I can't imagine the trauma, not only for the entire community, but especially for the children who are being traumatized at a young age and it no doubt will remain with them.

And, as you said, this terrible experience did bring neighbors helping neighbors, the only positive that came out of this terrible experience. What I will never understand is how there (as yet) no punishment for the massive examples of law breaking, intentionally injuring residents, damaging their cars, the trauma to families and actual cold blooded murder. Those who were responsible need to face trials and punishment, and the rest of their miserable lives behind bars. Yet those who murdered Alex Pretti, last I knew, have yet to be identified.

One of my good college friends came from St. Paul. I've thought of her this whole time and keep hoping she's okay. The weird thing was, while we were in college, people who didn't know us well, frequently mixed us up, the first and only time that's happened to me. And it didn't hurt that we not only must have looked alike, but we had the same first name.

Thanks so much for sharing what happened. And you do have good reason to be proud of your brave community. I wish both you and your neighbors a successful recovery, though I know that this experience will stay with you for a very long time.
