Slog - Comments on From the Stranger Forums http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/03/from_the_strang therain writes in Stranger Forums... I went by the scene of the shooting this morning and talked to a couple of the young people gathered there. They were furious at the radio talkshow people who apparently have been blaming the victims and the whole rave scene for this atrocity. I just said that nothing I read in the mainstream media (including the Stranger, Weekly, Times, PI, KOMO, KING5, CBS etc) suggested there was anything about their community, the dance at CHAC or the party, that could explain this evil act. The kids were very appreciative of every gesture of kindness...

Get some counseling, talk to people, talk to each other, keep busy, keep engaged. Don't pretend it's not happening but don't hypnotize yourself either.

I just returned from the vigil where I delivered 20 warm dick's burgers and met some of the kids and got a hug from one of them wearing a SUSHI visor.

They were grieving, and celebrating the lives of their friends, telling stories, dancing, and shivering. I met Joker who told me a funny story about Deacon that I don't feel is my place to relate.

These are great, sweet kids.
I didn't listen to Dori, but I know he can be a real bitch sometimes.
