Senseless violence
Seems since a gun was not involved, there is no mention in this forum. A car makes a pretty effective weapon. My prayers go out to the victims and their families.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Re: Senseless violence
I saw it on the news yesterday. I think the reason it was not discussed here, and certainly why I did not raise it, is that I can think of nothing to be done about it. There are comments that the driver was drunk, but also denials. Everyone knows the dangers of drunk drivers. Short of making cars illegal, most of us talk about guns because we want them to be regulated to the same degree that we regulate cars. If there is a constructive point of discussion regarding this tragedy, perhaps someone will raise the issue rather than simply offering tangential complaints about those who think that guns are a problem in this country."Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world." - Bono

Now, do we really need a thread on every tragedy? Is this controversial? Are some going to say she should have run into the crowd and others that she shouldn't have? I don't think so. So what, exactly, is the point of the thread?On the trailing edge of technology.
