Death by knife [View all]

apparently is not worthy of comment.

To illustrate:

I have been watching trends for the last six months or so. I have even posted stories that would test my theory.

It seems a child whose death is due to pit bulls, hot cars and especially gunz!!!! is horrible and cause for grief and lament.

Death by other means= shit happens.

To my mind, the violence or negligence is the disease. The method is a symptom and far less important; treating it will help but not cure the disease.


Oh and if anyone cares about a dead child here is an update
