I heard that man's speech and I felt so proud of some of the people in this country, the other people are watching Fux Ruse and loading their weapons.

"It was organized by CelebrateMercy and MPower Change, Muslim-American non-profits.
We wish to respond to evil with good, as our faith instructs us, and send a powerful message of compassion through action," the groups said in a statement.

Fundraising proceeds will go toward meeting the short-term needs of the injured victims and grieving families, including funeral expenses and medical bills."

Here is the link to donate...
