Flags lowered immediately in memory of victims of Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting
SALT LAKE CITY (Oct. 29, 2018) – This morning, in coordination with the proclamation of President Donald J. Trump, Gov. Gary R. Herbert ordered the lowering of the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the State of Utah effective immediately in solemn memory of those killed in the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The governor has issued the following statement:
"Jeanette and I mourn with the people of Pittsburgh and Jewish communities across the world in the wake of this weekend's shooting. I grew to love the people of Pittsburgh as a young man when I served there as a volunteer representative for my church. I admire their close families, their work ethic and their cultural diversity. My prayers are with the families who lost loved ones. Our houses of worship should be places of refuge and peace, and it is devastating to see this peace so cruelly attacked. I am heartsick at the open contempt and violent bigotry on display throughout our country."
Flags will be flown at half-staff at all state facilities and public grounds from sunrise until sunset through Wed., Oct. 31, 2018. Individuals and businesses are encouraged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of time.

OCTOBER 25, 2018 - Can't Swim have released a brand-new song and music video for "sometimes you meet the right people at the wrong times", taken from their highly anticipated sophomore album This Too Won't Pass, which will be released on November 16 through Pure Noise Records.
"'Sometimes you meet the right people at the wrong times' was written on the back of a photograph and given to me as a parting gift when breaking up with an ex-girlfriend," lead vocalist and guitarist Chris LoPorto said. "It really put so much into perspective at the time and eventually found it's way into the subject matter of this song. It packs a lot of power and exciting rhymes, making it one of my favorites on the record. I think if "Stranger" and "Your Clothes" had a baby, it would be this song."

This Too Won't Pass is a brutally honest album made by people for whom music means everything and want their music to mean the same to others. In the ten tracks that make up the album, Can't Swim are able to articulate our struggles with the people, places and events that continue to shape our lives and scrape our hearts.
During the recording process, LoPorto found himself gravitating towards the meaning of the word 'evil'; a catch-all word that summarized the malevolence he felt about a number of elements in his life, be it the events of a past he continues to be governed by, and the wrongdoing he's observed in his immediate surroundings and society as a whole.
"Problems haunt you, infect you, and in time become a part of who you are," LoPorto explains, "You might find ways to distract yourself or try and forget but every time you look in the mirror you'll only see reminders of what you hate. Evil surrounds us and in time, becomes a part of who we are. Let this band be a reminder of that."
The band previously released the song and music video for "My Queen", which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/tyZIVwOKWU0

One Law to Rule Them All: Thou Shall Not Kill
By Kary Love
400 words
Routine mayhem in America is the “new normal?” Not only is it not “normal” it is not “new.” The soul searching and despairing cries of “Why?” echo again across the nation. The blood of one group of victims is not even dry before the next massacre occurs. How to account for it?
The calls go out for new laws, new law enforcers, new punishments, increasing use of the “death penalty.” None has worked in the past, but no matter, the devolution into insanity proceeds apace on all sides of the debate, at least as defined by Albert Einstein, if apocryphally: “doing the same things over again and expecting a different result.”
I have a radical suggestion: try something different. Once, long ago, the evolution of humanity threw up a supreme law, one that ought to rule all laws, if the heaving mass of animalistic proto-humans were to rise to human being. Thou shall not kill.
That is and must be the first law. It must rule all other law. All other law must be subordinate to it, and must be interpreted and applied consistent with it, or all law fails its task of approaching justice. Why?
If killing is not repudiated, it invites more killing. Revenge cycles abound. Killing, ironically, is pregnant, not with life, but with more killing. Pregnant with death. Once killing is embraced as justice, there is no end to killing but in the silence of the universal graveyard. This was the ancient wisdom revealed in this one law to rule them all: start with no killing and the rest of justice may follow.
America’s cries of confusion amid the bloodletting, the desperate chest pounding, hair tearing grief and accusations arising on all sides, pointing one at another, resound yet again. But the answer is clear, it stares us in the face, as a nation, as a people, we have abandoned the one law to rule them all.
Americans embrace killing both at home and abroad. It is our law that authorizes it. It is our armed forces that stand athwart the world daily killing. It is our allies we empower and enable to commit genocide. It is Americans who espouse mercenary armies to make killing our nation’s business. It is our arsenals of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons armed and triggered in constant readiness that threaten the death daily of all humanity. Our laws drip with blood, death penalties, police shootings without accountability, and mass incarceration of our fellow citizens to spirit killing prisons, destroying lives, families and communities, a living death.
Has god turned his face from America? Or has America turned its face from god? It matters little which, or, if both, are true. The only thing that matters is that America awakens to the ancient truth for every person everywhere: one law must rule them all—thou shall not kill.
