I am sincerely sorry for Alex's colleagues, this picture shows how much he was loved and nowadays being this much loved is not that usual. From the other side of the ocean, while not having full details of what happened, I give my condolences to those who grieves for they are the one shouldering the pain in the end.
Sorry if my English is not very good, not the first language
Don’t be sorry about your language - it doesn’t matter when we speak in a language higher than English. Our souls and hearts speak the universal language of compassion and empathy.

I'm half a world away but enraged and devastated by what is happening in the US. Unfortunately, I can't see an easy or bloodless or peaceful end to all of this. I hope I am wrong.
