This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.
This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.

Very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with @thebarcouncil yesterday to discuss ways we can better deal with sexual harassment at the Bar. Here’s to achieving some real change and making clear there is simply no room for this kind of behaviour in our profession🙅🏼♀️
