I think that sometimes, the media dwell on images of destruction just to keep the people fired up in outrage against the perpetrators, but what they don't seem to realise is that these same images fire up the groups that initiate these things with glee and pride in what they have 'achieved..'
I wish they would show more stuff about people getting on with their lives, being unaffected too much by all this because that is the TRUE picture, but I guess the media thinks that's boring, ay?? :0(

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
- Location: New York

I watch FOX news and this morning they gave a good report on the Party in the heart of London and it was all the folks who could not get home due to tube closing. They said it was to show the bombers they did not get you...
We are starting random searchs on our subways here in NY today... Comish Kelly said the Mayor of London has shared so much information with NY... we have 6 million riders and a huge system....
Glad to see the party covered... in fact the coverage was positive not about negative.
