I was in high school at the time. ROTC class, when my Colonel came up to the class and announced what happened, turned on the tube and let us see what was going on... At the time I understood what happened, but at the same time it didnt affect me as much as it should... It seemed so surreal, and I was young, 14? probably 13? Till a friend of mine lost his grandparents there... Also seeing how many people vandalized, murdered, and harassed many foreign men, women, and even children in the United States. Prejudging and discriminating people that had nothing to do with these terrorist attacks. And many of those foreigners werent even Muslim, or Middle Eastern!

 

I know im off topic but you know whats crazy? 1 of the Indians (He wasnt Muslim, nor middle eastern) that was shot in the face by a shotgun from a Caucasian male at a gas station, forgave him. Wanted the judge to drop the charges against the Caucasian male. Obviously the judge denied it and sent the male to prison...

 

But the fact that he forgave him... Thats strong. Powerful right there.

My jaw was still hurting from a bad roll on Sunday, and I was dozing off in French(had no interest in it other than to pass the class at the time) when the kids started getting pulled. I was wondering why my mom didn't love me enough to pick me up for no reason like all the other parents were. My verbatim reaction when I finally saw what had happened was "Holy crap! They finally got us."

 

But then we got to sit around and flirt all day since there weren't enough students to bother teaching, and then I got to hear people talk about how they were going to single-handedly fuck the terrorists up for the next week.
