There are those among us who attempt to find solace in "faith" when a senseless tragedy such as this occurs too close to home. There are the pathetic platitudes, expressions of "hope" that the one who is gone is in a "better place".
There are the expressions of outrage, and calls for "Justice", another chimeraic concept, the existence of which is as doubtful as the concept of the mythical "better place".
When all the expressions of grief have been made, when all the criticism and recriminations are retracted, when the sermon has been preached, the final goodbyes said, we say "it is all in GOD's hands now."
I have no "faith" in the common understanding of the word. I know there is certainly no such thing as "JUSTICE".
Here are a couple of things I think WE can do however, to make THIS world a better place.
1. I have some money, maybe a thousand dollars, I would like to be used as REWARD money for information leading to the arrest of the killer or killers of Darrent Williams.
2. I have another thousand that I would like to see go toward setting up a trust fund for Darrent's young children.
If these efforts seem worthy, let me know what you think. Let's see if we can do something good.
