Why did the Rodney King situation resonate so widely but similar and worse situations didn’t it? Video. What do you think of when you hear Peter Gabriel’s song Sledge Hammer, or Michael Jackson’s Thriller, the music videos. What do you think of when you hear the words, “Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind., the video of Armstrong walking on the moon. How many of you watched the video of the beheading of James Foley or Steven Sotloff? Most of you didn’t watch it because you know you would never get the image out of your head even though you know they were beheaded. The video of the punch did make a difference and my hope is everyone will remember that image and their feelings of anger toward the abuser the next time they read the words domestic violence. We are two days away from 9/11, please conjure that image up in your head and remember the many many innocent people who died that day and pray for them and their families.
