Gallant is not a good enough word. There are no words good enough to describe the people of San Francisco/Oakland.
In South America and in Europe, stampedes and panic ensued at soccer games for as little reason as closed gates where people wanted to get through.
I hope that when Southern California’s time comes, as it surely will, that we will behave with the sanity, the valor, the courage, the loving compassion shown for others at personal risk to themselves, that our fellow Californians to the north displayed.
God love them all.
