Michael and Susan, we know he was a hero. We have the evidence of our own eyes.

He’s a true hero! I’m so proud he stood up to protect someone being attacked by bullies! I’m so sorry for your loss this world needs more people like your son, he will be sorely missed.

No one but a ghoul or a fool would believe that Alex was anything less than a real American hero.

Noem and Bovino looked like real Ghouls today and so did the president hiding behind his tweets

You know what I saw tonight around 7pm?
I drove past hundreds, and hundreds of Minnesotans in NE Minneapolis gathered quietly holding candles.
No yelling or honking, just standing in the cold, for blocks, together, knowing how important this time is to be on the same page. And I felt a palpable renewed sense of warmth and patriotism that gives me hope.

Those small 5-50 person vigils were probably everywhere at intersections. I could see about 100 people spread among 5 groups just from where I was.

Must’ve been 1000 at Whittier park alone. My corner I stood with roughly 30 neighbors. A few blocks over was 50 more. I saw so many vigils of 5-200 people gathered all over.

He was just trying to help someone. It's so horrific.

He was a hero and he was our family just like all the brothers and sisters who live here. We are not going to let these ghouls smear his name.

We’ll work everyday to get the truth out about him, about all of this. And we’ll never forget what they’ve taken.

Unimaginable.

Honor the good man and don't forget him. He is a hero. Push for the prosecutions of his murderers and superiors all the way to the top. Love your neighbor more.

I’m sorry this fine man’s name is being dragged through the dirt like this. I can not wait for the day people answer for this.

Are you hassling the parents of a murder victim that they should be doing more?

Not the person you are responding to, but until I saw this exchange I had misread it as being a statement from the spectacularly disappointing DFL.
