I HAVE ASKED CORPORATE AMERICA TO STEP UP
BY PLACING MOTIVATIONAL AND INSPIRATIONAL QUOTATIONS
ON THEIR SOFT DRINK CUPS AND MALL POSTERS.
AN EMAIL I SENT TO MALL MANAGEMENT SCROLL DOWN TO BOTTOM
I LEFT A BLOG ON THE MUSKOGEE PHOENIX NEWSPAPER REGARDING
THE VIOLENT KILLING INCIDENT AT ARROWHEAD MALL OKLAHOMA.
I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE EPIDEMIC OF TEEN VIOLENCE.
AS A PUBLIC SERVICE AND FROM MY PEACE OFFICER BACK GROUND
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU PLACE MOTIVATIONAL MATERIAL ON MALL
POSTERS IN THE HOPE OF INSPIRING AND TURNING SOME YOUNG
LIVES AROUND BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR THEM AND SOCIETY.
PRESENTED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE. I AM NOT ADVOCATING MY
POSITIVE SUCCESS QUOTATIONS, JUST TRYING TO FILL A VOID
MISSING IN OUR SOCIETY AND TRYING TO THINK PREEMPTIVE.
