I have been letting some things bother me, I guess I need to let it all out.
And then I won't watch the morning news again.. good thing I don't pay too much attention to national news.
Who would run over their own child with their SUV? A father in Peoria Az. I guess.
He didn't like how westernized she had become. HELLO! You are the one that brought her here from Iraq. how do you like that American jail?? OH I forgot they haven't found him yet..
How about The police using a Taser on a 19 year old and watching him die.. Whats that about? For the first time, Scottsdale-based Taser International is warning law-enforcement agencies about the use of the stun gun, saying shots aimed at the chest COULD spark an "adverse cardiac event." I guess their tired of people dying?
A light rail train hit a car with two elderly people inside at 34th and Washington streets He was making a turn , causing the car to spin around once.
He didn't clear the track while waiting to turn..come on he was 95 years he couldn't see the track.. 95 yeas old for heavens sake.. only in Arizona!!
A judge refused to let a young mother leave the state with her 2 year old baby. She was afraid for her life. She told him just that. She wanted a Order of protection against her X boyfriend father of the boy. The judge gave the father visitation. 2 weeks later the mother and her mother and the boyfriend were dead. he didn't kill his son.
OK I have only 1 more that really bugs me today..
PEOPLE why can't you see a mother pushing that stroller.. 2 times in the past month cars exiting school parking lots have hit strollers with mothers pushing them. The first incident the baby died.. With better results the second time, minor injury's just lucky for the driver I guess.
Did I say I am going to Watch Barney in the morning?
I think I am!

Some car whizzing by the other day almost hit Matthew and I in a crosswalk. Come on! Did they not see the hugeness? And I wasn't wearing Thomas's uniform so I know I didn't blend in with anything. I was wearing a bright purple shirt! I can't believe how little people pay attention. I wonder how many people are charged with vehicular manslaugher these days.

I can add one more to your list of crazy happenings - today they reported on our news that about 2 miles from us this afternoon, a woman hit a boy on his bike and she left the scene. So now they are looking for a 40-45 year old woman, driving a white vehicle, etc....Incredible!
Sometimes turning on the news can be so depressing. I would go for Barney!

Such tragic stories and so many of them. Honestly, I think it's just going to get worse and worse. Barney it is!

Since we dont have television anymore it also means I don't get the news. The first week I was so sad but honestly more than a year later I dont miss it too much. Sure I have to hear major news stories on facebook like when celebraties die but I'll take that over the horrible other things I'd hear.

OR my two favorites,
a scuzbag hitting a teacher... and running.
and A girl kissing her boyfriend while driving and hit us good LDS kids on our way to school.

I so agree with all your observations. It is so crazy here in the Valley! From one side of town to the other, the oddest things happen, are tolerated, and go unscathed in the public eye. More people like you need to be heard! Hang in there...many of us Arizonans are feeling just like you are!

This is exactly why I don't watch the news anymore. Just reading your post made my blood start to boil! I am not sure I am quite ready for Barney though. Perhaps just some peace and quiet. :-)

"No news is good news" is a good phrase & one I practice. I refuse to watch the TV news & really only pay attention when its placed right in front of me.
Not because I want to be ignorant but I just couldn't take the stories of abuse & murder anymore. Same goes for the stories of stupidity, selfishness & atrocity.
Don't worry I also avoid the sensational crap too!

Amen, sister. Only down here we hear about all of the drug busts. Then one of my son's scout friend's dad tells us about all of the drug runners they let go because none of the towns want to prosecute since it costs more to prosecute than it does for the actual drugs. Wth is that all about?
*I love you, you love me, we're a happy fam -i - ly...* Barney & me groove.

I love you....you love me....we are a happy family......
Yep, sometimes the news is just too depressing/maddening.....

So much constant bad going on. It really is distressing.
