I don't see this getting easier nor do I see events like this, unfortunately, being the only incident. I think we'll see others for a while yet as the overall market still settles.

It is Linus. We learned to behave badly under the Reagan Administration and have not unlearned those bad behaviors. The 80's were the me-me-me generation and we haven't grown a bit since then. We're a country of spoiled petulant children. We don't care about a thing beyond ourselves. We're mean spirited, warring and selfish. It's embarrassing.

I would say (instead of 'we') that 'some of us' are spoiled petulant children. Otherwise I agree with what you say.

This IS an unfortunate new chapter. Have mixed feelings about it too.

Reminds me of opening my eyes to an ambulance chasing lawyer while in the hospital once due to a surgical complication. I threw-up on his shoes....

Honestly, if I was the wife of someone who was so carelessly murdered, I wouldn't have a whole lot of sympathy for anyone, really. And I would probably be on a mad vengeance to make sure my family came first (she just lost half of her family income for fuck's sake).

I don't think however that anyone, including myself, who is removed from the situation has a real right to have an opinion on anything Vernon Hunter's family does, except for Vernon Hunter's family. Same goes for Ms. Slack.

And let's please not jerk off to a media frenzy because the news is making yet more fodder out of the private lives of people.

It's not a soap opera for fuck's sake.

This is unfortunate all the way around. I'm curious to see how this is handled in the legal system.
