Please take time this week to remember Brent Martin
Wear a black arm band this week to not only remember Brent but to also protest his murder.
It’s not okay to hurt a brother.
You can leave your messages of condolence for his family here.

Thank you for making more of us aware of this story Jacqui. So shocking to know that this kind of cruelty goes on, right here, right now.
Kinda makes me want to subscribe to the “eye for an eye” view – i.e. subjecting his attackers to the same treatment they gave Brent. I know that’s not really the answer though…
It also took me a few visits to realise that the blue “Wear a black armband” text is a link to Dave’s blog – fabulous as always. Yes, my hair is blonde.

What shocks me most about this is the fact that there were witnesses. Who did NOTHING!
