The triumph of good over evil

An article in the LA DailyNews describes the emotional pain that endures in survivors of an attack which had transpired a decade ago.
"AFTERMATH: Echoes of childhood horror sometimes come back to haunt survivors.
For much of the decade since a white supremacist shot five people at a Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills and murdered a Filipino-American letter carrier in Chatsworth, victims and their families thought they could triumph over evil by simply getting on with their lives.

Let's hope that good will ultimately prevail.
