Support for the Orlando shooting victims

[Just Jim]

I don't know if this is appropriate... I guess I don't care.  
For those of you that haven't heard yet, there was a brutal and horrific shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida last night.  

The last count was 50 dead and over 50 wounded.   

I don't want to get political about this... I just want to post something to show support and solidarity for the victims and their families.

Thank you

I would not call it a lifestyle, but what you are. Even though it seems the killer could have picked anyone that bothered him.

It had nothing to do with that. The shooter swore allegiance to a certain 'group.'

It's a horrible thing to have happened.

I have other thoughts on the subject, but they're not appropriate for the forum.

The best thing any individual can do in response to this is keep living your life, and keep seeking happiness.  And give someone a hug today.  It won't save the world, but it certainly won't hurt.

If everyone did this seriously every day, the world would be orders of magnitude better.

I live just a couple hours from there, it's really sickening someone would shoot people down based on their sexual preferences, my condolences to the friends and families of those who were killed or wounded

Please, everyone... I ask this not turn political!  
The reason I posted it is because I live not far from Orlando, and I'm there a lot, and to be it feels to me like the victims were my neighbors.

I'm just north of Tampa, less than 2 hours from there.  I've been to Orlando more times than I can remember.  With Disney and Universal and all the rest, it's an amazing and beautiful place to visit.

I'm central Florida and I've been to Disney all the time so I know it well.

if I can help with any Orlando efforts your leading let me know, I was running a IRC chat yesterday so I'm trying.

Bruh, the feels. I'm neutral about the whole gay issue but shootings on anyone with a specific belief is horrible. My condolences to the families.

[KasperVld]

My thoughts go out to the victims and their families.

I'm not starting any myself.  I wish I could, but I'm too old and on disability.  

But I've already seen some wonderful images and video of vigils and blood donating drives all over the state.  
Word has it in Orlando there were lines of people wanting to donate blood that wrapped around city blocks.

No ones too old- and some of the best charitable things can be done for no cash, but full spirit... Like running an IRC for those who need to just talk about it. Just pass word around and we can restart that.

I have no doubts- tragedies like that can rebond the community. It's amazing.

life is sweet ... i don't watch the infos and news since a few year so i can focus on finding back the will to eat and sleep wich tend to miss me ...
(lot of trouble to get appetite and to sleep but because sometime body is exhausted more than the mind yo do sort of)
