I was actually on FR when I first saw what was happening.
I did not have a computer but had just purchased a WEB TV device and was hooked up to my television. At first I wasn’t sure what was going on.
If the TV hadn’t been on, I wouldn’t have known anything till I got to work.
I wish I had been a FReeper then.
I also was on FreeRepublic, at work in Corning, NY, sitting at my desk. Then all of us gravitated to TVs which were everywhere at the headquarters building of Corning Glass.
Some people were going to the restrooms to vomit.
