Month: June 2020

Greetings from beautiful Los Angeles on our 104th day of quarantine! As of today, the COVID-19 has claimed over a half-a-million lives worldwide – almost 130,000 lives in the United States and of these 40,000 in Metro New York City alone! In the USA, apocalyptic surges in numbers are again being seen! In the midst of this unprecedented pandemic in our lifetime, on May 25th in Minneapolis came the horrifying murder of George Floyd – an unarmed African-American man at the hands of a Caucasian police officer. This ungodly police brutality began after the officer handcuffed Mr. Floyd, and then, with his knee pinned Mr. Floyd’s neck to the ground for 8 minutes and 46 seconds; 2 minutes and 53 seconds of which occurred after Mr. Floyd became unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital at 9:25PM. Mr. Floyd’s last words were, “I can’t breathe.” This event revealed centuries of racial injustices by “Whites against Blacks” and ignited a firestorm of protests in all of America’s large cities, as well as in many nations around the world!
