Swifties For Southport - Tumblr Posts
Southport is my home town. I grew up there, went to school there, played there. My family and friends are there. My grandparents live less than a minute away from where the attack happened.
I can’t even begin to comprehend the attack on a group of children just wanting to dance to their favourite singer. I don’t understand how somebody could be filled with such hatred.
I am shocked and disgusted by the actions of the attacker, but also by the actions of those who turned a peaceful vigil to remember those poor girls into a political protest. Their actions against Muslims and the mosque which they were attacking are abhorrent and, in my opinion, they just as bad as the attacker himself.
The pain of the family and friends of the victims is unimaginable. The pain everybody in my home town is feeling is palpable. I have no words. This is not the Southport I know. This is not the Southport I grew up in.
Please, if you can, support the families of the victims by donating using the link below. This fundraiser has been verified and all of the money will go to the girls’ families and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital who have been integral in saving many children’s lives.
