I know that in the City there are lots of professional people walking around. I'm familiar with Philadelphia and there are lots of medical people that work in the City at children's, cancer and general hospitals and always lots of cops.

I am sorry because lots of people were badly injured and the ones who lost their lives were young and had promising futures and were innocent. I wouldn't want any of that to happen to my family.
Don't forget that we "see" what we are prepared to see, especially when looking at anyone/thing that is "different" from ourselves/our perception of what looks/hobbies/beliefs really mean. The way to grow is to get to know some of these people you automatically disregard---you'll find yourself making exceptions for this one and that---eventually you know appearances are just that... superficial. Also, don't forget that anyone who works on you in a hospital in an emergency will be a stranger to you. They may be excellent, they may lack some skills, in general they will all be doing the best they can.
Thanks for this!
