And the tendency for some of the young to get into this nasty kind of behavior shows our dark side. It was some justice that the leader of the group who attacked Gran suffered for it. I like to think she survived as well.

We dismiss anything that doesn't fit our preconceived notions, never once thinking of the ramifications - the actual impact on lives. <br /><br />This was sad and powerful and all too relatable. Masterfully done. Btw, I learned the US use of 'holler' as well.
