I look at the flag today in front of our federal building and it is September 14, 2023. Our flag is still flying half-staff. Many of the workers have quit from our housing project over the years.
Sadly, someone was stabbed yesterday and is in critical condition. The person stabbed is not memorable as she walks in her own dangerous circle. So no, the flag is not half-staff for her. The flag has been this way since 9-11.
Why is it this person could not be helped? Sadly, I don't know.
I just came to the realization the other day that her attacker asked for ice cream and cake at my birthday party. I didn't know him well, but if he wanted cake and ice cream who was I to tell him no. I had no idea he had a drinking problem and could be dangerous.
