According to the AP, Manning spoke one-on-one with “several” of the victims of Friday’s Batman shooting. I’m sure that there really was no PR motives on Manning’s part here, but it’s always nice to see a high profile player reaching out to the community he plays in, especially during tough times. It’ll take more than one celebrity calling up victims for the community of Aurora to begin to move on from such a horrific event, but individual acts of kindness such as these will go a long way towards helping those individuals involved move on from the incident.
