Unfortunately, I have covered mass shootings multiple times in my career. This is the first time I can recall getting message after message from viewers like this.
@ReporterAshley @6502_ftw My child is queer. My friends are queer. I’m still upset about the Pulse shooting in Orlando and the Otherside lounge bombing in atlanta, my home. This doesn’t go away for us.
@sherrod_im @ReporterAshley @6502_ftw The guy who runs this place is a vet with PTSD who helped stop this violence here in CO Springs. I’m going to buy a shirt and try to focus on the good he (and others) did: atrevidabeerco.com
@sherrod_im @ReporterAshley @6502_ftw Sadly many of the bigots who view us as less than human never really went away, they were just cowed into silence for a while. They may not be the majority anymore, and I don't think they're growing in number - but they are still there and their hatred is intensifying.
@sherrod_im @ReporterAshley @6502_ftw I use to dance at the Otherside. The heartbreak never ends.
@sherrod_im @ReporterAshley @6502_ftw Yep, people always forget about the Otherside bombing. I really miss that place..
