WHAT IF OUR ENVIRONMENT COULD BE GIVEN A VOICE?

What would it sound like? Would nature’s voice reflect the roaring sounds of wildfires consuming the forests, or the cries of countless birds killed by wind turbines and environmental poisons? Or would we hear the ethnic minority’s tears, because of the injustices that strip away their freedom? Today, we need to take the opportunity and the responsibility to listen to the spoken and unspoken voices. Our action—or inaction—will make a lasting imprint on the world for generations to come.

Such a strange case, if you have heard about it. Watching the “Purge” movie and killed. Appears a random killing thus far. Arrest made. Corona.

 




UPDATE: An arrest has been made in the case of the Corona movie theater shooting.
Jail booking logs show 20-year old Joseph Jimenez was arrested around 4am this morning on murder, robbery w gun and attempted murder charges. Corona police have confirmed the arrest was made in connection to the theater shooting.
The victims were identified as 18-year old Rylee Goodrich and 19-year old Anthony Barajas, both from Corona. Barajas is presently on life support in the hospital.
A GoFundMe page for one of the victims says it was "a senseless act of violence while watching the 9:35 p.m. showing of The Forever Purge with a friend at a Corona." Police have not confirmed any other details.

The following locations sold to the minor decoy during this operation:
