Never forget that nine years ago this week, a Black mother begged a white homeowner to help her and her two babies (4& 2 years old) outside his door during Hurricane Sandy.
Instead, he put his back against the door and the two children drowned.

His response when he found out that he had literally turned his back on a mother and let two kids drown to death outside his door?
"It's unfortunate. She shouldn't have been out, though. You know, it's one of those things."

This story will never stop haunting and horrifying me. I still think about these parents and this mother, sending them healing and my deepest sympathy for an unspeakable loss.
Rest in peace, Connor and Brandon.
