"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

Wisconsin has a rich German heritage to it hence why it has a rich beer brewing industry. Maybe they are visiting relatives or something and they are on their back to Chicago O Hare or something.
Oh and according to google translate the guy said “you can not just go harass foreign in gas stations. we are not belgium.”
I think Google Translate may have been used to generate the dialogue to begin with. It’s the German equivalent of Engrish.
IT’S ALMOST AS IF I DON’T SPEAK GERMAN.
*Gasp!* Das kann nicht wahr seihen!
That’s not what Google translate outputs if you put it in as two sentences… and have the capitalization right (which admittedly doesn’t come through in the all-caps font I use).
If you feel like fixing the German, it should be something like, “Du kannst nicht einfach Fremde in Tankstellen belästigen!”
(As it is, the strip is really weird: why would these people talk to each other in broken German? Unless neither of them is actually German, but that’s the only language they both kinda know?…)
