The news around here about the Crosby plant was that it exploded.

I'm jealous you've got pretty news reporters, the ones here look like potatoes in dress clothes.

It didn't burn down. It just burnt up a few trailers of product because.

You are probably right. We've had a fire since then. Made the news and they did a horrible job of covering it. Big fire! It's called a flare. Designed to do that. Duh! News reporters are pretty to look at, but don't do a lot of research. Like that Jeffery guy that Chickassan likes.

We do murders gangsta style. Seriously. Usually murders are confined to the "inner city" (the really sad ones are the drive bys that hit the kids)...so when the one in which a police officer was killed happened here in Newark and then ended in stand off south of here in Middletown (beginning of farm area)...things got real.

Murdas, Drive bys...shoot even running people over while walking to school is normal daily news here.

Crime and killings ARE our daily news.

Yep. Fire, explosions, big lights and whatever captures the imagination. HEADLINES!

When the ground flares work, the news cameras all come out. Nope, no emergency. Just designed like that. It is the visual stimulation that they crave. Psychology. Very interesting study. Catering to the masses. Since you wanted to study that, do you find yourself looking for connections and explanations? Yes, I people watch also.

That is a VERY sad story. Prayers for both families.

I object to that. Misery is not entertainment. Horror is not entertainment. This is not suitable for mixed company.

People watching - amateur psychology. Ain't science grand?

The last time there was a murder near here, it made front page of every single newspaper within I don't know how far and stayed there for over a week.
