If anything FishTheKitty, the fact that LA was taken out without much of a warning should be taken as a compliment.  It was no secret that the city was becoming more powerful and it was united.  Giving the inhabitants a head start on things carelessly with a warning may have allowed the city to do more damage than it's residents did in the takedown.

The city received a proper removal as do most independent cities in a power play; this is the way it always has been and the way it always will be.

The time for moving forward in a new life is upon all grieving children from the City of Angels, may they find new happiness in their new lives and realize the truth that nothing is never lost, only new experiences are gained.

I couldn't agree with you more, HungryHungryHippos

The fact that nothing was said about any of their non-existent "wrong-doings" means the inhabitants must have done something right. That is something I know my grandmother would have been proud of. Being in a city where it not only felt like people were getting closer and more united, but also where people could see it from the outside. That is when you know you have accomplished something big. 

I hope the kins from the fallen ones of LA will look back at this and be proud of their ancestors - just like I am. May they all rest in peace.
