Kinda sad
The trial was today of a boy from my District, who stabbed and killed one of his friends after a party in the summer. It's truly a horrible story and I'm not going into it, but his sentence was 12 years before it can be reviewed. Obviously everything about this is extremely sad, but what most shocked me were the comments on the online version of the local paper. I can't say more than that I was shocked, and whilst I understand the depth of emotion...well, anything I write doesn't explain what I want to say about such a complex situation. If you believe that prayer works, or even believe it might work, please pray for the family, friends and everyone involved with Michael (the boy who died), and Kieran (the boy who killed him). He showed 'no emotion' in court, and has never said what his motive was to kill one of his friends.

Strokey knees. I hope your shock is...umm...diminished?

I assume you're talking about the same local paper that is local to me. The comments section on it has become a home for people who think it's funny to flame and claim to be who they are not on the grounds that they think it's funny. It's stopped becoming a place where people can sensibly discuss stuff. I stopped using it a while ago.
