I was in Junior High at the time and my history teacher turned on the radio after another faculty member came in and a hushed conversation with her. Of course, me being a young teen, I took the opportunity to draw in my notebook and tuned out the radio. I had no connection to New York and didn't even know what the WTC was, so I figured it was just something that happened in another country. It wasn't until I got home and started watching the news that I fully grasped what happened. The hatred in the aftermath of the attack is what I mostly remember. People that I had considered level-headed and intelligent became the complete opposite. My Uncle once told me while we were fishing that he hated Muslims and he wishes he could be the one with his finger on the button that would launch nukes. We only had one Muslim family in our podunk whitebread town and they got their windows smashed regularly. The good-ol-boy, redneck town militia put them "under watch for terrorist activity" and would stand on the family's lawn, staring at the front of their house for hours with their weapons clearly visible. They moved away really quickly after that started. Chip McFuck fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Oct 12, 2015 |
