A grateful mayor sends a message
On his Facebook page, Walhalla Mayor Danny Edwards wrote: “Tonight I want to thank the Walhalla Police Department and the Oconee County Sheriff’s Department for keeping Walhalla safe during tonight’s protest. Excellent job! This could have turned into a violent situation. Please remember to pray for these folks as tomorrow could be difficult. I’m also asking for prayers for our leaders as we try to work for a solution to keep peace in our city. As some of you know, many of the protesters are not from Walhalla. Prayers please!”
