Gunman takes hostages in Sydney

[eddie]

Oberon, what has happened in Sydney is a painful reminder for Americans as to what happened on 9/11, the shootings at Fort Hood, Sandy Hook, and the mass shootings at the theater in Denver. Its not another day at the office for us, its a painful reminder of what has happened here, especially for those who were directly affected by these senseless acts. I bet when the news got to the UK as to what happened down under, those who lost loved ones in the subway bombing in London suffered from painful memories also. How anyone could not be moved by these acts, must be numb, we sure aren't over here. We will help and stand by our friends in Australia just like we would for our friends in the UK. When something like this happens in OZ, like you said it is shocking, but its painful for us too!
