I'm relieved that it's over, though, due to safety concerns. Nobody was getting searched at all entering the stadium, and it only takes one rogue to wreck havoc.

Or maybe there was security in place that we weren't told about.

Regardless, I'm glad so many leaders went, and I'll wish them all safe trips home. You must understand, I was at a tender but very aware age when we lost JFK and Bobby, and MLK. That's the double-edged sword of emotional attachments - if you love somebody who's targeted for violence, it's hard not to worry a lot.
