From the reports I read on this board, no one is in the midst of this. So y'all meet in London, and you used to live there? By that measure I was in Hurricane Katrina by proxy, because my cousin died in NOLA a few years earlier.

From what I can tell there is not one poster personally traumatized by this. Let's see - I endured homelessness for nearly a year, assault, stalking for over a year, breaking & entering, sexual harassment, property loss & damage, and long lasting PTSD, and more I cannot discuss, because of the cult. I am disabled, and do not have the means to restore what I lost, and no one gives a damn in this state, because I am an "apostate", disabled, female, and I am sure I could think of other reasons why I am downgraded from full human being status here in Utah. So tell me again, how you are traumatized by this, and what has it to do with recovery? It is just one more sensational topic that has nothing to do with real morg induced trauma.
I do not have empathy for people who make racist comments, and am shocked at the statements made by some British posters here, but maybe should not be, after all, maybe that was one of the selling points of TSCC for you. I have empathy for all the people in your country who do not have the privilege of being white, and British, who will be lumped together as guilty by association with the rioters, because of their skin color or class. I empathize with the people in your country who have to live with the insufferable attitudes of class condescension, and who have it frustrate their hopes, and dreams. I find it disturbing that some posters want to make it ALL about criminality. You take away the legitimate concerns of people who have suffered. It is kind of like TSCC saying everyone who leaves wants to sin or was offended. You dehumanize people that way. People do not riot on a whim.

Admin is in charge of what stays or goes, but I have a right to voice my opinion. Lately we have drastically cut down on the OT posts, and there have been more than a few OT posts on the riots.

Glad to hear you are not one of us weaklings! You should ghost write an Horatio Alger story. I don't hide much of my suffering, but I have also learned not to seek support on this board any more. A lot of people here have health problems, and I do too, but why do you feel the need to mention this, yet brag about how invincible you are? And on a board for recovery of all places?

Am I supposed to thank you for your condescension? Maybe you should seek counseling for your riot anxiety?

All those things I mentioned were in addition to stealing my tithing, and life. They took at least a fifth of my disability income, yet denied me food assistance, and did not tell me there was no need to pay, because my SS was really not increase. THEY WANTED MY MONEY THAT BAD. Some here have suffered worse. So you suffered, but what does this have to do with riots?
