Like Casey, I wondered if they'd gone mad, knowing there would not be a good outcome to the march. To be honest, I was surprised Casey didn't go along with them to protect Pamela (because I'm sure she would have laughed in his face if he'd told her she couldn't go). I know people treat each other with such brutality every day somewhere in the world, but I still cannot fathom how you can look someone in the face and then hurt them as badly as those people were hurt without any physical danger to yourself. This type of face-to-face violence is, to me, much harder to comprehend than the anonymous blowing up of a building (not that that's acceptable either). I know that I would not be brave enough to put myself in the situation Pat, Pamela and the other marchers did. -- Cindy's Cottage

Sorry I'm late! I think the sight of Sylvie was such a wonderful moment in this chapter. She comes like an angel, fair and freckled, to help Pat and Pamela. I think Carla said it best about the setting and the march. It's amazing the hatred that was dealt there that day. And the complicity of the police was disgusting but shows you where the power and control was. (NT) -- Lil, 22:18:54 07/08/09 Wed

I loved when Sylvie arrived too Lil. Her little sister is just adorable and asking Pat if he would marry her Sylvie. (NT) -- Tracy, 06:52:17 07/09/09 Thu
