1. Heartbroken parents and families. A girl's father, who is a doctor, was broken by the reality that someone could kill his sweetheart. His statements, 'I want my daughter back'  and 'let's imagine a world without the violence' both through tears, were heartbreaking.  His life was brought to such a brutal reality. He left in brand new Porche Careera, and in his world, violence does not affect his family.

2. Lots of platitudes and bullsh*t from the council and MP.

3. Religious leaders told us about the importance of loving each other. It felt surreal when each one of them mentioned a different god. Also, all these gods are against the PRIDE agenda, but let's just skip this part for now 

4. People stood like sheep while parents reminded us not to blame any religion or race.

Interesting vigil. None of the usual rabble from rent-a-mob who so adore vigils were in attendance.
