Which means it was either just another day for her, or a day so traumatic she's blocked it out completely.<br /><br />@ Elizabeth - precisely. I am not sure I would be able to survive without that knowledge.<br /><br />@ Chary - yes, totally. Read a nice description of the mentality driving incidents like the Rodney King one - if I remember where, will let you know.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-24644589213221459542009-10-31T19:19:30.081+05:302009-10-31T19:19:30.081+05:30It is crazy how the "mob mentality" can ...It is crazy how the "mob mentality" can be so infectious. We see it over and over again: Rodney King beatings leading to the LA Riots, NYC blackout of 1977 and even in literature Shakespeare's [b]Julius Caesar[/b]. It is strange how even the most moral of individuals can be swept up into the frenzy.<br /><br />I am happy that you made it safely home. I think because my school was so close to home (one half block) that my parents didn't really worry as much since they could just walk over and pick me up in less than five minutes. However, for those whose schools were quite a distance, it is remarkable how their parents coped with emergency situations at all.<br /><br />Excellent post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994415353101258592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-32204016559854116832009-10-31T18:52:36.789+05:302009-10-31T18:52:36.789+05:30That must have been so frightening for all of you....That must have been so frightening for all of you. What a horrible day! And you're right..I frequently wonder how my mom was able to cope without a cell phone when I was a kid. I love the knowledge that my children's schools can get in touch with me anywhere at any time.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-77657891550569317762009-10-31T12:52:27.135+05:302009-10-31T12:52:27.135+05:30What a story!
