The families are asking for patience I hope that can be displayed. As a woman of color it is difficult not to jump to conclusions but I will once again reserve judgement and pray that justice is done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-heart-is-breaking/page/2#post-1484577 Fri, 01 May 2015 01:40:55 +0000 DonnaF 1484577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Janet, it has been interesting to see the differences and spin that even our local stations across the country broadcast.&nbsp; I am grateful for the other things that folks have posted on FB.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-heart-is-breaking/page/2#post-1484296 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 20:27:24 +0000 Thistle 1484296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first I have heard of it. Yes, I have been purposely ignoring the news and focusing on enjoying my little one.</p> <p>I always have such a hard time understanding these things. How can the police be so brutal and violent? I want to believe the best in them, that they are here to serve and protect, and yet . . . But then,&nbsp;I don't walk in their shoes all day. I don't see what they see and feel constantly threatened. We are one of the few countries with legalized guns, so that has to play a part as well. </p> <p>I also don't understand those that turn to destruction, tearing apart their own neighborhoods, out of anger and frustration.</p> <p>I can only offer prayers and wishes to stay safe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-heart-is-breaking/page/2#post-1484100 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 18:50:24 +0000 Anonymous 1484100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Watching the nightly news coverage of what's going on in Baltimore is indeed very troubling. I hope and pray this stuff will die down quickly, and that you won't have to go into the city again until it's all over with. Stay safe!</p> <p>I'm praying for our entire nation. We have way to much violence going on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-heart-is-breaking/page/2#post-1484098 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 18:50:21 +0000 Janet 1484098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone. I've been crazy busy this week on top of all that is happening, so I haven't had much of a chance to chip in with the efforts to come together with the community, clean up, etc. I did sneak in a walk down to the ballpark yesterday (two blocks from my studio) to witness (from afar, through the gates) the first few innings of the history-making first MLB baseball game ever to be held with no spectators.&nbsp;</p> <p>I encourage everyone who is paying attention to the media coverage to take it with a grain of salt. There is an element of national media here who are reporting things in a sensationalized way. They focus on anything that burns or bleeds, and gloss over the huge outpouring of support and unity that many people are showing in the face of crisis. I have friends who work in independent, local, and national media, so I don't want to paint all of the media with the same brush, but it's striking to me to see the amazing videos my friends are posting of HUGE crowds of peaceful demonstrations of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, while a major news network runs the same 10 minute loop of video of a building burning and someone throwing rocks. There is more going on here than that. I am touched and amazed to see that other cities have picked up on the demonstrations in solidarity. I hope that all of these gatherings are peaceful and get news coverage for the right reasons.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't condone the actions of the people who have destroyed property or caused injury. But this didn't happen overnight, it's been a long time coming. And all the national guard tanks in the world won't do a thing to solve the root cause of the destruction and despair. I hope we can all work together to make this better. It goes very deep in our society and will take an enormous commitment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-heart-is-breaking/page/2#post-1483893 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:17:42 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1483893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, my thoughts have been with all those in Baltimore. &nbsp;I can only imagine your pain as this happens to your hometown. &nbsp;There is such hope in some of the wonderful inspiring moments of this chaos. &nbsp;Sending you hugs and prayers for your beloved city. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-heart-is-breaking/page/2#post-1482337 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 19:55:56 +0000 Sal 1482337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you, it is so very sad.

It's horrible to see it progress. I can't even believe a fire truck hose got slashed.<br />My Dad was getting his PhD at Hopkins during the MLK Jr riots. He was telling me about it today. Hopkins shut down, he still drove to the campus to get his research notes, just in case. There was a 3pm curfew. The police let the rioters destroy their own neighborhood but kept it contained. Not sure if anything is better today.<br />May 1st is big protest day in Seattle. Two years ago anarchists got involved and destroyed a big part of downtown. So I wonder if we'll get repercussions out here. </p>
