Movie event was winding down. Though this wasn’t the only despicable act of
violence last week, it is the one I’m talking about in this post.
The volunteers and organizers that were assaulted at gunpoint have greatly
appreciated the calls of support and concern for their wellbeing. Kristina
Lund, Vincent Murray and Karen Peterson are doing better though trauma can
linger, ribs can be slow to heal and bruises persist. They were working with
police through the weekend in an effort to bring legal resolution to the issue.
They also have been univocally clear on what they wish as a community response:
go to this Tuesday’s excellent event, don’t shrink back from the jackals who
destroy public spaces, and enjoy the entertainment and each other’s company as
neighbors.
So, let’s join them this Tuesday 7pm @ the amphitheater in the Basin (22nd Ave.
and Quincy St. NE) – Alicia Corbett will perform and the film “Bob Roberts”
shows at dusk.
