In the Midst of Tragedy

Reading a few articles, these pictures really touched me. Thoughts to those who died and their families.

Thank you for sharing these.

I felt they needed to be since the mass media never will.

Thank you for sharing these pictures. They've touched me in ways I can't even express.

Evil sells, but compassion and love is buried on the back page.

These were nice to see. I hope those people remain safe as well.

I hope so, too.

All I've seen has been negative stuff on the news. Thanks for posting these and showing another side to this tragedy.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

The media is very one sided.

Lovely photos and a relief to see...

[ninja007.livejournal.com]

These photos are making the rounds of fb. Every since this happened, there has been such vitriol statements (on twitter too) that I felt these photos to be refreshing and a relief. It reaffirms that the protestor's were a mob (reiterate mob mentality) and not the entire population. The mass media have made it seems as if we should just bomb the hell outta them, forgetting there are innocents (as usual).

There are billions of peaceful Muslims and a few extremist, many uneducated and easily influenced.

That's very cool that people are speaking out about this. I love when people rise to the occasion and are amazing. I think we forget that it happens because the bad stuff is so hard to grok.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We are very short-sided, there are billions of peaceful Muslims and a few who who take the extreme, like in any religion. Reports say that regualr Libyans tried to save Stevens.

Beautiful photos. Thank you.

On the other hand (and this might not be very popular), I'd like to see Americans with similar signs: One goofball film maker does not represent the entire US or the First Amendment.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

It would require America to take its head out of its ass on occasion to do so.

Thanks for posting these! I've been bombarded with the negative side of this and needed to see these photos.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, hon!

[shepsgirl.livejournal.com]

Great photos. I've travelled to many places over the years, some of them worn torn and troubled but they've always been filled with loving amazing people. The media likes to tarnish entire countries with the same brush and highlight the extremists which only instigates more ill feeling. There is good everywhere but its rarely something the media are interested in.

Thanks for these! Proof positive that its always a few rotten apples that spoil an entire barrel, and that applies to both sides.
