Empire State Building goes dark in honor of Pittsburgh synagogue victims

The Empire State Building in New York City went dark on Sunday night to honor the 11 victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting over the weekend.

One day after the congregants were killed in an anti-Semitic hate crime, the Empire State Building went dark with an orange mast, "shining a light on gun violence awareness," the building's Twitter account posted.

The color orange is used by many gun violence prevention advocates to symbolize the issue.

The suspected shooter, Robert Bowers, opened fire at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood on Saturday morning, police said. The gunman killed at least 11 congregants and wounded four police officers, as well as two others.

2. Extremely powerful messages to normal folk...but I'll bet that IQ45 is grinnin' that He Did It.

He has the power to shut down these architectural icons of the people. Ugh.

3. give them what they crave?

The big problem is that a RW nut will be able to claim "look what I did. I shut down the Eiffel Tower; I shut down the Empire State Bldg; I got 72 hrs of attention..." Narcissists like POTUS know this and revel in it.

What should/could the media do? Deny coverage? I have no answer, but there must be something better than what we do now that rewards them.
