For anyone interested...a follow-up from a very sad example of what happens when ignorance, hate, and extremism meet. It was a case I was following and I stumbled across this update...
Unitarian Universalist Congregation shooting in Tennessee
About Me
- Claire
- Welcome to my world! I am a 31 year young free spirit, wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend, trying to live my life to the fullest. I have made it my career goal to dedicate my work to helping individuals advocate for themselves, in effect working towards making one single soft voice into a loud BOOM that people can't ignore. I am the Program Coordinator for a Vocational Rehabilitation program working with survivors of brain injury in the VERY exciting Virginia Peninsula. Other than the location I love my job and feel passionately about what I do and the people I am fortunate enough to get to know, work with and serve. And the fact that my coworkers rock helps too. First and foremost though I am a mom to a beautiful almost! 3 year old little boy named Brian. He is the apple of my eye, my reason for being, and just about the most hilarious person you will ever meet. Steve and I agree that we could just sell the TV and depend on him for entertainment. And Steve, my soul mate, husband and best friend who I have known and loved for almost 9 years...(who is not much for the mushy and would blush or grimace reading this) I am a lucky woman and have a wonderful life!

I read the headline and thought it said he was "later released." I was outraged! I read the article, waiting to hear about the overcrowded jail conditions related to his release and was pleasantly relieved when I realized my mistake! Thanks for the update. (And please don't give birth at work - at least while J's there.)
Ha ha ha...Jason would be mortified! I really don't want to give birth at work, there is a member who used to be a nurse who I swear is praying that I go into labor at the office so she can deliver the baby. She talks about it almost every day that she sees me. I would prefer to be near an anethesiologist and in a sterile hospital environment.
Can you imagine if that shooter had been released? Wow- as I remember one of the people killed rushed the shooter to keep him from shooting any of the children in the recital. So sad...I grew up in a Unitarian Universalist congregation, that's why I was keeping up with the story.
