“Heya, Stop By When You Drop These Off!”

Hi folks, Paul here. It’s early AM Tuesday EST; I’m in Raleigh for a visit with family, and I’ve spent a lot of time processing how to respond to the weekend’s tragedy in Charlottesville, VA.

Heather Heyers lost her life at the hands of a… madman, bigot, terrorist; these words all apply to her murderer. Speaking with the Huffington Post, her mother said:

I don’t want her death to be a focus for more hatred, I want her death to be a rallying cry for justice and equality and fairness and compassion. 

As a big believer in all these things, I want to be clear: while this blog generally isn’t meant to be political, we wholeheartedly condemn Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

It’s surreal to even have to say that. But given the weekend’s events, it’d feel wrong not to speak out about it.

Paul

all acts of terrorism and mass violence are cowardly, all of them are horrific, all of them are deeply upsetting, all of them are tragic

but the fact that majority of that arena last night was kids? the fact they knew ariana’s fanbase is made up largely of kids under 18, and they intentionally targeted them? that makes this a whole different level of fucked up. who the fuck targets children, who sets out to take the lives of children?

please, if/when they release the name of the attacker - don’t fuckin use it. don’t say their name. i don’t give a fuck who they were, they want you to give a fuck. they want you to spread their name so everyone knows they were responsible. don’t.

say the names of the victims. let their names be remembered. start with Georgina Callander who went out last night at 18 years old to see her idol and didn’t make it home.
