For all of the messages posted about the May Day Mac Arthur Park Rally..
To all of you who've forwarded your support, thank you, you've made things easier..
To everyone who wrote criticizing my actions, thank you, as well. It's all food for thought, and thank God, the Constitution, (add to that blogging!) we have a way to exchange opinions freely.
Freedom of speech, freedom to cover and present the news. They are blessings...
My prayers are for those freedoms, for the people who were in the park,
the journalists trying to do their job, for the cops and the department ( I have always been a big supporter of law enforcement, indeed, my husband is a retired officer), and truly for all of us..... may we learn from this, so that it may never happen again...
May we all - journalists, officers, demonstrators- be able to do what we need to do, without it getting to that point - ever again - just because a bunch of agitators somehow managed to wrestle control and create just the kind of horrible image that they probably wanted in the first place...
With best wishes for all our viewers...and my deepest gratitude for caring - whatever your opinion may be....
