Depressing news

My aunt's friend's son was killed during a robbery earlier today. As you can imagine the whole community is in shock. It's bad enough when you hear about something like this in the abstract; it's even more distressing when you know someone involved, even if indirectly...

That is horrible for everyone who knew him. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, apparently he was in my cousin's class, so she was going back home for the funeral... very sad.

Definitely scary.

It reminds me of how I did a double take when someone was murdered in a downtown Cincinnati parking lot that I used to park in all of the time when I played in an open mic. You might know something isn't quite safe but until it touches you....

I'm really sorry for your aunt's friend's family.

Yeah, somehow you never expect these things to happen to "real people"... very scary.

They're only tangentially involved, but thanks.
