A Prayer for AuroraFor those who lost their lives, may you find peace in the presence of your savior, whoever that may be.

For those who were gravely injured, may you find the physical and emotional strength to stand again.

Deaths Diary (Entry 26)

Entry Twenty-Six

It is said that "guns kill people." That's a true enough statement. Guns have the power to do many things, including kill. That said, I recollect that, 2000 years ago, when guns were not created, that people were being killed then too. So is it guns to blame for the death of people, or is it the man holding the gun? In the case of the massacre at Aurora, Colorado….it was a man who I blame for that atrocity.

I've heard the phrase "a mind is a terrible thing to waste," and I believe that…it is a terrible thing to waste. The human mind is capable of so much…can do so many things! It can bring healing and it can

Hope for Auroraby *nma-art

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Emotional

©2012-2013 *nma-art

"Batman is a symbol that we don’t have to be afraid of criminals. It’s a symbol of hope."
"...as a symbol, I can be incorruptible, everlasting"

Let's spread art like this so that in the wake of the horrible shooting in Auroa, CO's Dark Knight showing, we can look at Batman and see hope to overcome the fear of criminals like Holmes and live our lives.

And to grieve for and honor those who lost their lives (and their loved ones) from an act of violence.

The symbol of Batman means we should not cower in corners. And having the sanctity and suspension of belief of the theater violated from one disturbed person has left us shaken. Let us Rise.

Christopher Nolan's statement:
"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community.

I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime.

The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.

Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families."

This piece was featured in an article "Batman artwork draws hope from Tragedy: Memorial art expresses optimism in wake of mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado"

I do not own the rights to the bat-chalk image and do not intend to infringe any copyrights. It's art and meant to be a memorial to the victims in Aurora.*

Now there's a 'Hope' that'll never turn to 'Dope' or 'Nope'.

What happened there was very said and the person who committed the vile act is a complete monster.

What were those two comments flagged as spam?

The spam was just links to travel sights and stuff. Going on the profile of the person, it looks like that's all they do.
