2 blocks from my office sits the American Cvic Association. it runs on a shoe string budget/ a United Way Agency, and remains as one of the main reasons that we are the greatest Democracy on the planet. We evacuated after the bomb squad arrived Friday at noon. Just got back from my neighbors funeral(Roberta King). She was teaching English as a 2nd language and was killed in cold blood because a wacked out prick was laughed at in class. She leaves behind 10 children 17 grand children and my 2 nieces that ate her cookies and played in her doll houses. We are all mad and sad.

My heart goes out to you nick.

There are times when very bad things happen to very good people.
It isn't fair.
It isn't right, but it happens and we all suffer for the loss.

Sorry to hear of your personal connection to the senseless tragedy.

I'm sure it's difficult for all those involved.

Sorry to hear that were up close and personal in this. Truly sad but we're here for you. It's a crazy world we live in. My prayers went out to all the families as soon as it broke on the news and now for you especially. Don't be a stranger in these parts. We miss you.

How did this guy become a citizen, if he can't speak english. I was looking at a newspaper article that mentioned that he had been in the US since the early 1990's and had become a citizen.

Requirements to become an American citizen:

In order to be naturalized as a U.S. citizen, you must first find out if you meet the required conditions set out by the Immigration and Naturalization Act. To be eligible, the Act requires that you be at least 18 years old and a lawful permanent resident or green card holder without any pending or outstanding deportation order. You must also have resided continuously in the United States for at least five years immediately preceding the date you choose to file your application for naturalization. The residency requirement is reduced to three years if you

I am sorry to hear of your loss. There seems to be more and more of these senseless tragedies occuring all the time. Why dont these people simply take their own lives instead of taking the lives of innocent people not to mention the disruption of the lives of the perople who knew and loved these individuals. I just read of another case where a man killed his 5 children just because his wife was seeing another man.
