R.C.: Vigil for whom, or for what reason?

So, will there now be another vigil to honor those who were shot at the first vigil?

Will this go on ad infinitum?

Highly dangerous to attend a "ghetto vigil"-you'd think no one would ever go to one.

A possible mass shooting at Parkrose High School in Portland was thwarted when 18 yr. old student Angel Granados Dias was tackled while carrying a gun into the school by Keanon Lowe, a black football coach. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2019/05/officers-spot-person-with-gun-near-parkrose-high-school-police-on-scene.html
Media heavily covered Mr. Lowe's heroic act but only one outlet, channel 6 news, has posted the shooters name and face despite him being publicly identified for nearly a full day now. Very likely because it is a hispanic kid and not a white one. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2019/05/police-identify-parkrose-high-school-student-who-they-say-carried-shotgun-into-school.html
It's not because he's technically a child, he is 18 years old and a legal adult, which was reported when the story first hit.
One of my nephews attends Parkrose but was not at school that day.
