Statement
from City of Orlando, twitted on July 3:
“A lot of people probably
don’t want to celebrate our nation right now, and we can’t blame them,” the
original statement said, according to WESH-TV. “When there is so much division,
hate and unrest, why on earth would you want to have a party celebrating any of
it?”
A lot of people said, “Hang
on just a minute,” so the city fixed its proclamation.
“The city of Orlando
sincerely regrets the negative impact our words have had on some in our
community. We understand these words offended some of our residents, which was
not our intent. We value the freedoms we have in this country and are thankful
to the men and women who fought and continue to fight for those. We take pride
in celebrating the 4th of July to express our gratitude to those men and women
and honor the country we live in.”
Got that? The city was not
wrong in what it said, it’s just that some people were offended.
