I am glad to see that.

The survivors/victims of this terrible crime as well as their family and extended family members as well as friends may need mental health support for decades because of the evil deeds of one man.

Some will probably never heal completely.

Perhaps it also can be imagined. There are many insecure people in this world who blame their life circumstances and lack of success on something else other than their own shortcomings. They cannot prove anything so it is OVERT and HIDDEN. But perhaps it just not exist. When confronted, the name calling starts.

Tell me about it. I happen to be in the most persecuted group in recent history; white heterosexual male. And old to boot. I can hardly walk down the street without being profiled as a racist, bigoted, homophobic, grumpy old man. Oh well, that's life. Nobody said it was fair. I will wear my victimhood with pride, and will stand tall in the face of attacks, however subtle they my be. I will wear down my assailants by turning the other cheek until they finally give up.

Do any of you know what's going on? CAIR has been linked to several anti american groups and even linked to funding/supporting terrorists organizations. How can so many seniors be so naive and clueless.

But to be ambushed and accused, totally out of the blue, you will understand if I only hug some people right?

Typically I respect my elders, even if they
go off on personal attacks. Just smile & walk away.

You make a very good point.

I agree with you completely except about wearing them down by turning the other cheek, which is construed as weakness by these insecure folks.
