¡Basta Ya!

Alvaro, we are all madrileño. We stand united. ¡Basta Ya! Enough Already! ¡Basta Ya!

Eric's tribute.

The Seattle Times: In every major city and town, residents paused for a 10-minute observance of silence at noon; in Madrid, spontaneous shrines of candles, flowers and hand-written messages sprouted at train stations where men, women and children lost their lives. ..."Murderers! Murderers!" chanted a crowd both angry and somber. "We were all on that train."

I got the graphic from La Cárcel de Papel (The Paper Jail), and "¡Basta Ya!" was explained to me by my co-worker Carmen, who grew up in Madrid, and was hit hard by the attacks.
