was too hard for me to read because I could not face the evil that had befallen this precious life. I am angry and I do not understand how this happened! We are so protective of our children and I cannot imagine such evil happening to a child. I can only imagine how his mother feels. She will probably blame herself for not being able to protect him. I pray she is comforted by her family and friends.

Another brilliant piece. You have captured the heartbreak so many are feeling, the absurdity, the lack of humanity, the grief, the sadness, and the anger. I am without words for the state of the world right now.. thank you for sharing yours.

This breaks my heart in a million pieces. A xenophobic and racist monster killed this baby right here in the United States of America! He didn't do ANYTHING wrong, but was killed senselessly because of his ethnic background.

The message being sent, loud and clear, is that the lives of certain people matter, while the lives of others don't.

We can't do this; we just can't. 😥😪
