There were many tears. Steven himself said that in Ireland there are more stories of forgiveness than there are street corners. Steven's story is so important, because only yesterday in Kingston High School, my alma mater, there was a threat of shooting, which just about closed the community. Steven and I had the honor of addressing the Kingston High School student body only a few weeks ago. So after you hear Steven's story, be determined that violence is never the answer.
Forgiveness is the answer.
With forgiveness, everybody is a winner, nobody is a loser. When you choose violence, you destroy. Please respect our police officers. They need all the respect they can get, and hopefully many of you young people will, after hearing Steven's story, choose to go into law enforcement. Our society depends on it, otherwise there would be a lot more violence.
