Vegas Strong - We Stand Together



Morning Everyone - today's post is also on Vegas Reviews

Vegas Strong - We Stand Together
Today is a time to reflect on the bravery and courage of the people at the concert, where humanity grows stronger together in times of unspeakable evil.
Throughout the unmistakable chaos there were men and women in shining armour, assisting the injured as best as they could. Some using their own bodies to shield others from the assault of raging bullets.
The wrath of evil may have been present, but in between this terrible war zone, the love for humanity was brought together.

Strangers were helping strangers.

In one instance, a young man was dying, a man from Maple Ridge, B.C., Canada, here in Las Vegas to enjoy the concert.  An American woman (Las Vegas bartender) beside him reached over to help him.

“I reached over and I was holding this guy’s hand, and I could kind of feel him squeeze my fingers and then all of a sudden, like…he wasn’t squeezing my fingers anymore.”

23 year old Jordan McIIdoon died, but he didn't die alone. This woman's small gesture of kindness is a glimpse of how humanity sticks together in times of horror. To Jordon’s last minutes, a touch of kindness helped him, where his soul will most probably take on a new journey into the cosmos of life.

Thrown into the midst of a war zone, humanitarian efforts were evident throughout the horrific evening. People were using their vehicles to race the injured to the hospitals. Others were carrying the wounded to safety. First responders and the Las Vegas Police were protecting and assisting. The whole community of Las Vegas are pulling together to help anyway they can. And it's not over… today, Vegas Hotels and motels are giving free rooms to assist the families of the victims.

It's evident. We are NOT going to let evil win.

In fact, we will be strong for Las Vegas as humanity stands together, in defiance to hatred, where hate has no leg to stand on. Peace and Love is the human way, no matter the colour, race or religion.

Thinking of the strength of humanity, I wrote these lyrics:

We Are The People of the Universe by Bari Demers
We are the people of the universe
We are the people, We are the loving people
We are the beautiful people who rule the earth in love and peace
We the people who stand together in defiance to all types of hatred
We are a force to be reckoned, as we can never be broken
We are the Lovers of humanity
We are the people, the only people of the universe, so far…
May you join us, for We are the loving people
Come forth across the nations
Come together as one, for We are the people of the universe.

I would like to conclude, the grief of the families of the victims is extremely heart breaking, to say the least. My deepest condolences and thoughts are to all those effected.

As a dad who lost his daughter I know how distraught parents, children and loved ones are feeling today - my deepest condolences…
