no, I mean, home to Boston.
I'm sorry. If there is anything I can do from here, let me know.
Will the charges stick, do you think?
I hope not.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Jeez, Allyson.
Even if the charges do stick, it's very unlikely he'll get more than a token slap on the wrist. Public opinion is so far on his side, and for excellent reason. I'm so sorry.
Meanwhile, you take care of yourself. If you need to work to help keep occupied, then stay and work. If you can't, go home and call your family.
I'm so sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I know I would have done the same thing. I would have hurt that man. Badly.
I just want to go help my brother, but I don't know how.
God DAMN, Allyson.
....and I think I love your brother. I would have done nothing different.

Oh Allyson, that's terrible. I totally understand that rage.

Kat, what did the school police say when you reported the thug-kids?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, Allyson. Wow.
God, I feel for your brother. I would have done some damage myself. I hope everything turns out fine. I think most people will be pretty empathetic to this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that would be my guess -- but really just a guess.

Oh my god Allyson! I am so sorry. I have no words.

If it had been a case where someone was assaulting your brother directly, and he punched them, wouldn't that be self-defense? What about when you're defending your 4-year-old kid, who clearly isn't physically big or strong enough to defend himself against an adult?
....I guess I think in terms of what's fair, not what's necessarily legal.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh shit, Allyson. I'm sorry. Yeah, I am not the type to hit another person, but I can totally understand your brother's response. I think most people can.
And boy do I get your own reaction--I'd want to be with my family too at a time like this. But perhaps wait to see what they need, and to see what you can best do for them.
