Baton Rouge Mall shooter had recent gun convictions, and his ankle monitor was removed by "Online Court" Commissioner 3 days ago. However much you hate the government, it's not enough. https://t.co/6nZVOUXIAE
Her name was Martha Odom.
Seventeen years old. A senior at Ascension Episcopal down here in Lafayette. A writer. A dancer. Her school called her a joyful presence whose kindness brought light to everyone who knew her. She and two classmates were grabbing food at the mall yesterday. Minding their business. Just innocent kids in an innocent place until a group of thugs decided to settle their business with bullets in a public food court.
Her parents shouldn't be making plans to bury their daughter this weekend. They should be making graduation plans, summer plans..
Pray for the Odom family. Pray for Ascension. Pray for the two kids still fighting to heal.
And pray those thugs face every ounce of what they earned yesterday.
Say her name tonight. Martha Odom.
NEW: Social media philanthropist, Jimmy Darts, helps raise $150,000 for a struggling family in Oklahoma.
The young boy had previously gone viral after he told Darts that God had been good to him despite his family's struggles.
"Amanda shared with me that she is only a month away from homelessness. She has no car, no money for groceries, and is doing everything she can to care for her children and grandchildren," Darts said on GoFundMe.
"Her son Cody was with her, and through tears he shared that he’s been bullied at school, but still said that God has been good to him."
God bless them.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are enough just by existing. Who you are in this moment is enough to make you special and unique. Know that.
Have a good night. 👍👍
@Verizon Can we please get assistance with sending two phones in for credit? We have been back and forth with the store and phone workers to no avail for weeks. This has been a long and unnecessary process.
I’ve sat through over 50 hours of Charlie Kirk’s videos as an ethnically Black American.
Not one racist word.
Not 1.
What Democrats do is cut snippets, strip context, and shove sound bites at the same gullible slob audience too lazy to fact-check.
That isn’t exposing racism .. it’s manufacturing lies to spark division.
“I'm a lifelong Democrat and I have spent hours out of my life the past few days watching Charlie Kirk debates”
She’s having an awakening after seeing that all the clips the media used to villainize Charlie Kirk were ALL LIES, they were all clipped and out of context
“The example I want to use is that clip that was everywhere that went viral, everybody was quoting it where Charlie said, I don't like the word empathy. We've probably all seen the short and the long version at this point where he goes on to clarify that he prefers the word sympathy.
Agree with them or disagree with them, doesn't matter to me. The point is the real conversation never happened because the clip was cut in half. Why? To reinforce the idea that the right is full of these monsters who reject human feelings.
That that wasn't an accident. That omission was deliberate and strategic”
She talks about how her own Party has become a “mob mentality”
“It's not about Charlie Kirk. It's about us taking the time to reflect. Are we living up to our own standards and our own ideals? Are we leading with Integrity? Are we just falling into a different version of the same trap? Because from my viewpoint, I don't know, it feels like we're becoming a lot like the things we claim to stand against”
The NFL, NBA and MLB spoke out forcefully in 2020 following the killing of George Floyd. But those same leagues that raised their voices about Floyd have so far remained silent about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Their silence is telling us who they are

I don’t care right now about the haters on cable. I don’t care about anodyne statements from politicians about Charlie.
I only care about 3 things:
1. That his killer be caught, tried and given the ultimate punishment;
2. That we pray for his family, friends and colleagues and do everything possible to ease their pain; and
3. That we amplify Charlie’s message to the mountaintops and not retreat in spreading it even one fucking inch.
Instead of sharing the horrific, vile, & heart-stopping video of Charlie Kirk being shot, I urge you to share images of his beautiful family whose worst nightmare has come true.
Every kid deserves a dad.
Every wife deserves a husband.
Every American needs Charlie Kirk.
