I am actually typing this post from Harborview Medical Center as I am on call tonight for the neurology service here. This afternoon the patients in the hospital began stumbling across this news story on their televisions and grew very upset.
This is the second mass shooting spree in Seattle this year, and I, for one, am appalled by it. Seattle is a city of tolerance – very much a “live and let live” sort of place. I find it frustrating that this has happened here.
My wife and youngest daughter are jewish so I always watch these type of stories. It was awful especially since I grew up in Seattle and never saw much of that stuff go on against jewish people. Just terrible.
