Vigil for Laura Ling and Euna Lee in Sacramento

3Folders Lesley, Angela and Alicia attended the vigil supporting the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee from North Korea. The vigil was held on July 9, 2009 on the west steps of the California State Capitol in Sacramento, CA. This video is our perspective on the moving event. We hold nothing but respect for brave journalists willing to risk their lives to tell the important stories, and we send our hopes and prayers to the Ling and Lee families.

Just to clarify, in case some have not read or paid attention to the entire story, these journalists were covering a story about human trafficking across the North Korean and China borders. I'd love to hear from anyone who thinks human trafficking isn't considered evil. This story doesn't have to be political. If you watch the video again, you'll notice that we've never brought up anything about George Bush, Obama, or politics.

Yes, we are supposed to feel sorry for them because they were doing what so many are too afraid of: speaking up for the persecuted, the hurting, and the abandoned. Evil is only conquered when good people stand up and do something about it.

i kinda understand N korea not wanting journalists breaking the law and illegally crossing border to do a story against N Korea

These two selfish women trying to destabilize North Korea. They are part of an effort at regime change effort. Haven't we grown beyond that after Iraq? North Korea is a very delicate place now, it would have been best to let them change on their as China and Russia did. This kind of reporting has damaged the movement of NK to a more normal society.

These two selfish people were only concerned about making a name for themselves.

The Iraq war was supposedly fought to stop evil. The Vietnam war was fought to stop evil.

I am tired to people claiming this group or that group is evil. People who talk this way have blood on their hands. Please stop the hate talk about evil

Why have they not been released yet? This proves how impotent Obama has quickly become. Just another do nothing administration.

Well the maybe 12 years in a North Korean jail is good then. They can serve as Martyrs for the cause.

We all must remember that George Bush thought he was doing good fighting "Evil" in Iraq. We have to be careful of people who call for a jihad or a crusade to fight "Evil"

I think they were trying to create conflict between Korea, China, and the US. In such conflicts many people die. This is evil. They only wanted fame and they did not care who might get hurt

Lisa Ling snuck into north Korea a few years ago to do a smear job on North Korea. She is product of wha she did.

Apparently Lisa talked her little sister and Euna into doing ths same stunt. Now we are suppose to feel sorry for them.
