More Good News, this one being under the subheading of Feel-Good News.Philando Castile was the unarmed man shot and killed by a cop in July 2016 after being pulled over supposedly for a broken tail light. He worked as a nutrition services supervisor at the J.J. Hill Montessori school in St. Paul, Minnesota and was known sometimes to help pay for student lunches with his own money.
So some folks started a fund to provide money to make sure students could pay for lunch. Their goal was to raise $5000, but by October 13 they had raised $72,000 - enough to entirely wipe out student lunch costs for the whole student body for the whole year.
Meanwhile, Unity Autoworks, located in a suburb of the Twin Cities, has announced that they "will be replacing tail light and license plate bulbs indefinitely for free" because "a defective bulb should never be a reason to be murdered."
Okay, it's not really a case of making lemonade out of lemons, but at least it's in the vicinity.
