Very little is known at this point about what happened this morning at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, but it seems that innocent people who gathered to pray were injured or killed by at least one gunman.
What we do know is that hate is once again the culprit. And although it feels like there is nothing we can do, there is one thing we can do.
Love. We can love.
Massive outpours of love can drown some of the hate. So I'm gonna step out of my usually snarky suit and speak straight from the heart. I propose right now, wherever you are, show love, say love, think love. Love in some way.
Let's create a massive Milwaukee love rally from wherever we are, right now, and send it out into the world, to the place we all hope exists where thoughts become actions.
We can do this, Milwaukee. Love. Now.
