I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for those who were in the lockdown zone to try to return to their normal lives today. Walking Alexander Wednesday evening and having a stranger run out of their house to tell you to get inside because a shooter is on the loose and spending the rest of the evening and next day hanging out inside cautious but not in danger is freaky enough, I can’t imagine being right in the middle of it. Even more, nothing I will ever deal with in regards to Alexander’s father will ever be as hard as losing your child’s father all together. My heart aches for them in a way I never knew before Alexander.

I shouldn’t have had to feel compelled to report a page for J Bourque on fb because people don’t have the discretion to understand how distasteful it is and how it plays right into what he was trying to achieve. And in regards to the “raw footage”..even though that video does not show the police officer being shot and has been shared by the media does not make it okay to share…that is someones loved on. Can you imagine seeing that and knowing that on the other side of that window those shots are killing your husband/brother/son/friend?

Stop sensationalizing this situation and in doing so, giving glory to the killer and start respecting and supporting those whose lives will forever be changed by the the loss of their loved ones.
