>We spent 16 years going on family vacations to that area. One of the things that makes me the saddest is that now those good times are gone forever. I could never go back.
> BrianBrian, could you separate the town, and your good memories of it, from the psychiatric ER where this happened? I know it was traumatic for you, and I can certainly both sympathize and empathize with you, and I even feel a lot of anger and frustration at even the idea that this sort of thing goes on. What happened to you there was WRONG.
But that's only one event, out of sixteen years, one building, out of how many there? Couldn't you salvage the town itself from the behavior of those few people?
Again, I'm very sorry that you went through this, and my comments in no way indicate that I don't believe you.
Peace.
(By the way, you mentioned being black, are you also large? Tall, muscular, etc? It's wrong, and I still see it happen -- LARGE black men are frightening to a lot of people. Sometimes including other large black men... Again, I'm sorry you went through this, no matter what variables went into it.)
