John Oliver's response to Orlando shooting

Awesome!

He and his show are awesome

This morning I read that over 5300 people donated blood in Orlando alone. There were several hundred in my little town and all the small towns all up and down the I-4 corridor. Businesses opened their doors for the people standing in line to use the facilities and donated food and water to those in line (and to the law enforcement officials working the horrible scene.) Athletes showed up to talk to people in line. Almost $2 million dollars has been raised in 24 hours to help off set medical and funeral costs. 

It seems hokey to say that love conquers hate, but the truth is that it does. We, as a society forget sometimes, but when we are reminded who and what we are we come together like nobody's business and if there is ever a time when we come at a problem with one mind, woe be unto those who oppose us.

Awesome! These are absolutely the types of stories surrounding a tragedy that should be focused on.

This is from the US Embassy in Denmark tonight - a memorial for the people killed in Orlando, I think we were about thousand people.

I borrowed the picture from the ambassadors FBpage.

I believe that if news media focused on these types of stories instead of imortalizing perpetrators with all the photos of THEM, perhaps fewer people would think going out with a bang was a good idea

What a beautiful tribute.

Now all of us can stand for a ban on assault weapons since we are standing in tribute already.

It was one of many that were held in various UK cities today
