I was jammed in a crowd near atocha station and an old woman collapsed next to me and cracked her head on the pavement, I had to pick her up and carry her through the crowd to a nearby bar, when we went in and everyone saw the blood they freaked out, but she was ok. It was more than a demo, it was the whole city out on the streets just saying 'enough, we don't want this'. Incredibly powerful. There was a huge politcal change afterwards but I won't get into that, needless to say foreign policy is very different now. I live just around the corner from where they made the first arrests of suspects, very muslim heavy neighbourhhood, lots of neighbours knew them, but to this day I haven't seen one single anti muslim incident related to the atocha bomb, which I reckon is pretty incredible, and inspiring.
