"No sense we are not in for this mood."

adunnimckinson:

"You’re a brilliant man sir but this is damage control .David doesn’t need anyone’s validation & our sympathy won’t bring his son back . It won’t kill yoh to show small empathy and not trying to shade him at a time like this . God doesn’t like ugly , we hope your sudden campaign for children doesn’t end today , we will be watching."
