The event is an example of a community not being apathetic towards the way the homeless and needy are treated within their community. Thomas was beaten to death near the bus stop in Downtown's transportation center. Several police officers are being investigated in relation to the beating.
Even through a situation that is so dark and tragic, a community has the chance to show their true colors in coming together and celebrating a man's life.
Protests and demonstrations have been heard every weekend as several citizens have taken a stance against the Fullerton Police.
What the community needs to focus on is the future and how we can help the homeless and special needs members of our community.
The concert and canned food drive today is a great start in letting Fullerton's enraged and passionate voice be heard around the world.
