Well prayerfully he will come to his right mind before thursday...

I'm still not seeing anything on the Internet about this. Something like this would surely be publicized, and not just to a select few.

Maybe it wasn't so or maybe he "came to himself"?

They are uniting to fight Violence......

It is really a good cause, and not exactly like it sounded at first........
