those of you who know me, and/or keep up with my blog, know that i rarely post or talk about 'human interest stories' or individual crime stories or things like that, because, well, i don't care much about humans... heh.

but actually from a philosophical standpoint, i always end up questioning the motives of the news stories themselves in these aspects, particularly noting and decrying the way criminal acts are highly publicized when they happen in the upper class white suburban neighborhoods (i.e. someone named laci, etc.) and completely ignored on a daily, hourly basis in lower income black urban neighborhoods.

with all that said, this story actually grabbed my attention and freaked me out. terrible, terrible, terrible.
