““The walking wounded, LAS victims, are grieving not one loss, but a lifestyle of ongoing losses. When the powerful move in to execute the kill, it is as if a giant monster reaches into the life of anyone of us and ruthlessly plucks a prized possession, a dream, an achievement, or anything of value in an insidious, ongoing, institutionalized assault. Legalized injustice attacks deep convictions that idealistically guide good people toward decent decisions. Disillusioned victims state that such losses annihilate the cherished beliefs that make up the essence of their beings – an amputation of their spirits.””
