Tonight please pray for all the innocent lives that will be lost in Syria due to the airstrike decision which has been agreed upon.

[apersnicketylemon]

So everyone is clear: The civilians have no escape. The innocent people cannot get out. Governments told them to evacuate or they will die. The ISIL militants have said they will kill every person who leaves their house.

There IS no escape for these people, and the government will try to claim they gave ‘fair warning’ to the civilians and will try to claim all casualties must therefore be ISIL members or too stubborn. This is a war crime, this is murder, and there is no chance for these innocent people who want no part in this to escape.

Please, please pray for them tonight or send positive vibes or whatever you do, please do not forget these are innocent people who have done nothing wrong and just wanted to live their lives.

This is a real thing that is happening. There’s an entire coalition of nations participating. World leaders really said yes to bombing a country because a group of people responsible for some of the worst terrorist actions in recent history are in that country. Are you aware of the fact that there are innocent civilians, innocent families, in that country who are being forced to stay and to obey the directives of this terrorist organization? There’s a grandmother comforting her grandson while the ground rocks and the electricity goes out, who can’t tell him that the reason they haven’t run away is that they at least have a chance of surviving randomly-distributed bombs while they don’t stand a chance against the guns those terrible people carry. “Innocent civilians” is more than just words. Those are real people who have no way out and who have been turned away when they sought one. There’s someone just like you; oldest or youngest sibling, a parent, monetary trouble, living a comfortable life working and pursuing their future, etc. There’s someone who is basically living your life, and who is terrified for themselves, their friends, their family. Think about THAT before you dismiss this, because this is horrific. And it should scare and sicken you.

REMINDERS:

Retail/food service/customer service employees sometimes have a moment to chat with their customers, but:

Don’t ask about their schedule

Don’t ask if they’re single

Don’t ask for their full name

Don’t ask where they live

Even if they’re super nice to you

They’re expected to be super nice to EVERYONE

It is part of the job

Please, please, PLEASE don’t ask where they live, it’s CREEPY and TERRIFYING. 

Your patronage does not entitle you to harassment.

Bonus: Retail/food service/customer service employees: Please don’t feel pressured to share that sort of information with a customer. Even if they’re a regular, someone who tips, etc. 

Tell them no. Tell them it’s not ok. Lie if you need to, but please be safe. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
