    Of all men, this loving, humble man who sought only to help others, did not deserve to die, gunned down in cold blood, hugging his heavily pregnant wife close to his body in their final dying moments. If ever there was proof that there is no God, this was it.

      Or perhaps, his death was a blessing that spared him of the condemnation to be human. Instead, the rest of us were left to bicker amongst ourselves.

      Tragedy does not prove that there is no god.
      Tragedy only proves that there is no _good_ god - or at least, no god that is good, and able to help.
      It certainly proves that the christian idea of an omnipotent, benevolent god is not real.

      God didn’t gun down this guy, humans did.

    It is with a heavy heart that I come to look upon a visionary who had so much left to give. I am filled with dread and regret. My only solace is the hope more will walk in his footstep and see his journey through.

    Hard to fathom. An obviously lovely guy, helping the poorest of the poor, and loving what he does. Inspiring and senseless, all at once.

    the good always die too soon. I know i'll try to carry on his ideas. As an architect student, I found this very inspiring to the bore that is modernism.

      _"The good always die too soon."_
      That's kinda a tautology.
      The good should never die, any time at all is too soon.
      And since everyone dies at some point...

    I just hope there are people who worked with Mr Ross Langdon and who will continue his work the way he would have done it. That news made me sad and angry at the same time. I didn't know him but I can see his passion in every word he says in that speech. Must've been an extraordinary person. God bless him and Elif and their unborn child.

    Vale Ross Longdon, his partner Elif Yavuz, and their unborn child. Dedicated and passionate to the very end.

    Who infected Ross Langdon with such guilt that he said "Eucalyptus, an invasive Australian species somewhat like myself'?
    Africans were lucky to be helped by him.
    Meanwhile, under threat of force, American taxpayers have been taxed to give money to Africans.

    • @partydad-ir9sv

      because he technically feels that he is being invasive on someone else's land. He is just that courteous it seems. Love this guy

      He felt a responsibility to right the wrongs of his ancestors. He wasn't obligated to do so even from a moral point of view, as every man is born free of the shame of those born before. He was simply good spirited enough to not look away, or look into the future while ignoring the wrongs of the past. It's easy to ignore issues in the world, but it takes special character and a unique love for your fellow man to help those left in the shadows. There aren't enough people like him in history, and it's unfortunate that many humble men are reaped due to their lack of fear and belief of the natural good of all people.

    Sir all religions are disgusting and vile when used as an excuse to commit atrocities such as these, Majority of practising Muslims are peaceful and hold views very similar to any other major religion, there are extremists in any religion and spreading hate and discord due belief systems only breeds more extremists.
    Ross Langdons death is a tragedy, he was a good person with the right view on the world, don't tarnish his memory by spewing uneducated hate. ps Romans destroyed Egyptian culture
