Such a contrast to the way things were handled in Ferguson, or in Baltimore. I have been entirely impressed by the African American community in Charleston. They are cohesive, classy, well spoken and civilized. It’s amazing what an influence the Christian faith has had in this community ..... God Bless them all in their grief — may they heal as much as possible in due time, and know that someday they will be with their loved ones again in the heavens above.
I hate to pee in the punchbowl but...
These people are in shock. When my son died, I wasn’t thinking critically. I was stunned and I was sweetness and kumbaya for a couple of weeks.
I pray, for them, that they continue to feel and act this way. Anger is a terrible burden. But realizing you’ve given absolution before you can feel your anger may be worse.
