i was a deputy sheriff in florida. i am no longer there, but read several florida news outlets daily for cases i am following and to keep up with what used to be my local news. and local jailbirds.
so every day without fail there are at least 3 drug-related murders in one area. EVERY DAY. and they get no attention beyond the next day's news of the next night's murders. it's a big yawnfest. it's like the weather report. in florida, it's the same every day...hot as hell, and druggie murders. anything new? hurricane coming?
in my forum here, and when i have been elsewhere, i have covered much worse cases. if there is a way to compare. horrible is horrible. but i tend to focus on childrens' cases a great deal.
or, like this one, the truly bizarre and out of the ordinary for someone who may be jaded (me).
this has captured the imagination for certain. but if they had been shot, we wouldn't still be talking about it at this point in time.
that was just an unsolicited opinion.
Very true. It's the way they were killed and imagining how much terror they would have felt.
