We Got This!

"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

Father’s Day: It’s Not Fair!

June 20, 2016 by Ryan's Rally LLC 20 Comments

Yesterday was Father’s Day. I was acutely aware of it the instant I decided to get Ryan out of bed in the morning. For me, I did everything as normal… except for one thing. I turned off my smartphone, closed my computer, and set the television remote control aside. My reason was simple, but I was […]

Does Everyone “Deserve” a Second Chance?

March 22, 2016 by Ryan's Rally LLC 20 Comments

I’ve never been a fan of clichés. To me, they seem to be a substitute for thinking. A way to avoid articulation. That’s not to say I don’t — from time-to-time — use them. I admit, there are times when I’m just too damned lazy and take the “easy way out”, to use a cliché. […]

I’m Strong… Now Excuse Me As I Cry

February 26, 2016 by Ryan's Rally LLC 45 Comments

Since Ryan was so brutally attacked, many people have told me, “Ken Diviney, you are the strongest person I’ve ever met.” My response to this was always the same, “Oftentimes, fear looks like strength”. I’m here to tell you, this I believe firmly. In my case, I cope with fear through logic and rationalization. I […]

Say It Ain’t So! Austin Vantrease: Baby Daddy?

January 26, 2016 by Ryan's Rally LLC 87 Comments

It seems Austin Vantrease (the monster that so brutally harmed my son) is now a father. At least that’s what registered in public records and social media. Oh, I have so much to say about this! I’ll get to that at a later time, simply because I need time to gather my thoughts… and where […]

Societal Segregation of the Brain Injured & Family

November 4, 2015 by Ryan's Rally LLC 19 Comments

With Ryan’s attack anniversary coming up this weekend (November 7), I battle with sadness and anger at a higher intensity. Hell, often at the same time. For me, I cope and respond better with anger. Hence, the theme of today’s post: Pissed-Off. “Justice delayed is… justice denied”. True, yes, in some regards. It’s a catchy […]
