Our hearts and prayers go out to the families, friends and co-workers of Alison Parker and Adam Ward. Today’s tragic events are among the most senseless and sad that our Valley has experienced in many years and we pray that healing might begin for all who mourn the loss of Alison and Adam.
To that end we would like to strongly suggest that anything to do with the individual that perpetrated this horrific act or the materials he posted on social media be treated as part of the crime itself and summarily ignored and deleted if possible. Indeed pressure to remove such offensive material should be levied at every opportunity it is encountered. There is not much most of us can do after such a tragedy but we can do the next right thing.
