4. Especially moving,

considering the flowers are made from sea grass, the same material used by the Basket Ladies to make the famous and unique Charleston baskets. A friend of mine made one for me when I retired from the Charleston Navy Hospital. It is among my most prized posessions. Thanks for posting.

10. Thank you for the explanation.

I was wondering about the flowers. They are beautiful, but obviously had an innate meaning that I was unaware of.

[Raine1967]

18. That was the first thing I noticed as well. Such a beautiful

and touching front page.

28. To think these beautiful people welcomed him

They were acting Christ-like, yet this kids hate was too ingrained. So very sad.

[niyad]

31. please do not refer to the terrorist dylann roof as a "kid"-- he is an adult. referring to him as

a "kid" is a reichwing tactic to make him seem less lethal and ugly than he really is. just as the reverse was true in portraying trayvon martin (legally a minor) as a "hulked up man"

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

33. He looks like a kid to me. So did Trayvon. Sorry you don't like what my eyes are telling me.

BTW, my kids are 23 and 25.

[niyad]

34. you are entirely missing the point here. whatever your eyes are telling you, this MAN is TWENTY-

ONE YEARS old. he is an ADULT. referring to him as a "kid" reduces the seriousness of his heinous crime.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

36. Not to me.

[niyad]

37. not to you, but to many others. that is the point of calling him a "kid", and calling trayvon

martin a "hulked up man"

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

38. Never would have called Trayvon that.

[niyad]

39. you didn't, but others did. this is about framing and perception, which is what I have been

trying to get across here. words matter.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

40. Ok - thanks for the heads up!

[Rhythm]

29. Thank you for sharing this...

[d_legendary1]

30. Excellent Cover

May they rest in peace.

[niyad]

32. k and r. may their families, all who love them, find peace, and may there be justice.

[myrna minx]

35. Powerful and heartbreaking.
