Need a bulb?

Indianapolis Colts, Meijer partner to give free blue light bulbs in honor of fallen IMPD officer | Fox 59 News ? fox59.com

Excellent! My wife is going by there this afternoon to pick one up for us. We were at the Meijer and Menards in Avon yesterday and both were sold out!

Help Stop The Violence in Indy


Friend of mine posted on Facebook. 100% of proceeds go to Indianapolis FOP to assist the families of those officers killed or injured in the line of duty.

Dropping my last four bulbs off at Beech Grove Firearms later this morning. Free to anyone that can get there today.

I have been trying to keep up on this thread and FB. I have not seen a definitive answer to my question. When are we supposed to take down the blue lights and change avatars? I ask because I would like to offer something to think about.

As a Society why do we only show support after tragedy strikes? I have seen it with 9/11 and other times when tragedy hits close to home. I believe our Military and First Responders deserve our appreciation and support every day. I know after a short amount of time the gestures become ignored. What about setting aside a few days every week or a few days every month and continue to show support? Or keep the State painted blue ( and red and white) until it is safe for our people to walk down the street? ( wishful thinking I know)

BTW I am proud to be a member of the forum where this seems to have began. Great job!

I agree. There's no reason to take these blue lights down. These men and women deserve our support and show of unity all the time, not only in times of grief.

Anyone have a good spot in mind to line the route? Somewhere where parking wouldn't be an issue?

I knew when I first put my blue Christmas lights up (before Chezuki got me a bulb) that mine would be staying up till it burns out. This is not only a message of support to our public servants but it is a declaration to the criminals in our city that we have come together as one to end the violence.

I was wondering the same thing.

I have to be on my way to work by 3:45, you think its safe to think they'll be by that position before then?

2 Meijer Locations in Indianapolis are giving out free lightbulbs while supplies last. Pike Plaza Meijer and Southport Rd. Meijer.

Surprisingly only a small crowd gathered outside IMPD north district.
