I can not sleep! Every time I close my eyes the tears come. I don’t know I’ll be able to utter the words “I’m sorry for your loss” to my friend of 20 yrs. her son Jeremy’s life was cut short Monday. Tomorrow is the funeral and I can not sleep. 1/T
In situations like these of course I think of my own boys. I play the “what if game”. What if Jeremy was white instead of black would I be up right now preparing for his home going service? 2/T
What if the shooter would’ve know that when Jeremy was a kid he suffered a TBI, would he have handled the situation differently? What if the shooter would’ve know that (if the girl is who we all think she is) was the aggressor would Jeremy still be alive? 3/T
The problem with “what if’s” is they’re not. The shooter didn’t know Jeremy. The shooter saw a black man (small in stature) in a physical altercation with a white woman and took it upon himself to shoot and kill Jeremy. He didn’t ask questions. 4/T
He shouted demands. Demands that Jeremy most likely didn’t fully understand because he didn’t fully grasp social ques. Demands that didn’t make sense to a man who felt like he’d most likely been put in a situation to have to defend hisself against a woman he’d 5/T
Already fled from in the past. Jeremy was not a violent person. It was hard to incite him to anger. So, the account being told by @ProvoPolice & the vigilante are so overwhelming out of character that it’s hard to wrap my head around. If it’s hard for me, I know his 6/T
Parents, especially his mom must be struggling with these alternative facts. I pray that God will place comforting words on my heart that can in turn speak to Jeremy’s mom. I pray that I can be still and lean on the Lord in this moment. 7/T
Please pray for Utah County Attorney David Leavitt that he Will throughly investigate the vigilante shooter. Pray a prayer of strength over me a@d the family & other friends of Jeremy Sorensen. Be blessed 💕T 8/Tamu
