The story behind the picture - All are welcome

Véleményhalmaz - belelehet ásni magad- szabad vagy rá

Nehéz véleményt alkotni.  Szomorú ami történt. Az pedig még szomorúbb, hogy a most folyó tüntetés, már csak nyomában emlékeztet az eredeti célra. Tüntetés, egyenjogúság, fosztogatások, verések, lövöldözések.

Nekem akkor is Jézus jut eszembe. Az erőszakmentes hozzáállás. És az, hogy erőszakkal nem lehet erőszakot legyőzni.

It's just hard to say anything. It's a sad story, protests-riots, peacful people had been attacked, politics got involved, religion had been used for political goals... I think we sould not forget what Jesus teached in the Mathew. "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."Mathew 7,12 NIV

what the family is saying

“I Understand y’all upset, but I doubt y’all half as upset as I am,” Floyd said. “So if I’m not over here wilding out, if I’m not over here blowing up stuff, if I’m not over here messing up my community, then what are y’all doing? What are y’all doing? Y’all doing nothing! Because that’s not going to bring my brother back, at all. It may feel good for the moment, just like when you drink. But when it comes down, you’re going to wonder what you did. My family is a peaceful family. My family is God-fearing.”


A pastor from St. John's stuff- not sure- she were handing out water to protesters ....
