The numbers of demonstrators keep growing and I'm in profound awe. George was murdered, but his death was not in vain so to speak.

It's so deeply sorrowful that he suffered this, but it brought this about that many, many have said enough!

I would even go even further to say it could be seen as 'martyrdom'.

"Blessed Be Your Memory Eternal, George."

I think when you have leaders who are racists and don't have much to do with science, this is where you end up.

Maybe now people will pay more attention to who is in the driver's seat!
