While Commissioner Jennings was having her Winter Solstice Party on Saturday Night, celebrating all good things on the longest darkest night of the year, there was another party one street away on N. D where a person was shot and another stabbed.
The celebration of the Winter Solstice, with an origin of “holy days,” is described as the way human beings mark the sacred times in the yearly cycle of life. The difference in the gatherings is one group attended by many pacifists was talking and thinking about the value of all lives, new beginnings with hope for the future while the other showed that life is not sacred to them at any time of the year.
