A
Staff
are

ready?
Chris
is
channeling
good
to
go.
A
A
This
is
a
gathering
because
of
the
unprecedented
tragic
events
which
have
occurred
in
our
community
on
monday
march
22nd.
We
are
gathering
for
the
purposes
of
healing
supporting
each
other
hearing
from
our
community
about
what
is
needed.
As
we
take
the
next
steps
to
recover
from
this,
we
will
start
with
a
bit
of
housekeeping
so
that.
F
E
Thank
you
sam.
My
name
is
brenda
rittner,
I'm
with
our
communication
and
engagement
team,
and
we
are
happy
to
be
supported
tonight
by
interpreters,
for
both
spanish
and
bosnian
elena.
E
Do
we
have
interpreters
for
concurrent
interpretation
at
this
point?
Yes,
it
looks
like
we
already
have.
You
sorry
looks
like
we
already
have
you

a
channel
elena.
Can
you
come
to
english.
E
G
E
E
E
E
We
also
have
interpretation
into
asl
american
sign
language,
you'll,
see
right
now,
rey,
who
is
in
a
black
shirt,
and
if
you
would
like
to
make
sure
he
stays
on
your
screen,
no
matter
who
is
speaking
you
can
use,
you
can
go
to
his
little
box
on
your
screen
and
click
the
three
buttons
on
his
bot
and
pin
him
you'll
choose
the
function
called
pin
and
that
will
keep
rey
on
your
screen,
no
matter
who
else
may
be
speaking.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much,
as
I
think
you
are
all
aware.
We
have
had
a
horrific
tragedy
strike
boulder.
We've
lost
10
members
of
our
community,
and
we
are
here
tonight
to
discuss
that
to
heal,
to
begin
the
process
of
figuring
out
our
next
steps
together
to
hear
from
the
community
what
you
think
our
next
steps
need
to
be.
I
want
to
take
just
a
moment
and
acknowledge
the
the
grief
that
the
families
of
the
victims
must
be
feeling.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
the
first
responders
who
responded
monday,
both
from
older
police,
one
of
whose
member
paid
the
ultimate
price
for
their
response
officer
eric
talley
and
thank
fire,
and
thank
all
the
surrounding
communities
who
sent
first
responders
to
this
incident.
They
saved
lives
and
they
helped
apprehend
the
suspect,
which
is,
of
course
critical
to
our
sense
of
closure
and
justice.
A
The
rest
of
our
city
staff
has
been
working
incredibly
hard,
both
to
set
up
for
this
meeting
to
get
all
the
folks
who
are
here
assembled
and
briefed
and
ready
to
to
do
their
part
and
many
other
things
such
as
assembling
the
links
to
be
able
to
donate,
to
support
the
victims,
families,
as
well
as
links
to
mental
health
services
that
we'll
discuss
more
later.
So
thank
you
to
our
staff
for
your
extremely
dedicated
service
to
all
of
us.
A
With
that
tonight
we
have
just
the
one
subject
and
we're
going
to
treat
it
as
a
matters
item,
so
we
have
invited
speakers
to
speak
to
us.
If
all
goes
well,
we
will
also
have
a
staff
representative
at
the
vigil
there's
a
vigil
that
will
be
starting
at
seven
o'clock
on
the
boulder
courthouse
lawn.
If
things
go
well,
we
will
also
hear
from
a
few
people
who
are
at
that
vigil,
but
at
the
very
least,
our
staff
member
chris
messchuck,
the
acting
city
manager,
will
deliver
remarks
from
the
city
to
that
vigil.

C
A
E
Marina
sorry
you're
in
the
english
channel,
so
let's
meet
you
for
now
and
you
and
I
will
keep
working
on
it.
A
Very
good
one
more
time.
Thank
you,
reverend,
roger
and
rabbi
green
for
supplying
that
wonderful
invocation.
To
start
this
terrible
meeting
I
want
to
pass
along.
I
received
a
call
today
from
u.s
president
joe
biden,
and
he
expressed
his
deepest
sympathies
to
all
of
boulder,
specifically
as
well
to
the
victims,
families
and
also
called
out
officer,
tally
by
name
for
his
heroic
efforts
and
sacrifice
that
he
made
there's
more
to
the
conversation
that
I
had
with
the
president,
and
I
will
reference
that
when
we
speak
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
tonight.
A
N
Thank
you,
mayor
weaver.
It
was
you
know
when
you
mentioned
at
the
start
of
the
meeting.
This
is
the
agenda.
Of
course.
It's
all
consuming.
What
else
can
can
possibly
be
thought
of
or
talked
about?
As
you
know,
not
only
do
I
have
the
great
honor
to
be
governor
of
the
state
of
colorado,
but
I'm
a
boulder
native,
a
boulder
resident,
and
you
know
what
many
of
us
knew.
The
victims
firsthand
new
people
who
knew
them
boulder
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
a
small
tight-knit
community.
N
I
have
several
friends
who
lost
somebody
that
they
cared
about,
that
they
knew
well
at
the
king
super's
killing,
but
whether
you
knew
some
of
the
someone
who
personally
or
not
who
perished
this
was
a
blow
to
the
entire
community.
It
really
when
we
see
these
tragedies
happen
in
different
parts
of
our
country.
N
Everyone
likes
to
think
that
wouldn't
happen
here,
and
it
happened
here,
and
it
happened
at
a
place
that
many
of
us
have
been
I've
shopped
there
you've
shopped
there
stopped
there
when
I'm
in
south
boulder
to
pick
up
food,
something
that
we
can
all
identify
with.
It
could
be
any
grocery
store
could
be
anywhere
in
our
state
anywhere
in
our
country.
N
These
were
10
men
and
women
just
going
about
their
day
like
you
and
me,
some
of
them
working
some
of
them
shopping,
making
a
quick
drip
trip
to
grab
dinner
and
on
monday
afternoon,
evil
manifested
and
cut
their
lives
short.
There's,
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
talk
in
the
days
and
weeks
ahead.
What
could
have
possibly
been
the
motive
or
the
motivation
or
why?
But
there
is
no
motive
or
explanation
that
can
justify
the
action
or
that
can
relieve
the
pain
of
those
left
behind
and
our
entire
community.
N
You
know,
grocery
stores
are,
are
really
a
hub
of
our
community
and
we
have
that
expectation
of
familiarity
of
safety
and
that's
why,
for
many
of
us,
this
attack
feels
so
personal.
That
could
be
any
of
us
at
any
store
at
any
time,
and
I
want
you
to
know
this
tragedy
is
not
just
touch
boulder
in
our
state,
but
I've
seen
such
an
outpouring
of
love
and
support
from
people
across
the
country
and
across
the
world
for
boulder
and
our
residents
in
our
time
of
need.
N
Earlier
today,
I
stopped
by
king
super
table
mesa
and
saw
the
ad
hoc
memorial
and
paid
my
respects
laying
down
a
bouquet
of
flowers,
along
with
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
other
flowers,
and
I
was
very
heartened
to
see
so
many
of
our
fellow
boulder
rights
doing
the
same.
Many
brought
flowers
made
signs
laid
down
special
tokens.
Some
were
friends
of
people
that
were
lost
and
in
many
ways
just
two
days
after
the
attack.
It
still
doesn't
feel
fully
real.
It's
still
hard
to
hard
to
understand
that
this
happened
here.
N
I
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
give
ourselves
the
space
to
grieve
the
space,
to
be
angry,
to
be
sad,
to
be
confused
to
ask
why
questions
that
can't
be
answered,
but
must
be
asked
and
nothing
about
what
happened.
Monday
is
normal,
and
we
must
do
everything
that
we
can
to
keep
ourselves
and
one
another
from
becoming
desensitized
to
this
pain,
even
if
that
seems
like
the
easier
choice
and
support
it's
important
to
own
this
pain
and
remember
what
happened.
N
O
Thank
you,
mayor
weaver,
and
thank
you
for
for
having
this
conversation.
O
This
is
something
that
we
have
all
seen
happen
across
the
country.
O
I
think
it
became
all
too
normal
right,
and
this
is
something
so
many
different
communities
have
experienced
personally
and
then
over
the
last
year.
It
feels
like,
as
nothing
was
normal
because
of
this
pandemic,
and
our
world
was
turned
upside
down
dozens
of
different
times
in
different
ways.
O
O
Unfortunately,
that
coming
back
to
normal,
includes
seeing
headlines
of
horrific
events
in
the
news.
That's
the
part
that
makes
me
so
angry
is
that,
back
to
normal
has
to
include
that.
O
I
think
we
all
want
to
get
back
to
a
level
of
normalcy.
I
also
think
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
reset
and
have
a
difficult
conversation
of
what
normal
is
or
what
it
should
be
and
what
is
a
healthy,
normal.
O
Clearly,
what
happened
in
atlanta
and
now
what
has
happened
in
our
community
is
not
normal
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
at
least
not
to
to
any
other
country
right.
So
I
guess,
first
and
foremost,
obviously
my
thoughts.
Our
thoughts
and
condolences
are
with
the
the
victims
and
with
the
families
and
those
that
all
of
the
all
of
us
that
have
been
touched
in
one
way
or
another
by
them
their
their
their
roles
in
our
community.
The
just
we've
all
been
touched
in
one
way
or
another.
O
There's
just
gonna
be
a
long
road
ahead
of
grief
for
the
families.
It's
going
to
be
an
impossibly
long
road.
We
have
to
be
there
to
show
up
for
them.
O
We
we
absolutely
need
to,
at
the
same
time,
concurrently
talk
about
what
can
be
done
to
prevent
something
like
this
happening
again
and
making
sure
that
something
good
comes
out
of
this,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
first
and
foremost,
our
our
role
also
is
to
be
neighbors
to
to
continue
to
show,
love
and
grace
and
and
and
be
there
for
the
community
and
for
the
individuals
that
are
hurting
so
much
today
and
into
the
near
future.
O
I'm
not
gonna,
I'm
not
gonna
get
into
a
lot
of
policy
discussion.
I
don't
think
that
would
necessarily
be
appropriate,
but
I
will
say
that
I
am.
I've
talked
to
several
of
you
over
the
last
couple
of
days,
they're
going
to
be
continued
conversations
about
what
can
happen
at
a
state
level.
O
Obviously,
the
the
court
ruling
around
boulder's
policy
is
top
of
mind.
It
has
to
be
part
of
the
conversation.
It
can't
end
there
because
we
know
that's
woefully
inadequate
to
create
a
safe
community.
O
So
those
are
conversations
that
are
happening
and
more
and
more
so
will
happen
in
the
forefront
as
a
community,
and
I
am
welcoming
that
conversation.
I
am
eager
to
be
a
part
of
that
conversation
in
in
any
and
every
way
that
makes
sense
or
where
I
can
be
helpful,
representative
mobile
and
representative
hooton,
and
I
just
had
a
town
hall
with
several
others
joining
and
we've.
We
had
this
conversation
about
what
needs
to
happen.
What
can
happen?
O
But,
but
that
can't
keep
us
from
seeking
solutions
and
making
taking
those
steps
that
will
make
our
community
safer.
So
what
I
guess
I
I'm
here
to
say
tonight
is
that
to
implore
that
that
our
community
gets
tighter
than
ever
and
that
our
community
shows
up
more
than
ever,
and
this
is
a
community
that
does
show
up
as
city
council
members.
O
I
think
you
guys
are
well
aware
of
that,
and
we
need
to
channel
that
as
a
community
towards
being
there
for
our
loved
ones
for
for
our
community
members,
so
we
can
get
out
of
this
and
build
something
that
is
stronger,
more
beautiful,
more
resilient,
more
safe
than
we've
ever
been,
but
at
the
same
time
we
all
need
to
think
about
how
we
can
make
sure
that
this
is
not
a
moment.
That
is
just
another
one
of
these
moments
in
this
country.
O
We
owe
it,
I
think,
to
the
victims.
We
owe
it
to
everyone.
Who's
touched
by
it
to
to
not
let
this
just
be
another
moment
and
not
let
this
be
the
return
to
normal
and
so
at
the
state
level.
O
What
I
can
assure
council
members
in
the
community
at
large
is
that
we
are
eager
to
have
those
conversations
they
are
going
to
be
difficult.
They
are
going
to
be
challenging.
I
can't
say
with
any
confidence
that
that
I
know
exactly
what
is
going
to
happen,
but
we
are
going
to
have
the
conversations
everything
is
going
to
be
on
the
table,
and
I
can
assure
you
that
the
the
the
delegation
from
the
city
of
boulder
is
going
to
be
in
lockstep
together
to
make
sure
that
we
do
whatever
is
within
our
power.
O
That
is
the
most
effective,
most
meaningful
change
that
that
we
can
get
done
to
make
sure
that
we
can
prevent
the
next
tragedy
from
happening,
including
making
sure
that
the
city
of
boulder
has
the
right
to
go
above
and
beyond
what
state
regulations
exist
or
will
exist
after
this
session.
O
O
This
is
something
that
we
have
to
work
on
together
over
time
and
many
would
say
it's
too
soon
to
talk
about
any
of
that,
and
I
get
that-
and
I
appreciate
that-
and
I
respect
that
perspective
personally
and
I
said
this
on
the
senate
floor
yesterday.
O
It's
it's
obviously
too
late.
It's
not
a
question
about.
Is
it
too
soon?
It
is
too
late
and
we
need
to
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
this
tragedy
doesn't
happen
again
and
that
our
communities,
including
boulder,
but
every
other
community
in
colorado,
is
safer
because
we
can't
let
this
become
the
return
to
normal,
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
O
My
door
is
always
open
to
have
these
conversations
and
to
strategize
and
to
talk
about
what
comes
next,
but
for
now
my
my
hearts
are
with
this
community
and-
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
inviting
me
and
having
this
important
conversation.
A
Thank
you
so
much
senator
much
appreciated.
Next,
we
will
go
to
congressman
joe
negus,
who
is
here
with
us.
P
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
good
evening
to
all
the
council
members
mayor
pro
tem
joseph
and
to
mayor
weaver
and
to
all
the
folks
who
are
listening
in
here
in
boulder.
I
wish
I
was
here
under
better
circumstances
to
to
see
you
all,
but
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
come
by
and
say
a
few
words
and
grateful
for
you
all,
holding
this
special
meeting
to
honor
the
victims
that
our
community
lost
on
monday
night.
P
I
know
I
don't
need
to
tell
each
of
you
how
devastating
the
the
events
of
the
past
few
days
have
been
for
our
community.
P
P
P
P
Certainly
federal
resources
will
be
available.
Our
office
always
stands
ready
and
able
and
willing
to
help
the
city
of
boulder,
to
the
extent
that
you
all
have
needs
as
we
respond
to
this
tragedy.
I'm
grateful
that
so
many
in
the
community
have
come
together
and
are
supporting
each
other
during
this
difficult
time.
So
many
mental
health
professionals
here
in
our
community
who
are
helping
those
survivors.
P
That
includes
the
press
that
keeps
us
accountable
and
that
provides
readers
and
citizens
across
our
region
with
such
incredible
reporting
and
the
daily
camera
mitchell
buyers
all
the
folks
who
have
been
reporting
on
the
terrible
events
in
real
time
we're
grateful
to
them
as
we
are
to
the
business
community,
and
I
know
john
tears
on
as
well
from
the
chamber
for
their
efforts
in
supporting
the
businesses
in
in
south
boulder.
P
P
P
I
hope
one
day
soon
with
the
news
that
those
measures
are
law
in
the
meantime
again,
I
would
encourage
everyone
on
the
council
to
the
extent
that
we
can
be
a
resource
to
let
us
know
our
door
is,
of
course,
always
open
you
all.
I
think
each
of
you
have
my
cell
number
and
certainly
have
jill's
as
well.
I
hope
you'll
reach
out
to
us
in
the
coming
days
and
weeks
as
as
we
work
to
heal
our
community
and
again
as
we,
we
work
to
honor
the
victims
of
this
terrible
tragedy.
Q
A
Q
R
S
Oh
there
we
go
okay.
Thank
you,
so,
council,
to
the
extent
that.
S
A
T
A
Kinds
of
gun
reform,
so
thank
you
I'll
turn.
Next
to
colorado,
state
representative,
edie,
hooton.
S
Thank
you,
mayor
weaver,
and
I
appreciate
everyone
on
this
call.
I
saw
her.
I
am,
I
still
see
her
deeply.
E
All
right
so
at
this
point
I've
unmuted
everyone,
I've,
muted,
everyone,
so
interpreters
and
council
members
and
edie.
Please
unmute
as
you
wish.
A
Thank
you,
brenda
we'll,
try
again
edie
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you.
S
Perhaps
it's
a
problem
on
my
end,
but
I've
got.
I
can
hear
sam.
You
know
just
getting
the
last
yeah
mayor,
weaver.
E
S
Right
so
brenda,
maybe
you
and
I
can
talk
offline
about
how
how
to
stop
this
and
and
mayor.
You
can
go
to
someone
else.
A
H
I
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me
to
come
and
talk
tonight
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here,
and
I
you
know.
Obviously
this
is
a
terrible
event
and
it
would
be
nice
if
we
had
been
able
to
come
together
under
happier
circumstance.
H
As
a
state
legislator,
I
am
committed
to
supporting
gun
legislation
and
be
that
an
assault
weapons
ban
at
the
federal
level
at
the
state
level
or
removing
the
state
preemption
so
that
every
city
town
county
in
colorado
can
do
what
they
want.
But
I
think
the
gold
standard
obviously
would
be
to
get
the
federal
legislation
passed.
H
I
want
to
say
that
we
are
so
lucky
here
in
boulder
and
on
this
city
council
to
have
an
incredible
champion
for
gun
rights
in
council
member
rachael
friend,
and
she
has
really
been
a
leader
in
this
topic
and
I'm
going
to
be
colluding
and
collaborating
with
her
on
all
the
gun
measures
that
we
talk
about,
because
this
has
been
a
real
passion
area
for
her
and
we're
so
just
grateful
to
have
her.
H
So
the
other
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
so
thank
you.
Rachel
is
the
other
need
that
we
have,
which
is.
We
are
not
taking
care
of
people
who
have
serious
mental
illnesses,
and
while
most
people
with
mental
illness
are
not
violent
and
never
commit
a
crime
and
are
way
more
likely
to
be
the
victims
of
crime,
we
those
people
are
not
getting
the
treatment
they
need
either.
So
we've
had
a
massive
failure.
H
And
since
I
have
this
audience,
I'm
just
going
to
shamelessly
pitch
this.
I
have
been
working
for
about
a
year
now
with
city
and
county
leaders
and
professionals
in
the
mental
health
arena
and
councilman
brockett
has
joined
our
meetings.
We
have
sheriff
pele,
we
have
michael
doherty
and
we
had
john
tayer
and
the
boulder
chamber
and
people
from
mental
health,
colorado
and
people
from
mental
health
partners.
H
People
from
the
county-
and
we
are
gonna-
put
a
tax
on
the
ballot
for
county-wide
to
support
mental
health
resources
in
boulder
county,
and
I
hope
you'll
all
join
me
in
supporting
that.
It's
not
going
to
be
this
year,
it'll
be
in
2022
and
other
counties
have
done
it
and
they've
made
really
meaningful
change
and
the
county
that
I
think
we
should
all
be
looking
at
is
larimer
county
because
they're
very
similar
to
us.
H
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
interject
that
and
I
have
on
all
these
down
items
because
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
vigil
at
the
courthouse,
and
I
hope
that
I'll
see
some
of
you
there
as
well,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
to
come
here
and
speak
to
you
and
thank
you
guys
for
all
the
work
you're
doing.
It
really
is
important
and
meaningful,
and
particularly
right
now.
A
S
Yes
and
I'm
going
to
try
with
meaning
one
more
time
so
in
this
conversation
that
we're
having
in
this
very
challenging
traumatic
event
that
just
happened
a
little
over
48
hours
ago.
S
As
policymakers,
you
know
we
are
managing
the
incredible
grief
that
we
are
feeling
personally
and
the
grief
we
feel
for
our
community,
and
this
is
where
I
get
choked
up,
because
when
I
talk
about
boulder
and
how
tight-knit
of
a
community
we
are
and
the
trauma
that
we
have
just
experienced
the
victims,
their
families,
the
employees
at
king
supers,
it's
just
it
is
going
to
be
with
us
for.
S
A
long
time-
and
I
think
we
all
know
that
and
in
this
moment
to
recognize
that
grief
and
that
shock
is
where
we
want
to
be,
but
as
policy
makers
and
city
council
members
included,
of
course,
and
our
federal
representatives
and
our
statewide
partners,
we
are
being
called
to
act
now,
do
something
now
and
judy,
and
I
have
been
in
a
lot
of
meetings
in
the
last
36
hours
about
how
we
act
responsibly
and
not
impulsively.
S
What
can
we
do?
That's
really
going
to
make
a
difference
not
only
for
boulder
but
for
the
state
of
colorado.
S
S
So
what
we
introduce-
and
we
will
be
introducing
legislation
in
response
to
this,
but
it
has
to
be
thoughtful,
which
is
why
we're
partnering
partnering
with
the
gifford
foundation,
with
mom-to-man
action
with
every
town
for
gun
safety,
because
they
have
for
over
a
decade,
have
been
in
the
middle
of
this
and
they
know
better
than
anyone
else.
What
works?
What
does
it
work?
S
It's
going
to
be
a
combination
of
sensible
gun
laws
and
mental
health
funding
and
making
sure
that
those
funds
are
directed
where
they
need
to
go
where
they
make
the
greatest
impact.
So
what
I
just
want
to
communicate
to
everyone
tonight
is
that
we
are
bolder
rights.
We
feel
the
pain
we
take
moments.
S
S
It's
a
time
for
grieving,
remembering
mourning
and
also
a
time
for
action,
and
I
just
very
thank
you,
sam
for
inviting
us
to
join
city
council,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
city
council
does
and,
and
we
were
on
a
town
hall.
Just
you
know
15
minutes
ago,
where
sam
gave
a
very
meaningful
heartfelt
recognition
to
the
staff
that
supports
boulder
city
council
and
the
staffs
that
support
the
first
responders
that
support
king
supers.
S
That
support
our
you
know
those
who
respond
on
the
front
lines
to
covet,
and
I
I
just
I
really
appreciate
that
recognition
sam
that
you
made
because
that
just
amplifies
how
we
are
all
in
this
together.
A
Thank
you,
representative,
hooton,
very
much.
We
will
turn
next
to
dr
george
ialopoulos,
but
we
need
to
do
a
technical
reset
on
some
interpretation
channels.
Briefly,
so
I'll
turn
to
brenda
to
walk
us
through
that.
E
Our
apologies
for
technical
difficulties
during
this
meeting
everyone
we
are
going
to
need
to
turn
off
interpretation
momentarily
and
then
turn
it
back
on.
So
at
that
time,
so
you'll
see
your
your
language
that
you've
chosen
disappear,
you'll,
see
the
globe
icon
return
and
then
you'll
need
to
choose
your
language
again.
E
We
appreciate
your
patience
while
we
try
this
and
we
are
lit,
we'll
solve
the
problems
we
are
having.
So
I'm
turning
off
interpretation
now.
U
E
A
Thank
you
brenda
and
with
that
we
are
now
going
to
focus
a
couple
of
next
speakers
on
support
for
our
community's
mental
health
as
we
walk
through
the
fire
of
the
events
that
have
happened.
So
we'll
turn
to
dr
george
ialopoulos
he's
the
chief
medical
officer
with
mental
health
partners
here
in
boulder,
dr
yilopoulos.
V
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
yeah?
Thank
you
mayor
weaver,
and
nobody
ever
gets
my
name
right,
so
they
call
me
dr
e,
thank
you
for
inviting
mental
health
partners
this
evening
on
this.
V
Incredibly
sad
and
solemn
occasion,
you
know
this
is
you
know
we
are
your
community
mental
health
center
in
our
community
and,
like
all
of
you
were
affected
by
what's
going
on,
we
send
our
condolences
to
the
10
families
and
also
I'm
hearing
stories
about
mental
health
partners,
relationship
with
the
police
officer
officer
talley,
who
was
often
at
our
crisis
center
with
our
citizens
that
needed
help
and
distinguished
himself
with
his
compassion
and
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
hear
many
other
stories
about
the
other
people
who
passed
during
this
horrible.
V
This
horrible
thing
that
happened,
I
you
know
a
lot
of
people,
the
governor,
the
the
reverend
the
the
rabbi
representative,
nagoos,
others
have
already
said
a
lot
of
some
of
what
I
wanted
to
say
about
healing.
You
know
we
we
two
days
ago
we
saw
the
worst
of
mankind.
We
saw
the
worst
thing
happen
and
already
we're
starting
to
see
the
best
of
mankind
emerge,
which
is
often
what
happens
in
circumstances
like
this.
One
way
that
we're
going
to
start
healing
and
we've
already
done.
V
For
a
while,
and
I
also
agree
with
the
comments
that
this
is
going
to
go
on
for
some
time.
It's
going
to
re-emerge
when
there's
more
news
about
this
when
there's
trials,
when
there's
other
shootings
in
the
in
the
nation,
we
unfortunately
have
become
a
community
that
joins
a
rather
terrible
club,
another
thing
about,
what's
going
on,
which
is
real,
interesting
and
this
this
rep.
You
know
this.
This
healing
this
larger
community
concept,
there's
a
playbook
for
this-
we're
not
the
first
that
have
been
through
this
and
outside
organizations.
V
Other
mental
health
centers
are
reaching
out
to
us
and
helping
guide
us
about
how
we
can
best
serve
the
community,
and
I
bet
you
similar.
Things
are
happening
in
all
of
our
different
roles
for
all
of
us
on
the
screen
and-
and
this
is
also
really
big-
it's
bigger
than
the
resources
that
we
have
at
mhp.
V
So
if
you
feel
that
your
organization
needs
support
contact
us,
if
you
are
aware
of
some
mental
health
resources
that
you
can,
that
you
want
to
donate,
give
help
out
contact
us
and
we'll
we'll
help
find
a
place
for
that
to
occur,
and
then
individually
reach
out
that's
going
to
be
real
important
self-care
by
the
way.
Right
now
is
very
important.
It's
a
you
know.
V
If
you
were
whatever
you
do
for
self-care
walk
exercise,
pray,
meditate
now
is
a
real
important
time
to
continue
doing
that
and-
and
if
you
were
thinking
about
doing
it
now
is
a
great
time
to
start
doing
that,
even
though
you
may
not
even
feel
like
doing
that
right
now
on
the
screen.
V
Our
are
some
of
our
services
that
we
are
the
contact
numbers
for
our
services
and
you'll
see
the
one
eight
four,
let's
see
I
have
to
move
my
head,
so
I
can
say
the
number,
the
one
eight
four,
four,
four
nine
three
talk
number
that's
the
state
crisis
line,
or
you
can
text
talk
to
three
eight,
two,
five:
five.
You
can
call
our
main
number,
which
is
303
443
8500.
V
If
you
have
questions
or
you're
seeking
services,
if
you
have
any
other
communication
regarding,
you
know
things
that
you
might
want
from
the
mental
health
center
or
things
that
you
might
want
to
direct
towards
the
mental
health
service,
mental
health
center.
Hey,
we
have
resources
that
we
could
probably
help
your
community
to
heal.
Contact
us
on
our
website
are
some
contact
people,
but
there's
really
not
a
wrong
front
door,
go
in
any
door
and
we'll
get
the
information
to
the
right
place.
V
V
V
Outreach
lectures
given
by
our
trauma
expert,
dr
janine
dannenbell,
and
those
that
information
will
be
on
the
website,
but
in
the
next
two
days,
she's
giving
a
lecture
or
she's
giving
a
presentation
entitled
making
it
through
the
making
it
through
together
coping
with
the
aftermath
of
trauma
and
it'll,
be
tomorrow
from
5
30
to
6
15
and
on
march
26
12
to
12
45,
and
I
think
there
will
be
some
questions
and
answers
later.
So
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
A
Dr
e,
that
is
much
appreciated,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
with
that
we'll
turn
next
to
a
recording
another
community,
which
has
suffered
from
the
same
kind
of
trauma
that
boulder
has
just
experienced
as
el
paso
texas
and
a
judge
from
el
paso
reached
out
to
us
shortly
after
the
events
of
monday
and
offered
to
give
us
his
thoughts
on
on
how
his
community
coped
and
what
they
learned.
So
with
that,
if
we
could
queue
up
and
play
the
address
from
judge
ricardo,
salman,
diego,
please.
W
W
W
I
remember
when
we
experienced
our
tragedy
community
leaders
from
santa
fe
texas
reached
out
to
me
because
of
their
own
tragic
experience
at
their
local
high
school.
It
was
so
surreal,
as
they
told
me,
to
get
prepared
to
help
the
next
community
who
would
get
hurt
by
a
similar
misfortune
within
30
days
midland
experienced
a
mass
shooting.
W
W
W
W
W
We
encourage
you
to
find
a
place
in
your
own
community.
That
brings
back
a
sense
of
peace
and
fun
memories
to
honor
the
loved
ones.
You
lost,
as
we
did
here
in
el
paso.
Identifying
that
special
place
will
not
only
bring
the
community
closer
together,
but
will
start
you
on
the
road
to
acceptance
and
recovery.
W
W
Now,
I'd
like
to
read
a
few
statements
from
our
community
leaders
here
in
el
paso,
our
mayor
lisa,
our
prayers
are
with
you.
As
you
deal
with
the
effects
of
the
senseless
act
of
violence,
you
now
begin
the
difficult
process
of
trying
to
understand
the
nature
of
what
happened
and
mourn
the
loss
of
your
beloved
community
members.
W
We
stand
in
solidarity
and
support
that
we
will
always
encourage
empathy,
kindness
in
our
communities,
pete
ferroni,
president
of
the
el
paso
county
sheriff's
officer
association,
on
behalf
of
the
el
paso
county
sheriff's
officers
association.
We
are
deeply
saddened
by
the
tragedy
that
took
place
in
boulder
colorado.
W
Thank
you
officer,
eric
talley,
for
your
service.
We
pray
for
peace,
comfort
and
justice
for
all
of
the
victims
and
their
families.
Our
hearts
hurt
with
you
deborah
soluaga,
ceo
of
the
united
of
united
way,
the
el
paso
united
family
resilience
resiliency
center
understands
and
is
here
to
support
and
assist
the
boulder
community.
As
you
navigate
this
difficult
time.
Like
el
paso,
the
community
of
boulder
is
resilient.
A
Thanks
so
much
for
that
judge
and
I'm
sorry
for
the
delay
bringing
back
up
who
we
have
next
next,
we
have
remarks
from
faith
leaders
in
our
community,
and
so
we
would
like
to
go
next
to
tracy
smith
of
the
islamic
center
of
boulder.
X
X
X
X
X
X
That
being
said,
the
outpouring
of
love
and
support
that
we
have
received
of
the
last
day
or
a
couple
of
days
has
been
overwhelming.
All
this
kindness
is
coming
from
a
community.
That's
already
grieving.
The
loss
of
their
own
sweet,
neighbors
and
boulder
rights
still
have
space
in
their
hearts.
For
the
extra
comfort
and
generosity
for
the
muslim
community,
we
would
like
to
wholeheartedly
thank
boulder
for
this
kindness,
we're
so
grateful.
X
X
A
Thank
you,
ms
smith.
It's
much
appreciated
next,
we'll
go
to
reverend
nicole
lamarche
from
the
community
united
church
of
christ,.
Y
We
are
based
at
the
corner
of
table
mesa
and
lehigh
and
south
boulder,
and
I
regret
that
we're
convening
for
such
a
reason
tonight,
but
I
give
thanks
that
this
year
has
taught
us
how
to
come
together
creatively
across
a
wide
geography
defying
many
previous
limitations.
So
thank
you
for
holding
this
space.
Y
You
are
my
people
when
I
find
myself
asking
if
I
could
have
done
more
to
protect
them
to
protect
us,
the
employees,
the
shoppers
the
first
responders
officer
eric
talley,
showed
up
on
my
doorstep.
This
past
june,
when
our
congregation
and
community
became
the
victim
of
a
hate
crime
that
left
us
reeling.
Y
Y
I
also
confess
that
I
have
lived
the
with
this
mythology
that
many
of
us
say
of
the
bolder
bubble
that
we
are
somehow
separate
from
the
sickness
of
the
american
culture.
Our
family
came
here
just
for
that
bubble.
The
commitment
to
public
schools,
the
arts
bike
paths,
a
love
of
open
space,
a
love
of
justice,
and
now
I
am
reminded
that
that
was
an
illusion.
Y
We
are
america
too,
and
if
that
can
happen
in
our
paradise,
there
is
nowhere.
We
can
hide
from
this.
I
confess
and
lament
for
the
ways
that
I
was
complacent
because
of
a
false
idea
of
this
sense
of
privilege
among
our
squares
tonight.
I
imagine
we
have
sadness,
shock,
grief,
anger,
confusion,
questions
and
more
and,
like
others
have
said,
I
hope
we
can
have
space
for
one
another
to
let
ourselves
feel
whatever
we
need
to
feel
over
the
days
weeks
months
and
even
years
ahead.
Y
Y
I
also
find
myself
wondering
if
this
year
has
prepared
us
for
exactly
what
we
need
to
do
next,
because
this
year
we
learned
to
put
our
energy,
our
science,
our
spiritual
and
material
resources,
our
attention,
our
connections,
our
prayer
and
our
political
will
toward
changing
and
changing
fast
toward
pivoting
innovating.
In
order
to
save
us
all-
and
we
can
do
that
for
this
too-
I
encourage
us
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
keep
pushing
to
showing
up
with
our
bodies
our
hearts
and
our
prayers
to
let
this
wound
be
a
window
to
another
world.
Y
A
Thank
you,
reverend
lamarche
and
I'll
call
now
on:
pastor
randy
spalding
of
the
boulder
mennonite
church.
Z
A
Thank
you,
reverend
spalding,
we'll
turn
next
to
our
community
for
input
and
we'll
begin
with
madeleine,
strong
woodley
of
the
boulder
naacp.
AA
Good
evening,
everybody
and
thank
you
for
having
me
to
mayor
weaver,
our
city
council,
the
boulder
city
council,
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
my
mayor,
longmont
mayor,
brian
bagley,
as
well
as
speaker
pro
tem
junior
joseph
and
I
also
represent,
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
boulder
police
oversight
task
force.
AA
Initially,
then,
implementation
team,
and
now
we
have
invulnerable
police
oversight
panel,
a
project
that
we
undertook
and
with
the
outstanding
contributions
of
an
amazing
group
of
folk
we
did
within
two
years
would
typically
take,
has
taken
some
up
to
five
and
even
more
years
to
to
make
that
happen,
so
that
we're
very
grateful
to
have
been
allowed
to
be
to
have
been
requested
and
allowed
to
come
together
and
work.
I
I
am
going
to
ask
forgiveness
if
I
leave
anybody's
name
off
I'd
like
you.
AA
If
you
could
refer
to
last
tuesday's
council
meeting
minutes,
there
was
a
declaration
read
into
the
minutes
and
all
of
the
names
of
the
persons
that
participated
in
that.
But
in
the
meantime,
I'd
like
to
honor
participants,
todd
conklin
jr,
our
own
sean
ray
dr
michelle
simpson,
dr
sheila
davis,
dr
well
attorney
mike
rafiq
and
dr
james
hill.
AA
As
I
said,
forgive
me
if
I
have
left
anyone
out
I'd
like
to
also
acknowledge
police
chief
maris,
harold
for
the
work
she's
done
and
she
was
hired
within
the
time
that
we
came
together
and
we
supported
that
effort
as
well.
AA
AA
Needless
to
say,
the
world
mourns
with
us,
the
world
is
mourning
with
us
and
personally
at
the
point
that
I
was
reaching
out
to
very
special
asian
friends
for
what
happened
in
atlanta
two
weeks
ago,
and
that
tragedy
happened
to
have
this
come
this
close
to
home,
and
this
level
of
tragedy
was
overwhelming
and
is
still
overwhelming,
overwhelming.
AA
I'm
asking
that
well,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
to
point
out
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
the
necessity,
the
absolute
necessity
for
us
to
stand
with
our
police
force
and
with
our
city
leaders,
especially
now,
if
you
think
about
it,
we're
trained
and
taught
to
go
in
the
opposite
direction
of
trouble,
but
these
brave
people
are
trained
and
have
accepted
the
call
to
go
into
trouble
to
protect
us
for
that
officer.
Eric
talley
answered
that
call
and
gave
his
life
for
that
to
his
wife
and
those
seven
children.
AA
AA
We
feel
for
you,
we
are
with
you.
We
are
all
working
in
in
our
own
ways
to
make
sure
that
we
can
support
and
provide
the
support
that
we're
able
to
give
you.
We
ask
that
you
reach
back
out
to
us
for
any
needs
that
you're
having
that
we're
not
meeting,
we
hear
our
hearts
are
heavy
our
minds
and
our
bodies
are
willing,
and
we
want
you
to
know
that
if,
unlike
you've
ever
known
it
before,
if
you
ever
need
it
to
lean.
AA
We
don't
know
what
they're
going
through,
but
we
know
they
didn't
plan
on
this,
and
so
we
that
kind
of
support
is
necessary
as
well
for
the
family
and
the
rest.
I
think
it
will
take
the
course
that
it
it
that
is
laid
out
and
that
it
should.
AA
I
want
to
encourage
our
legislative
team.
That
includes,
and
again
forgive
me
if
I
I
don't
want
to
call
the
names,
because
I
may
miss
someone
and
that's
not
my
heart.
AA
I
would
like
to
I've
been
watching
representative
mcgoose
lately
and
and
praying
and
keeping
him
uplifted
as
well
as
our
governor.
AA
AA
AA
Again,
I
represent
the
our
boulder
county
branch,
your
boulder
county
branch
naacp,
specifically
the
boulder
pool
and
the
boulder
police
oversight,
task
force,
implementation,
team,
the
greatest
team
on
earth
and
and
then.
Lastly,
on
behalf
of
my
pastor
senior
pastor,
james
ray
pastor,
second
baptist
church,
boulder,
5300
baseline
road,
boulder,
colorado
80303.
AA
In
closing,
I'm
asking
everyone
again
within
the
sound
of
my
voice
to
reach
out
to
your
networks
and
join
us
standing
in
solidarity
to
keep
the
staying
stinging.
I
thank
you
for
having
me
manager,
amy
kane.
I
appreciate
you
inviting
me
and
thank
you.
Everyone
within
the
sound
of
my
voice
have
a
great
evening.
AB
Thank
you
for
having
me
here
today
as
I
prepared
to
speak
here
today.
AB
AB
So
that's
what
I'm
gonna
do,
which
means
I'm
probably
gonna
go
over
two
minutes,
because
I'm
gonna
have
to
pause
and
let
the
tears
flow
but
know
that
these
tears
are
the
love
that
I
have
for
this
community
and
the
pain
that
I
feel
that
I
know
that
we're
all
feeling
I'm
going
to
try
to
read,
because
it's
the
only
way
I
know
to
get
through
this
I've
been
at
a
loss
of
words.
AB
AB
AB
I
wish
I
could
describe
to
you
how
he's
how
excited
it
was.
He
was
to
share
the
good
news
to
join
that
role,
to
be
that
role
in
the
community
there's
so
many
memories
like
this
when
I've
tried
desperately
to
bring
to
the
surface
ever
since
many
colleagues
and
former
students
have
reached
out
and
shared
photographs
and
memories
amongst
their
condolences,
some
make
me
laugh.
Some
make
me
smile
most
fill
my
eyes
with
tears.
AB
I
thought
about
the
santa
hat
denny
wore
every
day
of
december
every
year
that
I
taught
him
the
speaker.
He
carried
down
the
halls
during
passing
periods
and
drive
everyone
crazy
with
his
old
soul
or
holiday
music.
I
thought
about
how
honored
he
was
and
how
he
always
kept
me
on.
My
toes,
I
thought
about
my
colleagues
who
described
their
favorite
part
of
going
to
the
local
store
was
running
into
denny.
AB
I
thought
about
how
much
he
loved
to
tease
me,
but
if
you
know
me,
you
know
I
teased
him
right
back.
Most
people
in
boulder
are
impressed
by
my
sneaker
game.
Denny
questioned
my
choice
in
footwear
and
would
laugh
hysterically
at
my
white
jays
or
forces
and
asked.
Why
would
anyone
buy
white
shoes
then
there's
my
first
day
as
a
teacher
at
fairview
high
school,
I
gave
the
fir
the
typical
first
day
of
school
speech.
I
told
the
students
how
committed
I
was
to
being
an
educator,
how
it
was
going
to
be
a
great
year.
AB
AB
As
we
laughed
cried
and
joked
about
all
the
memories
we
made
during
those
years,
I
reminded
him
of
the
first
day
we
met,
we
laughed
when
I
told
him
he'd
ruined
my
speech
and
he
laughed
and
said.
Well,
it
worked,
you
earned
my
trust
and
respect
on
monday
night,
I
tweeted
I'm
literally
terrified
to
learn
the
other
nine
names.
AB
My
friend
and
colleague
called
me
tuesday
morning.
To
tell
me
the
news.
Jenny
was
one
of
the
names.
She
told
me
exactly
what
I
was
terrified
to
hear
everything
after
that
was
a
blur.
The
emotions
were
too
big.
I
should
add
that
I
just
attended
two
student
funerals
from
a
car
accident
just
just
over
two
months
ago
and
I'm
still
grieving
those
losses.
AB
This
felt
and
still
feels
like
too
much,
but
in
her
own
grief,
my
friend
knew
I
needed
support.
She
immediately
made
calls
and
colleagues
and
former
colleagues
all
vaccinated
rushed
to
be
with
me.
I
received
more
phone
calls
and
messages
that
I
can
count.
Friends
came
to
just
sit
with
me.
Others
brought
food
to
encourage
me
to
eat
or
care
packages
for
my
swollen
eyes.
AB
I
share
this.
For
a
reason,
because,
as
I
think
about
boulder's
collective
healing,
I
encourage
you
to
think
about
all
members
of
our
community.
I
know
others
are
grieving
in
the
same
ways
that
I
am
whether
personally
connected
to
the
lives
lost
during
this
senseless
act
of
violence.
On
monday,
the
entire
community
is
grieving.
We
must
hold
space
to
grieve
for
ourselves
and
for
each
other,
we
must
care
for
the
families
that
are
most
directly
impacted,
but
we
also
must
think
about
how
we
collectively
care
for
each
other
denny
stone.
AB
It's
not
lost
to
me
that
many
are
using
the
hashtag,
boulderstrong
and
denny's.
Last
name
was
originally
misspelled
as
strong
since
names
are
announced,
we've
heard
witnesses
speak
to
denny's
heroic
efforts.
There's
not
a
doubt
in
my
mind
that
these
accounts
are
true
a
friend
who
also
cares
deeply
about
denny
texts
me
and
asks.
AB
Why
would
he
run
too
instead
of
away
from
the
gunshots
amy?
Well,
I
may
wish
the
same.
I
know
that's
not
denny's
character,
then
he
died
a
hero.
Thank
you
for
saying
his
name.
Thank
you
for
remembering
him
as
the
hero
he
was
did
he
was
feisty,
but
he
cared
deeply
and
had
a
soft
heart
underneath
that
tough
exterior
boulder
is
denny
strong,
but
only
if
we
collectively
care
for
each
other
and
our
community
in
the
ways
that
denny
clearly
did
take
care
of
yourselves
take
care
of
each
other
boulder.
Thank
you.
AB
A
AC
Thanks
sam
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
city
council
for
holding
on
this
special
meeting
to
help
our
community
cope
with
what
happened
on
monday
at
the
table
mesa
king
supers,
and
I
want
to
recognize
you
mayor
sam,
for
the
way
you've
represented
our
city
and
you've
been
called
to
speak
on
this
tragedy
by
so
many
local,
national
and
even
international
news
agencies.
AC
I
attended
an
online
vigil
last
night,
which
was
put
on
by
boulder's
rabbinical
community,
and
one
thing
I
heard
really
stuck
with
me
and
I'll
share
it.
It
was
said
by
rabbi,
fred,
green
of
congregation,
hashem
rabbi,
greene
spoke
of
the
way
people
in
the
face
of
tragedy
tend
to
ask.
How
could
god
have
let
this
happen?
AC

Thank
you
tina
next,
we'll
hear
from
pierce
limbits,
who
is
a
fifth
grader
at
bixley.
AE
AE
The
victims
could
have
been
any
one
of
us,
even
my
mom,
who
does
her
grocery
shopping
before
she
picks
me
up
from
school
at
3
15.,
the
other
person,
the
person
who
did
this
should
never
have
done
it
and
should
never
have
had
a
gun
how
many
people
have
to
die
before
we
understand
this.
This
this
grateful
sorry,
I
am
grateful
for
the
people
and
the
police
officers
who
stopped
this,
especially
eric
talley,
who
gave
his
life.
AE
We
will
never
recover
from
this
until
we
know
it
will
never
happen
again.
I
am
11
years
old
and
I
think
everyone
should
do
their
best
to
fix
this.
It
is
unimaginable
how
the
fam,
how
the
victims,
families
are
feeling
and
no
one,
should
ever
have
to
go
through
something
as
tragic
as
this.
Please
keep
us
safe
in
the
future.

Thank
you,
pierce,
let's
see
next,
we
will
call
on
soraya

Nixie,
thank
you
so
much
your
words
and
your
presence
have
so
much
power.
I
really
appreciate
hearing
from
you
hi
everyone.
I
invite
you
all
to
just
take
a
moment
to
take
a
deep
breath
in
and
take
a
deep
exhale
out
and
just
acknowledge
that
your
breath
is
there
and
that
you
are
alive
at
this
moment
with
all
of
its
grief
and
its
immensity
that
you
are
here
breathing.

I
am

I
grew
up
in
muslim

I'm
in
a
healing
and
inherently
political
body,

a
body

has
truthfully
rarely
felt
safe

The

followed

break.
The
university
has
asked
us
to
continue
to
hold
classes.
Ask
students
to
still
show
up
following
this,
we're
going
without
rest
and
without
time
to
process
and
we're
working
really
hard
to
hold
space
with
what
feels
like
not
much
institutional
support.
This
is
the
true
experience
of
many
of
our
students.
AF
I
also
really
value
the
stories
and
the
commitments
shared
here
today
by
our
leaders
and
community
members
on
this
call,
and
I
guarantee
you
that
my
students
are
going
to
continue
to
hold
all
of
us
here
accountable
to
what
we're
promising
for
years.
My
students
have
organized
on
the
urgency
of
addressing
gun
violence
in
our
country,
so
that
its
horrors
did
not
arrive
here
in
our
community,
knowing
fully
well
that
it
could.
My
students-
and
I
often
remind
ourselves
that
we
are
the
ones
we've
been
waiting
for,
because
nobody
else
is
going
to
rescue
us.
AF
Three
years
ago,
students
at
fairview
high
school,
one
of
them,
my
sister,
just
over
a
mile
away
from
the
king
supers
organized
a
walkout
around
gun
violence
in
our
country,
and
today,
when
I
was
speaking
with
her,
she
said
if
this
shooting
had
happened
on
a
school
day,
pre-covered
19,
that
that
store
would
have
been
filled
with
high
school
students.
Hanging
out,
I
sat
recalling
sandy
hook
columbine.
AF
We
are
not
immune.
I
sat
thinking
of
trayvon,
martin
and
brianna
taylor.
I
am
not
immune.
We
have
talk
of
returning
to
normal
following
vaccines,
but
we
know
that
trauma
leads
to
overproduction
of
stress
and
stress
hormones
that,
when
activated,
do
not
allow
us
to
return
to
normal
for
long
periods
of
time.
AF
AF
I
invite
you
to
ask
yourself,
and
I
ask
myself
this
daily-
am
I
in
a
daily
practice
of
witnessing
who
is
not
represented
in
any
spaces?
I
work
in
whose
breath
is
no
longer
with
us,
whose
rights
to
freedom
or
dignity
might
we
be
actively
contributing
to
reducing
through
our
choices,
ask
what
is
needed
for
every
identity
and
body
to
feel
safe.
AF
AF
This
is
one
of
the
most
pervasive
issues
gun
violence
of
my
generation
and
still
nothing
prepares
you
for
the
hours
you
try
spending
to
hear
back
from.
If
your
students
and
your
colleagues
and
your
best
friends
are
okay
and
safe
and
alive,
and
to
see,
if
there's
a
name
on
a
list,
you
might
recognize
and
then
attempt
to
process
all
of
the
moving
parts
of
how
we
got
here.
O
AF
Love
you,
this
has
been
regarded
as
a
once-in-a-lifetime
shooting
in
boulder.
Yet
we
know
gun
violence
has
taken
so
many
lives
in
this
country.
We
are
living
through
what
many
would
call
a
once
in
a
lifetime
pandemic.
Yet
we
know
that
in
access
to
health
care
and
resources,
racism
and
caste
kills
people
across
our
country
and
our
world
daily
without
there
being
a
cove
at
19..
AF
We
know
this
and
we
don't
heal
by
viewing
our
wounds
as
isolated
and
insulated.
We
heal
by
learning,
holding
and
acting
on
behalf
of
how
the
issues
and
lack
of
previous
action
connect
and
perpetuate
systems
and
a
culture
that
can
reinforce
harm
rather
than
prevent
it
rather
than
treating
each
other
as
a
community.
AF
Let
us
commit
each
of
our
breaths
to
whole
space
for
our
community
to
build
resources
for
free
therapy
to
not
define
freedom
as
free
for
only
one
kind
of
person.
May
we
push
institutions
to
allow
room
for
being
human
in
an
unimaginable
moment
of
overlapping
inequity
and
give
us
time
for
self-care
and
community
care?

When
I
moved
back
to
boulder
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
I
came
to
give
my
children,
the
community
that
I
had
experienced
here
growing
up
and
I
chose
to
move
to
table
mesa
because
I
knew
that
community
and
during
this
pandemic,
as
with
most
everyone
else
in
the
neighborhood,
it's
pretty
much
been
the
only
place.
I've
spent
any
time
with
any
regularity.
Besides
the
walls
of
my
own
home.
AG
AG
AG
AG
Others
have
purple
hair
for
some
reason,
so
many
of
the
employees
at
king
sleepers
died.
They
heard
blue
and
purple,
and
it
brought
me
such
joy
every
time
I
I
went,
and
I
hope
it
will
again
when
I
go
again
we're
all
members
of
many
different
communities
and
we're
also
all
facing
many
pandemics
and
many
epidemics.
AG

I'm
sorry
if
I
mispronounced,

public

AH

Who
are
hearing
gun
violence
killed?
So
I
scared
when
we
had
that
thing.
On
monday
I
called
my
wife,
I
was
at
the
school.
I
was
asking
why
the
kids
and
what
are
the
members
who
are
calling
every
members
where
they
are
to
make
sure
that
we
are
safe,
because
the
news
of
gun,
violence
and
racism
is
really
terrifying.
Our
community,
especially
african
americans,
who
are
here
in
pola
county
for
the
last
15
years,
and
we
never
given
any
opportunity
to
our
grievances.
AH
AH
These
were
the
avenues
or
situations
of
such
like
monday
arising.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
treat
those
things
because
we're
engaging
each
other,
because
I'm
still
now
at
the
workplace
right
now,
as
the
duck
is
getting
getting
in.
I'm
scared
too,
because
I
don't
know
who
is
behind
me
who
is
next
to
me,
because
I
have
to
go
and
see
my
kids.
I
have
to
go
so.
Let's
work
together
join
with
our
lost
enforcement
work
together.
AH
AH
A
T
I
I
have
to
start
by
observing
the
fact
that
of
the
10
victims,
four
were
union
members,
three
from
cave
supers
and,
of
course,
our
brother
officer
tully,
that
it's
it's
painful
to
observe,
but
as
as
a
leader
of
an
organization,
that's
on
more
than
140
years
old.
Success
basically
is
a
successor
to
the
lewisville
labor
council,
founded
in
the
1860s.
T
We've
observed
a
lot
of
pain
and
suffering
in
massacres,
and
let's
recognize
that
for
what
it
is
it
was.
It
was
a
massacre
generally
because
we
were
fighting
for
workers,
rights
and
all
of
these
workers
and
working
people
and
the
small
business
people
that
were
slaughtered
senselessly
at
king
supers
remind
us
of
how
we
handle
this
in
the
history
of
labor
and
the
way
we
do
it
is
really
quite
basic.
T
AI
T
T
A
Thank
you,
jeff
with
that
we
are
going
to
see
brenda.
I'm
going
to
check
in
chris
and
pam
are
at
the
vigil,
that's
being
held
and
we're
going
to
have
them
bring
in
three
people
from
that
vigil.
If
they'd
like
to
speak
to
us,
are
you
ready
to
go
to
that
or
should
we
have
another
speaker?
First.
AJ
AJ
We
have
to
face
this
aspect
of
our
of
our
social
construct
of
what
we
value,
and
I
don't
know
that
we
can
just
focus
on
gun
control
or
gun
regulation
is
one
option.
I
don't
think
that's
the
only
answer.
I
don't
think
it's
just
mental
health,
although
there
are
not
enough
beds
for
people
who
need
help,
there
are
no
beds.
AJ
We
also
have
to
look
at
wealth.
Disparity
and
a
living
wage
in
this
country,
those
are
things
that
help
agitate
and
and
create
violence.
AJ
AJ
People
can
go,
get
a
bed
if
they're
struggling
or
can
get
mental
health
care.
We
don't
have
people
with
ak-15s
and
that
people
can
make
a
living
wage.
So
I
really
appreciate
mutual
aid
being
out
here.
I'm
a
big
supporter
of
mutual
aid.
They
do
a
lot
for
the
community
and
I
appreciate
y'all
letting
me
spout
off.
Thank
you.
J
AI
I
I
Actually
the
funny
thing
about
jody
was
we
didn't,
even
in
my
family,
know
her
last
name.
She
was
even
in
my
contacts
in
my
phone
as
just
jody,
but
that'll
change
for
us
this
week.
I
got
a
call
from
my
sister
on
monday
in
the
late
afternoon.
Madeline
was
getting
really
worried.
She
hadn't
heard
from
jody
since
earlier
that
day
since,
before
the
shooting
and
jody
lived
right
across
the
street
from
that
table,
mesa
king
supers
and
madeline
knew
that
she
shopped
there
almost
every
day.
I
That
was
her
store,
like
it
was
so
many
people's
store
stores
and
since
the
shooting,
her
daughters
had
not
heard
from
her
and
madeline
had
not
heard
from
her
and
nobody
heard
from
her.
And
then
I
texted
my
sister
at
4
30
p.m,
and
I
said
madeline
did
you
hear
from
jody
and
she
said
she
had
it
and
then
I
texted
her
at
5
30
and
she
still
had
it
and
then
my
daughters,
texted
madeline
at
six
and
then
at
seven,
and
we
still
heard
nothing.
I
It's
kind
of
interesting:
it
brings
people
together,
so
whereas
there
was
where
there
could
be
strife
in
the
community,
now
we're
all
one
and
we're
working
together
as
one
and
when
people
are
one
they
can
accomplish
so
much
more,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
give
up
hope
on
humanity,
and
I
won't
give
up
hope
on
this
city.
None
of
us
will,
but
we
will
stand
together
and
we're
gonna
do
do
what
jody
did
and
we're
gonna
have
each
other's
back.
Thank
you.

you,

We
will
not
let
hatred
prevail;
instead,
let
us
foster
love,
compassion

unity,

Counseling
and
again,
this
is
a
letter
from
a
student
from
the
university,
and
I
just
also
would
like
to
apologize
part
of
it
is
my
accent
as
well.
When
I
was
saying
the
name
of
the
victims,
I
did
not
pronounce
them
well
enough.
I
apologize
for
that
and
thank
you
very
much.
Sam.
A
AK
Hi
thank.
AK
Yeah,
my
name
is
dave
gross
and
I've
lived
in
boulder
for
25
years.
I'm
a
member
of
the
cu
faculty,
I'm
a
husband,
son-in-law
and
father
of
two
kids
all
here,
I'm
devastated
and
heartbroken
by
this.
This
mass
murder
committed
here
in
our
home.
So
I'd
like
to
take
a
minute
to
speak
about
guns.
AK
My
training
is
as
an
economist
and
so
I'll
use
this
time
to
speak
about
guns.
From
that
perspective,
when
we
teach
economics,
the
first
thing
we
teach
is
that
everyone
acting
in
their
own
best
interest,
produces
the
best
outcome
and
then
the
second
thing
we
teach
is
that's
not
really
true
and
the
main
reason
it's
not
true
is
negative
externalities.
AK
The
best
example
of
a
negative
externality
is
of
course,
pollution.
It
may
be
best
for
me
to
produce
some
product
in
the
cheapest
way
possible,
but
if
the
effects
of
my
production
are
so
deleterious
to
the
community
and
the
pollution
I
create
dominates
the
benefit
of
the
product
or
even
the
lower
price.
We
would
all
deem
it
perfectly
reasonable
to
restrain
my
activity
to
restrict
my
freedom
to
mitigate
this
harm.
AK
It's
impossible
for
me
to
detail
the
magnitude
and
dimensions
of
the
negative
impact
that
unrestricted
gun
ownership
visited
on
me
personally,
my
family,
my
friends
and
all
the
members
of
this
wide
community,
the
hurt
the
harm
experienced
by
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
members
of
the
boulder
community
and
officer
talley's,
seven
children
and
all
of
the
other
victims.
Families
clearly
outweighs
any
and
all
benefits
of
unrestricted
gun
ownership.
We
must
restrict
gun
ownership
right
now,
these
negative
externalities,
these
threats
to
humanity
are
just
too
great.
AL
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor,
weaver
and
all
of
boulder
city
council
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
our
community
tonight
at
such
a
dark
time.
Our
hearts
and
deepest
sympathies
are
with
the
friends
and
families
of
the
beloved
friends
and
neighbors
we
lost
and
with
everyone
who
is
suffering
tonight.
AL
AL
The
next
circle
of
proximity
includes
those
who
experienced
the
event
first
hand,
colorado
healing
fund,
in
partnership
with
the
colorado
organization
for
victims.
Assistance
will
define
where
their
support
ends
within
that
second
circle
and
where
our
support
can
begin,
and
the
third
circle
is
our
entire
community.
AL
We
will
get
through
this
together
and
we
will
do
so
by
leaning
on
each
other.
We
will
get
through
this
by
remembering
every
person
we
lost
and
love
every
person
we
meet
even
more
and
in
closing
I'll
say
let
our
aching
hearts
be
a
testament
to
the
depth
of
love
that
we
have
for
each
other
and
for
our
community.
AM
AM
AM
So
we're
asking
ourselves
we're
asking
people
in
positions
of
power
to
take
action
for
many
in
my
community.
The
action
that
needs
to
happen
to
regain
their
sense
of
safety
comes
in
the
form
of
police
presence,
the
good
guys
with
guns
protecting
them
from
whatever
harm
could
come.
Their
way
heroically
demonstrated
in
the
actions
of
officer
talley,
who
gave
his
life
to
protect
the
safety
of
those
still
in
king
supers.

AP
AP
The
other
thing
I
want
to
speak
to
is
belonging.
AP
You
know
everything
that
I've
been
hearing
people
talk
about
this
evening.
It
kind
of
funnels
down
to
belonging,
who
belongs,
who
feels
they
belong,
who
doesn't
feel
they
belong,
is
at
the
root
of
so
much.
AP
And
it
it
always
comes
down
to
that.
It's
the
everyday
things
that
we
experience
that
create
the
bigger
things
in
our
lives,
so
so
one
I
want
to
put
a
reminder
out
for
that
and
as
people
have
been
speaking
to
that
this
evening,
feeling
what
they're
feeling
that's,
that's
all
those
things
that
make
the
bigger
stuff.
AP
Those
are
all
the
things
that
count.
It's
always
the
little
things
and
it's
the
little
things
that
make
the
laws
eventually.
AP
So
you
know
that
belonging
for
me.
It's
it's
been
happening
in
in
just
those
small
encounters.
Every
day
you
know,
I
was
in
another
grocery
store
and
yesterday
and
I
was
in
the
meat
department
and
the
person
that
waited
on
me.
AP
AP
It
happened
to
me
during
the
the
the
protests
and
the
horrific
murders
that
were
happening
to
black
and
brown
people
in
our
country,
where,
all
of
a
sudden,
I
got
noticed
people
that
maybe
would
just
walk
right
by
me
without
seeing
me,
stopped
to
acknowledge
my
black
body
in
their
space.
AP
AP
AP
A
Thank
you
norma
next,
we'll
go
to
two
together:
adella
aguirre
and
jesus
salazar.
Both
who
assist
us
as
community
connectors.
AR
Yeah,
thank
you.
My
statement
will
follow
in
english.
AR
Before
I
begin,
I
just
want
to
give
my
condolences
to
all
the
families
and
friends
that
have
special
connections
to
the
victims
of
this
tragedy,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
those
words
of
the
friends
that
of
these
victims.
They
brought
tears
to
my
eyes
and
I
just
really
recognized
the
how
special
these
people
were.
AR
My
name
is
born
and
raised
here
in
boulder.
This
tragedy
has
impacted
our
community
like
never
before.
Most
of
us
are
conscious
about
the
mass
shootings
happening
around
the
country,
but
never
in
my
life
do.
I
think
that
this
would
happen
here
in
boulder,
even
as
I,
as
a
young
kid
growing
up
here.
AR
I
never
second
guessed
my
safety
as
a
community,
because,
as
a
community
connector,
I
know
that
my
communities
are
very
strong
and
resilient,
and
the
next
steps
from
here
are
not
to
only
heal,
most
importantly,
but
also
take
action
so
that
other
families
and
other
communities
that
come
across
the
country
and
even
world
I'm
never
have
to
experience
this
pain.
AR
A
Thank
you
adela
and
jesus.
Next
we
have
lupita
montoya.
AS
A
B
Not
always,
thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
the
people
who,
unfortunately,
you
know
it's
an
interesting,
an
interesting
time
that
we're
living
in
I'm
so
seldom
bought
a
resident
for
15
years
community
connector
worker
grove
mobile
park
coming
from
bigger
city
than
boulder
before
we
moved
here.
I
always
stop
boulder
as
a
quiet
town.
B
He
and
my
team
that
sometimes
thought
of
water
as
boring,
though,
as
I
get
older,
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
other
cities
and
towns
across
america
and
events.
B
Thank
you.
Yes,
as
I
was
saying,
though,
as
I
get
older
and
have
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
other
cities
and
towns
across
america
in
other
towns
in
colorado,
my
appreciation
and
love
for
boulder
girls
exponentially.
B
A
Oops,
I'm
sorry,
but
it
looks
like
we've
lost
adela
and
jesus.
If
we
get
them
back
in,
I
will
come
back
to
jesus.
In
the
meantime,
we
will
call
on
lupita
montoya.
AS
Thank
you,
mayor,
weaver,
dear
bolder
community.
I'm
just
going
to
read
my
statements
because
I
already
have
done
quite
a
bit
of
crying.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
can
get
through
this,
I'm
speaking
today
as
someone
who
lives,
works,
volunteers,
shops
worships
and
raises
her
kids
in
the
city
of
boulder.
AS
AS
AS
AS
So
my
question
is:
what
are
we
doing
wrong
as
a
society
to
produce
so
many
young
people
who
end
up
committing
these
sorts
of
acts
on
a
regular
basis?
Now
in
this
country,
I
feel
deeply
the
loss
of
lives
and
I
have
prayed
for
them
as
I
often
pray
for
people
who
lose
the
people
that
we
lose
regularly
to
gun
violence
into
suicide?
AS
A
AT
Thank
you,
sam
first,
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
weaver
and
members
of
city
council
for
calling
us
together
tonight
and
with
the
invitation
I
appreciate
it.
I'm
nikhil
boulder,
manches,
born
and
raised
in
this
community.
This
is
my
home.
AT
I
also
want
to
give
my
thanks
and
love
and
playlist
to
chief
hillard
boulder
police
department,
all
of
its
officers
chill
of
pelle
the
county,
sheriff's
department,
fbi,
law
enforcement
agencies,
district
attorney,
michael
dougherty,
and
everyone
in
the
boulder
county
da's
office
for
the
incredible
response
this
week
to
such
horrific
incidents
and
and
the
continued
response
and
follow-up
going
forward.
AT
AT
It's
just
it's
a
lot
and
I'm
just
thinking
of
how,
just
days
before
this
tragedy
happened,
I
was
driving
my
dad
right
by
that
king
subaru's
in
table
mesa
and
we
were
in
the
neighborhood
and
taking
a
drive
and
talking,
and
he
he
just
exclaimed
50
euros
to
me,
and
I
was
thinking
I'm
not
close
to
50.
Yet
what
are
you
talking
about?
AT
And
he
said
50
years
since
I
came
to
boulder
and
he
came
to
boulder
50
years
ago
and
made
this
his
home
and
all
the
family's
home
and
we're
just
talking
reflecting
on
that
and
beautiful
bolded
community
and
by
beautiful
we
were
not
just
talking
about
the
mountains
and
the
trails
he
took
us
on
hiking,
his
kids,
but
other
beautiful
people
in
in
in
boulder
that
all
the
friends
we
call
it
friends
and
family
as
there's
the
tragedy
hit
on
on
monday,
I
think
of
his
his
best
friend,
who
also
came
here
in
the
70s
who
lives
right
by
that
king
zoopers
and
walks
in
that
neighborhood
and
and
to
that
king
supers.
AT
Every
day
I
think
of
how
I
used
to
go
to
school.
I
used
to
go
to
lunch
doing
after
school
every
day
at
that
king
supers
and
I'm
just
glad
it
was
spring
break.
I
can
only
imagine
all
the
young
high
school
students
who
would
have
been
when
this
tragedy
happened.
AT
Otherwise,
looking
back,
I
I
remember
columbine
and
all
the
memories
associated
with
that
and
the
change
how
it
changed
people's
sense
of
feeling,
unsafe,
just
unsafe,
doing
something
you
do
every
day
going
to
school
and
how
that
stayed
with
us
since-
and
I
just
had
instantly
recalled
the
you
know,
having
metal
detectors
installed
at
the
high
school
up
there
and
how
it
changed
all
their
lives,
not
only
as
students
but
as
we
grow
up
and
then
I
think,
of
people
being
afraid
and
uncomfortable
to
go
see
a
movie
with
friends
after
the
loyal
theater
tragedy
in
2012.,
and
the
list
goes
on
and
now
this,
as
the
events
of
days
ago
unfolded.
AT
I
thought
of
all
of
this.
I
thought
of.
As
I
watched
the
events
unfold
on
the
news
I
thought
of
friends,
people
I've
worked
with
childhood
friends
and
in
the
boulder
police
department.
You
know
messaging
them
contacting
them
to
see
if
they
were
safe
friends
who
live
nearby
and
table
mesa
and
us
calling
each
other
to
check
if
we're
safe.
AT
My
my
mom's
oldest
friend,
going
back
to
college
lives
in
atlanta
and
they
were
just
talking
about
the
tragedy
and
hate
crimes
in
atlanta
only
that
she
was
facing
in
her
own
community
only
days
before,
and
she
was
shocked
to
tune
on
the
news
and
see
this
in
boulder
and
the
many
friends
from
outside
boulder
and
outside
the
state,
who've,
messaged
and
connected
that
day,
and
in
these
days
since
that
have
followed
to
show
they
feel
the
pain
and
showing
they
care
about
us
and
our
community.
AT
AT
Clearly
it
comes
from
each
and
every
one
of
us
everyday
people
who
make
up
make
up
the
city
it
is
and
the
community
it
is
that
we
call
home
so
please
be
kind
to
each
other,
be
gentle
with
each
other.
Take
time
for
one
another,
careful
each
other,
that's
what
we
can
do
right
now
and
that's
what
we
have
to
do
always
so
love
that
enables
it
and
may
peace
be
upon
us.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
A
AU
Well,
let's
start
by
thanking
the
city
also
for
the
partnership
in
the
lighting,
the
boulder
star
and
I'll
say
that
you
know,
there's
been
so
many
profound
statements
of
grief
tonight
so
well.
Articulatedly
stated
words
of
comfort
and
there
are
commitments
to
healing
and
building
back
stronger.
AU
I
can't
begin
to
try
to
match
that
and
I
won't,
but
I
just
will
say
that
the
boulder
chamber
welcomes
all
of
those
sentiments
as
a
testament
to
the
unity
and
strength
and
resilience
of
our
community.
AU
You
mentioned
the
boulders
star,
mayor
weaver
and
those
are
the
very
sentiments
that
we
hope
that
the
boulder
lighting
of
the
boulder
star
reflects,
and
we
intend
to
have
that
lit
through
the
next
10
preceding
days
in
honor
of
the
10
victims
that
we
that
we
lost
so
that
will
be
lit
through
monday,
but
there's
something
else
that
we
want
to
convey
and
it
oftentimes
gets
lost
in
the
reflection
on
such
a
terrible
act
of
violence
and-
and
that
is
to
thank
you.
AU
We
want
to
first
thank
as
the
boulder
chamber
and
the
boulder
business
community,
those
first
responders
who
many
have
acknowledged
tonight.
But
it
comes
right
front
and
center
to
all
of
us
how
they
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day,
and
we
see
that
in
fact
terribly
it
can
come
to
a
death
of
a
law,
enforce
a
heroic
law
enforcement
officer
like
officer
talley,
and
we
thank
our
law,
our
first
responders
every
day
for
their
protection.
AU
We
also
thank
our
elected
leaders
for
their
help
in
making
sense
of
this
tragic
incident
and
for
what
I
know
are
their
commitments
to
work
on
the
issues
that
are
going
to
help
avoid
these
types
of
incidents.
In
the
future.
AU
We
heard
a
number
of
commitments
along
those
lines
and
then
also
I
want
to
thank
and
on
behalf
of
the
chamber
of
the
residents
who
have
reached
out
and
demonstrated
their
caring
and
their
emotional
support
to
the
victims
of
this
tragic
incident
and
then,
finally,
I
just
a
thought,
a
sentiment
from
our
end
and
it's
not
lost
on
us
that
this
incident
occurred
at
a
local
business
and
it's
a
business
like
any
others
that
many
of
us
frequent
every
day
and
provide
critical
services.
AU
So
too
often
we
take
those
services
that
our
local
businesses
offer
and
the
workforce
that
provides
those
services
for
granted,
and
we
we
just
can't
do
that.
So,
let's
take
this
experience
as
a
reminder
of
the
humanity
of
all
we
encounter
in
our
daily
activities
and
the
businesses
that
serve
our
needs.
AU
A
Thank
you,
john
next,
we
will
go
to
kelly
mcgannon
kelly
is
the
regional
director
of
corporate
affairs
for
kroger,
western
region
and
kroger
owns
king
super
kelly.
AV
AV
I
think
the
first
thing
I
will
share
with
you
is
we're
heartbroken
and
I
will
try
and
be,
as
it
was
personal
for
us.
Our
associates
are
like
our
family
and
our
tenure
is
deep
and
boulder
has
always
been
home
for
king
supers.
It
is
a
place
where
the
community
has
supported
us,
been
a
part
of
what
we
do
and
inspired
so
many
of
our
actions
and
has
led
us
on
this
journey
for
us
for
zero
hunger,
zero
waste
that
was
really
inspired
by
when
we
first
started.
AV
But
it's
because
of
our
people
and
anybody
can
sell
groceries,
but
no
it's
not
always
about
the
people,
we're
in
the
people,
business.
We
meet
our
associates,
we
meet
our
community
and
I
think
for
far
too
long
we
always
felt
like
this
was
going
to
happen.
Someplace
else,
I
have
loved
to
hear
everybody's
comments
and
about
how
we
heal
and
how
we
come
together
and
how
we
come
back
better,
and
I
think
somebody
said
previously
that
it's
for
them
it's
really
about
in
the
worst
of
times.
AV
AV
AV
So
it's
just
heartbreaking
because
we
know
them,
we
know
their
names
and
it's
it's
part
of
the
fabric
of
our
community.
I
think
mayor
what
we
want
everybody
to
know
and
what
we
are
committed
to
doing
is
supporting
our
community
and
supporting
our
associates,
and
I
think
the
first
place
we
have
to
start
is
supporting
the
mental
health
of
our
associates
through
this
really
difficult
time.
AV
I
don't
know
how
and
when
the
store
reopens-
and
I
don't
know
what
that
looks
like,
because
it's
a
day
we
never
thought
would
come,
but
I
know
that
we
will
do
it
with
the
council
support
and
the
community
support.
I
think
those
are
decisions
we
will
have
to
make
together
and
I
think
what
gives
us
all
comfort
is
to
know
we're
not
in
it
alone.
AV
These
types
of
things
exist
and
they
practice
drills
and
schools
to
prevent
them
and
to
prevent
the
tragedies,
but
together,
we'll
come
back
stronger.
We're
committed
we're
committed
to
our
associates
to
our
customers
and
the
community.
I
think
the
best
place
we
can
start
is
to
help
healing
give
people
access
to
the
mental
health
work
resources
that
they
need
and
then
partner
with
each
of
you
to
find
out
what's
best
for
the
community
and
how
we
come
back
and
support
each
other.
So
thank
you.
AV
Thank
you
for
letting
me
participate
and
I
truly
feel
like
it
was
a
gift
that
I
got
to
hear
all
the
feedback
from
so
many
of
our
elected
officials
and
community
leaders
that
are
committed
to
this
and
we're
better
together.
All
of
us-
and
I
just
know
that
it's
a
bright
future.
So
thanks
for
letting
me
participate
and
I'm
sorry
if
I
had
technical
difficulties
before,
but
it
was
really
a
gift
just
to
hear
everybody
else's
feedback.
AV
So
thanks
for
letting
me
be
there
and
thanks
for
having
such
brave
first
responders
because
it
could
have
been
far
more
tragic,
so
we're
grateful
and
there
I
will
turn
it
back
to
you.
A
Thank
you
kelly.
Next,
we'll
turn
to
judith
landsman
she's,
the
chair
of
the
naacp
equal
opportunity,
freedom
fund
committee,
judith.
AW
AW
We
encourage
our
leaders
to
work
towards
responsible
gun
legislation,
banning
assault
weapons
in
boulder
and
in
the
state.
Many
of
us,
many
of
us
in
the
branch,
including
myself,
are
long
time.
Boulderites
we
went
through
columbine,
we
went
through
aurora
the
aurora
movie,
theater,
shooting
and
now
table
mesa
in
our
own
backyard.
AW
AW
AW
AW
A
Thank
you
judith.
Next,
we
have
suzanne
jones,
the
former
mayor
of
boulder.
AX
I
know
it's
been
a
long
evening.
Thank
you
all
for
hanging
in
there.
I
join
you
as
a
former
mayor
and
a
long
time,
community
member
and
like
all
of
you,
I'm
heartbroken,
I'm
devastated
and,
like
so
many
of
the
other
folks
that
have
spoken,
I
I'm
struggling
with
deep
sadness
and
also
outrage
and
anger
over
the
senseless
loss
of
10,
vibrant
and
wonderful
community
members,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
this
city
council
for
bringing
us
together.
AX
And
at
times
like
this,
I
am
more
grateful
than
ever
to
be
a
part
of
this
wonderful
community.
I
slipped
out
during
this
event
to
run
downtown
to
the
candlelight
vigil,
just
because
I
needed
to
feel
the
energy
and
love
of
community
and
though
it
was
hard
to
capture
it
on
zoom.
I
have
to
say
it
was
a
very
powerful
and
palpable
gathering
a
real
coming
together
to
support
the
victims
family,
but
also
to
support
each
other
and
to
try
to
begin
healing
together.
AX
As
has
been
noted,
we
live
in
a
country
where
shootings
and
mass
shootings
are
happening
so
often
and
well.
I
feel
like
we
grieve
each
one
when
it
happens
here
in
our
hometown,
at
our
local
grocery
store
to
our
friends
and
neighbors.
There
is
no
looking
away
and
we
can't
deny
the
reality
of
of
who
we
are
as
a
society
and
there's
just
nothing
normal
or
acceptable
about
the
cycle
of
violence
and
the
depth
of
division
in
our
country,
and
it
has
got
to
change
now.
AX
I
was
on
city
council
with
many
of
you
when,
in
response
to
the
parkland
mass
shooting,
we
passed
our
city's
assault
weapons
ban
and
we
didn't
do
it
because
we
thought
it
was
the
answer.
But
it
was
an
important
step.
It
was
one
that
we
could
take
and
we
felt
compelled
to
take
even
though
it
was
insufficient,
and
now
we
need
to
channel
the
pain,
we're
feeling
into
doing
more
and
I'll.
Just
note
that
this
community
and
this
council
is
made
up
of
problem.
AX
A
Thank
you
very
much
suzanne.
Next
we
have
anna
karina
casas
ibarra,
one
of
our.
AY
I'm
gonna
say
it
in
english.
Now,
when
I
got
in
touch
with
my
my
community
with
my
neighbors,
the
first
thing
that
they
told
me
was:
please
just
make
sure
you
express
your
most
sincere
condolences
to
the
families
of
the
victims
and
just
let
them
know
that
as
a
community
we're
grieving
with
them.
AY
My
community,
we
are
not
strangers
to
fear
or
to
the
sense
of
lust
of
security
or
to
the
pain,
but
we
know
that
as
a
community
as
a
whole
community
or
bolder
community,
we
are
going
to
overcome
this,
including
the
sense
of
loss
of
security,
but
we
also
want
to
see
from
our
legislators
action
not
only
words
but
actions
either
by
by
measures
of
gun,
control
or
or
more
funding
for
mental
health
and
yeah,
and
you
know
like
as
a
community
there's
that
sense
of
lust
of
of
security.
AY
So
please
we
want
to
see
action
for
change.
Thank
you.
AZ
Thank
you,
mayor
weaver.
Thank
you,
council.
My
name
is
marty.
My
pronouns.
Are
she
her
and
hers
tonight,
I'm
here
bringing
the
love
and
support
of
the
staff
and
the
board
of
out
boulder
county
albor
county
is
here
for
anyone
who
needs
support,
as
in
the
conversation
around
mental
health
on
our
website
outboulder.org,
you
will
find
a
mental
health
directory
that
is
inclusive
of
lgbtq
community
members.
AZ
AZ
He
was
unable
to
respond
to
until
the
following
day
when
the
name
of
the
shooter
became
public
the
following
morning.
The
first
message
I
sent
was
to
tracy
from
the
islamic
center,
who
spoke
earlier
tonight,
because
it's
obvious
that
that
or
that
that
muslims
are
going
to
be
the
next
ones
under
attack
tracy,
and
I
built
our
relationship
when
the
lgbtq
community,
the
jewish
community
and
the
queers
were
on
the
list
of
organizations
that
were
being
attacked.
AZ
So
that's
a
a
relationship
that
we've
built
in
a
time
of
trouble.
I
one
of
the
things
that
norma
spoke
about
it
and
I
heard
zan
in
particular,
speak
about.
It
is
connections
and
being
at
the
vigil
tonight
and
feeling
that
connection-
and
you
know,
boulders
had
its
share
from
the
fires
to
the
pandemic.
AZ
I
wasn't
going
to
go
down
the
road
of
mental
health
because
I
I
want
us
to
make
sure
you
know
to
honor,
and
I
you
know
the
ripples
of
all
of
this
people
are.
This
is
a
small
community
and
people
are
connected.
If
you
didn't
know
them
the
the
people
who
were
were
killed
directly.
AZ
You
know
somebody
who
knows
the
boyfriend
of
somebody
who
was
killed
or
the
child
if
somebody
was
killed,
and
so
that
was
today,
that
was
those
were
the
messages
I
was
getting
and
so
that's
hard
and
I
wasn't
going
to
go
down
the
the
road
of
coming
with
an
agenda,
but
I
think
the
the
public
officials
who
spoke
kind
of
opened
that
door
and
there
had
been
conversations
comments
since
then
around
mental
health,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
there
are
not
enough
mental
health
resources
in
this
town
I
have
spent.
AZ
In
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
We've
had
several
losses
in
the
lgbtq
community.
We
have
received
many
calls
from
people
in
need
and
who
are
on
the
edge
that
was
prior
to
the
shooting.
So
I
can
only
imagine
now
what
that
looks
like.
I
gave
you
referrals
those
people
are
all
booked.
There
are
no
medicaid
slots
in
this
town.
You
can
walk
down
a
block
and
there'll
be
five
therapists,
and
maybe
one
takes
medicaid.
AZ
We
have
some
real
issues
with
mental
health
and
I'm
not
speaking
about
the
shooter,
because
I
don't
know
anything,
but
what
I'm
telling
you
is.
The
impact
of
what
has
happened
is
another
layer
of
tragedy
that
is
happening
to
community
members
in
in
boulder
county
tonight
was
the
first
that
I
have
heard
that
there's
talk
about
a
mental
health
thing
that
we
judy
talked
about
the
tax.
AZ
I
will
say
that
I'm
pretty
sure
an
lgbtq
community
member
hasn't
been
brought
to
that
table
to
have
a
conversation
about
what
that
would
look
like.
I
don't
know
that
the
spanish-speaking
community
has
brought
to
that
table,
so
I
will
make
sure
and
do
everything
that
those
of
us
who
in
in
government
they
call
prioritized
populations
or
marginalized
if
they
slip,
need
to
be
part
of
building
whatever.
That
is
because
we
are
left
out
in
the
conversations
around
mental
health.
AZ
So
I
will,
I
will
make
do
the
best
to
make
sure
that
those
are
services
that
that
everybody,
because
if
we
can
all
reach
them,
they'll
be
the
best
services.
So
I
want
to
thank
city
council
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
and
for
convening
this.
AZ
My
heart
is
broken
for
boulder
and
my
heart
is
broken
for
the
families
and
friends,
and
I
do
want
to
give
up
I'm
so
proud
of
michael
dougherty.
We
are
so
lucky
to
have
him
as
our
district
attorney
and
chief
harold's
realness
in
sharing
the
news
with
us,
I
think,
was
sad
for
the
nation.
So
thank
you
all.

BA
Hello,
my
name
is
emma
seeger,
I'm
a
volunteer
with
mom's
demand
action.
I
would
like
to
start
by
setting
my
condolences
to
the
families
of
the
victims.
May
they
rest
in
peace
after
the
king
supers
massacre,
my
kids
elementary
school
sent
us
guidance
on
how
to
talk
to
kids
about
the
shooting.
They
said,
I'm
supposed
to
emphasize
that
my
kids
are
safe
at
school.
How
am
I
supposed
to
do
that?
I
can't
lie
to
my
kids.
They
aren't
safe
at
school,
I'm
not
safe
at
work
or
at
the
grocery
store.
No
one.
BA
America
is
safe
as
long
as
this
country
continues
to
put
profits
and
the
sex
success
of
the
nra
and
the
gun
industry
of
of
human
lives.
We've
been
doing
nothing
about
gun
safety
for
30
years
and
massacres
and
the
fear
they
generate
continue
to
drive
record
gun
sales,
weapons
of
war
designed
for
hunting
and
killing
humans.
BA
Don't
belong
in
civil
society
if
any
of
our
state
or
national
politicians
are
still
listening
on.
This
call
please
take
strong
action
and
enact
a
national
or
state
assault,
weapon,
ban,
enact
universal
background
checks
and
immunity
for
gun
manufacturers
and
ensure
that
people
with
a
history
of
domestic
violence
or
violent
crimes
can
never
own
a
gun.
Please
do
something
besides
saying
I
should
lie
to
my
kids
and
tell
them
they're
safe.
Thank
you.

The

Thank
you
mayor.
My
name
is
matthew
califano
and
I'm
a
member
on
the
beverages
licensing
authority
for
the
city,
as
was
as
the
mayor
said,
one
of
the
victims
of
monday
night's
tragedy,
kevin
mahoney.
I
personally
feel
honored
to
have
known
and
worked
with
him.
I
wanted
to
share
some
testimony
and
condolences
from
the
board
members
staff
and
council
from
member
mike
absalom.
D
He
was
a
pillar
of
our
community.
He
was
compassionate
about
the
people
and
establishments
in
the
city
of
boulder,
taught
me
so
much
about
how
to
navigate
the
colorado
liquor
code
and
the
impacts
we
can
have
on
our
licensed
establishments.
He
truly
cared
about
his
responsibility
to
care
for
the
safety
of
our
community.
D
He
will
never
be
forgotten.
Remember,
michael
friesen
kevin
always
had
a
smile
on
his
face
and
treated
everyone
with
respect.
He
brought
his
business,
accumulate
to
the
meetings
and
wasn't
afraid
to
ask
hard
questions.
I
appreciated
that
remember:
alyssa
lundgren.
We
were
blessed
to
have
served
beside
him,
an
honor
to
have
known
him.
He
was
an
asset
to
our
board
and
our
community.
My
favorite
thing
about
him
was
how
devoted
he
was
to
his
family.
How
proud
he
was
when
he
spoke
about
his
daughter.
D
D
D
D
D
A
BB
Thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
share
our
story.
I'm
a
victim
advocate
with
the
boulder
police
department.
If
you
don't
know
what
that
is,
we
are
a
group
of
volunteers
who
are
on
call
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
365
days
of
the
year
at
the
request
of
police
officers.
We
respond
to
the
scene
when
there
is
trauma,
and
there
are
victims
who
need
assistance,
it
could
be
suicides,
it
could
be
unattended
deaths,
it
could
be
bank
robberies,
it
could
be
drug
overdoses.
It
could
be
just
about
anything.
BB
I
want
to
share
with
you
what
we
are
doing
now
for
the
families
and
for
the
victims.
As
of
yesterday,
every
family
every
family
has
been
given
a
support
team.
There
are
three
people
on
the
support
team.
One
person
is
a
victim
advocate
with
the
boulder
police
department,
we're
responsible
for
working
with
their
immediate
needs.
BB
BB
BB
BB
BB
Some
of
the
families
want
information
on
how
to
present
their
loved
ones,
to
the
press,
so
that
people
will
get
a
good
just
a
good
idea
of
who
their
loved
one
was,
and
so
the
public
information
officer
is
there
to
help
them
do
that.
The
public
information
officer
will
also
be
with
them
from
yesterday
until
the
trial
is
over,
because,
unfortunately,
we
believe
that
the
media
will
be
here
from
yesterday
until
the
trial
is
over,
so
those
three
people
will
be
in
touch
with
them
almost
constantly
providing
anything
that
they
need.
BB
Also,
we
are
providing
funeral
assistance
if
they
need
that
we
are
providing
grease
grief
counseling
if
they
need
that
and
we
are
providing
plane,
transportation
and
hotels
in
town
for
families
who
are
coming
into
town
on
the
public
side.
On
the
victim
side,
monday
night,
there
were
a
group
of
us
who
were
at
the
police
department
and
they
were
bringing
in
busloads
of
people
from
king
supers,
the
buses
included
the
employees,
the
shoppers,
the
people
who
were
maybe
in
the
parking
lot.
BB
But
anybody
who
was
on
the
scene
when
the
shooting
happened
they
were
coming
to
the
police
department
and
the
buses
in
order
to
interview
the
police
officers
because
of
the
number
of
people
they
were
there
for
a
while,
and
so
we
had
an
opportunity
to
sit
with
them.
We
had
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
them.
They
had
amazing
stories
and
we
had
an
opportunity
to
understand
what
they
might
need.
BB
The
police
officers
who
are
interviewing
them
are
letting
us
know
if
they
talk
to
people
that
they
think
need
more
services.
If
they're
talking
to
people
that
they
think
need
counseling
and
as
the
information
comes
back
to
us,
we
are
calling
them
and
trying
to
provide
what
they
need.
BB
BB
Anybody
who
is
a
witness
a
victim
is
welcome
to
come
into
the
office.
We
can
provide
counselors
there
for
them.
We
can
provide
referrals
for
them.
We
hope
that
we
can
provide
anything
that
they
need.
The
assistance
office
is
open
from
ten
to
seven
there's
a
kind
of
a.
For
instance.
You
know,
as
the
employees
were
leaving
the
store
and
as
the
shoppers
were,
leaving
the
store
they
were
leaving
generally
in
a
hurry.
Their
cars
are
still
at
the
store.
There
were
employees
who
left
without
their
purse.
BB
Their
purses
are
still
at
the
store.
They
may
not
have
a
cell
phone,
they
may
need
a
cell
phone,
so
we
will
provide
a
temporary
cell
phone,
but
it's
that
kind
of
thing
that
they're
coming
in
to
the
assistant's
office
and
asking
for
help
with,
and
it's
that
kind
of
thing
that
we're
being
able
to
provide
for
them.
BB
Meanwhile,
I
just
want
everybody
to
remember,
and
sometimes
we
forget
that
the
police
are
working
this
situation,
while
they're
also
dealing
with
their
own
grief.
There
has
not
been
a
police
officer
lost
in
this
town
since
1995
and
it
has
been
devastating.
I
have
watched
what's
going
on
at
the
police
department,
it
has
been
devastating,
so
please
just
be
sensitive
to
that.
BB
BB
So
all
of
you,
if
you
know
of
anybody
who
was
at
the
scene
who
perhaps
hasn't,
talked
to
anybody,
there
were
people
we
have
heard
who
escaped
through
the
back
door,
and
maybe
they
haven't
been
in
contact
with
anybody.
If
you
know
of
anybody,
if
you
hear
of
anybody,
please
let
us
know,
because
we
need
to
hear
their
story
and
we
need
to
provide
them
with
any
services
that
they
need.
A
A
I
will
begin
briefly
by
saying
it
is
just
an
amazing
community
that
we
are
part
of
hearing
from
all
the
people
who
have
spoken
tonight
is
incredibly
moving
much
of
it's
incredibly
sad,
but
I
I
have
to
say
that
it
is
just
breathtaking
how
committed
our
residents
are
and
how
much
people
love
their
community,
which
is
not
the
place.
It's
the
people.
A
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
council
members
to
please
raise
their
hands
and
I'll
call
on
them.
I
know
that
after
hearing
what
we
heard
it's
hard
to
follow,
but
I
think
that,
just
like
our
state
and
federal
legislators
spoke
that.
BC
A
A
R
BD
First,
I
want
to
start
with
three
thank
yous.
First,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
police
officers
in
our
community.
If
any
of
you
are
listening
tonight,
I
know
that
each
one
of
you
knows
that
by
protecting
us
from
harm
you
expose
yourself
to
harm
and
any
one
of
you
could
have
been
officer
tally
on
monday.
BD
Second,
thank
you.
I
want
to
extend
this
to
you,
sam
over
the
last
48
hours.
You've
done
as
proud.
You've
spoken
to
the
president
of
the
united
states.
You've
spoken
to
national
international
press,
you've
kept
the
community
and
the
world
informed,
and
I
am
very
proud
of
you
and
I
thank
you
so
much
for
representing
our
city
in
our
city
council.
BD
Finally,
I
want
to
thank
the
community
members
who
courageously
spoke
this
evening.
Well
tonight
has
been
painful.
It's
also
been
the
most
beautiful
and
meaningful
city
council
meeting
that
I
have
ever
attended.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
sharing
deeply
with
us.

BE
Thank
you
sam.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
spoke
this
evening.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
eloquence.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
passion
and
I
hope
we
can
take
it
all
to
heart.
We
heard
many
specific
policy
suggestions
this
evening
and
I'm
not
going
to
discuss
those.
We
know
what
has
to
be
done.
We
simply
have
to
have
the
collective
will
to
do
it
tonight.
I
am
simply
going
to
add
a
brief
personal
comment.
BE
We
saw
on
that
day,
particularly
those
of
officer
talley,
who
died
in
the
service
of
the
community.
He
had
sworn
to
protect
and
who
gave
what
lincoln
described
as
the
last
full
measure
of
devotion
to
our
community
and
finally
to
act
in
such
a
way
as
to
show
the
world
that,
in
this
city
in
our
city,
death
shall
never
have
dominion
that
we
will
survive.
BF
I
have
a
lot
of
appreciation
for
a
lot
of
what
was
said
tonight.
It
was
just
I
don't
have
any
other
word
for
it,
but
beautiful
and
I
heard
a
lot
of
references
to
bridges,
bridges.
You
know
about
the
fragmentation.
BF
BF
Traveler,
there
are
no
bridges,
we
build
them
as
we
go,
and
so
I
hope
that
as
we
build
these
bridges
over
these
treacherous
waters
of
this
tragic
event
as
we
go
to
places
we've
never
been
to,
and
we
never
thought
that
we
would
have
to
go
to
that.
We
do
this
together
and
that
for
a
moment-
and
perhaps
even
longer,
we
put
aside
our
differences
and
work
together
to
first
of
all
help
these
families,
through
this
horrible
horrible
event
and
what
they
must
be
feeling
and
then
our
community
and
then
to
do
something
about
this.
BF
BF
R
Well,
it's
been
an
extraordinary
evening
listening
to
all
of
our
community
members,
incredible
moving
testimony
it's
in
tears
multiple
times,
and
I
can
only
say
thank
you
to
everyone
who
came
and
shared
their
thoughts.
Obviously
this
is
an
incredibly
difficult
time,
I'll
just
say
a
few
words.
I
need
to
start
by
thinking
the
officer
eric
talley
for
his
bravery
and
for
his
ultimate
sacrifice.
R
We
owe
him
a
debt
that
we
can
never
repay,
and
so
I'm
just
incredibly
grateful
to
him
and
to
the
entire
boulder
police
department
and
who
put
themselves
in
harm's
way
on
monday
and
many
other
days
to
protect
our
community
and
to
thank
all
the
other
first
responders,
the
older
fire
department
and
then
from
departments
all
across
the
front
range.
R
Who
came
to
our
aid
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
assistance
and
then
I
offer
my
very
sincerest
condolences
to
the
families
and
friends
and
loved
ones
of
the
people
that
we
lost
on
monday.
BG
Thanks
sam,
I
guess
I
want
to
start
out
on
more
of
a
personal
note
to
our
first
headquarters
and
I
just
want
to
say
as
a
fellow
first
responder
my
heart
goes
out
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
in
a
very
sincere
deep
way.
BG
I
know
that
this
past
year,
with
the
unrest
in
america
and
our
community
has
probably
taken
a
big
toll
as
well,
and
so
please
know
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
my
husband's
heart
who's
in
the
military.
We
thank
you
so
deeply
for
your
service.
I
know
you've
not
probably
always
seen
it
from
members
of
the
community
or
across
our
nation.
We
truly
love
and
appreciate
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service.
So
I'm
pleased
to
know
that
there
are
many
many
of
us
who
support
you.
BG
Heartbreak
for
for
the
community
members
who
had
to
go
for
this
for
the
trauma
that
you're
experiencing
and
please
know
that
I
think
our
community
stands
with
you.
Your
counsel
stands
with
you.
Our
first
responders
are
not
alone,
and
many
of
us
are
keeping
you
in
our
thoughts.
So
thank
you
for
for
the
beautiful
sentiment
tonight.
BG
It
was
heard
and
we
appreciate
everybody,
so
I
can't
say
much
more.
That
was
better
than
what
was
spoken.
I
think
today,
and
we
just
we
thank
you
all
and
thanks
for
being
a
part
of
our
community.
A
Thank
you
nearby,
rachel
and
then
I'll
come
back
to
mary
and
then
adam
rachel.
BC
BC
The
whole
community
feels
your
loss
and
grieves
with
you.
We
will
never
forget
your
loved
ones
and
we
will
do
everything
we
can
to
support
you
all
listening
to
the
comments
from
our
speakers
tonight.
The
sorrow
throughout
our
community
is
palpable
and
overwhelming
as
a
resident
of
self-older
myself.
BC
BC
We
have
many
societal
ills
that
we
need
to
fix
to
prevent
acts
of
violence
and
atrocities,
but
in
terms
of
gun
violence
we
do
necessarily
have
to
include
a
focus
on
the
guns,
something
that
nikhil
mankikar
said
tonight
really
resonated
for
me
that
gun
violence
steadily
erodes
our
feeling
of
being
safe
in
this
world
and
in
our
community
we
need
to
heal
as
a
community,
and
we
need
to
create
a
world
in
which
we
can
feel
safe.
BC
New
zealand's
prime
minister
jacinda
adern
announced
only
five
days
after
a
mass
shooting
in
new
zealand
that
new
zealand
would
be
in
semi-automatic
weapons,
assault
rifles
and
high-capacity
magazines.
Jacinda
adern
met
the
moment.
We
as
a
city
council,
cannot
meet
this
moment
alone,
so
I
am
asking
for
colorado
elected
officials
to
meet
this
moment
with
us,
as
new
zealand's
prime
minister
did.
I
am
looking
for
unequivocal
commitments
from
state
elected
officials
to
change
the
law,
so
I'm
asking
for
boulder
state
legislators
and
our
governor
to
commit
to
three
changes
passed
during
this
session
number
one.
BC
We
need
a
statewide
ban
on
assault,
weapons
and
large
capacity
magazines
that
cannot
be
deferred
to
federal
government
action.
Of
course,
we
all
hope
that
the
federal
government
will
take
action,
but
state
lawmakers
cannot
count
on
that
number
two.
We
need
the
state
to
repeal
the
state,
preemption
law
and
number
three.
We
need
to
expand
the
list
of
prohibited
firearm
purchasers
to
include
those
with
violent
misdemeanor
histories.
BC
BF
Yes,
and
with
my
deepest
apologies
to
the
family
of
eric
talley,
he
was
at
the
top
of
my
list
and
I
was
gonna
go
back
and
I
forgot
to
do
that
quite
honestly.
So,
with
all
due
respect,
my
apologies
and
I
extend
my
condolences
to
the
family
of
eric
talley.
This
afternoon
I
visited
the
memorial
at
police
headquarters
and
it
was
there
were
a
lot
of
people
there
more
flowers
than
you
could
ever
think
of,
and
it
was
very,
very
moving
and
very
personal
because
you
knew
it
was
his
vehicle.
BH
Thank
you
sam.
I
will
start
by
marrying
a
lot
of
what
my
fellow
council
members
have
said.
Thank
you
to
all
the
speakers
who
spoke
tonight.
It
was
truly
touching.
Thank
you
to
all
the
first
responders
and
I
my
deepest
condolences
to
the
victims
and
their
families.
BH
There
is
no
excuse
for
this,
and
there
never
will
be.
I
wanted
to
share
briefly
since
I'm
the
youngest
person
on
council.
I'm
gonna
fill
my
role
and
speak
for
the
younger
generation.
BH
My
first
sort
of
memories
are:
stop
drop
and
roll,
that's
what
we
were
taught
in
school
and
that's
become
run
hide
fight.
BH
BH
BH
BH
BH
BH
This
has
really
really
been
a
tough
situation
and
on
one
light
note
when
I
went
to
the
memorials
I
got
to
first,
I
got
to
hug
my
first
stranger
in
over
a
year,
and
that
is
one
of
the
most
meaningful
experiences
I've
ever
had
in
my
life,
and
I
never
thought
that
would
be
the
case.
So
there's
a
lot
of
hope
out
there,
but
the
inevitable
is
coming
so
be
prepared
for
it.
K
Thank
you.
Sam
following
adam's
footsteps
is
very
very
difficult
because
I
can
hear
the
pain
in
his
heart,
which
is
very
painful
as
another
human
being
just
to
hear
that
as
well.
K
K
K
K
A
Thank
you
junior,
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
community
again
for
showing
up
tonight
and
sharing
your
emotions.
It
is
a
step
that
was
needed.
It's
needed
by
me,
it's
needed
by
our
council,
it's
needed
by
our
staff
and
our
whole
community.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
sharing,
and
I
want
to
say
I'm
sorry
and
who
I'm
sorry
to
is
the
younger
generation
we'll
start
with
adam
on
down
anyone
who
has
grown
up
having
to
learn
those
skills
to
survive
in
a
school
deserves
an
apology
from
all
of
us
who
are
older.
A
A
It
is
deadly
and
is
evil,
and
we
must
take
the
weapons
of
human
destruction
out
of
the
hands
of
people
who
are
not
fit
to
use
them,
and
that
is
almost
everyone,
but
we
need
to.
We
need
to
step
up
to
the
challenge.
This
means
us.
This
means
us
pressing.
Our
legislators-
and
this
means
us
telling
them
that,
if
you're
afraid
of
losing
your
job,
that's
not
what
you
should
be
afraid
of.
