"We're all trying to find the guy who did this"
Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty
the one point that kept coming up, across both groups, was a desire to find person responsible for attack. That person/people, the fg participants said, needed to be held accountable, and they weren't sure they had been.

Kroger's profit margin is 1.52%
