37. Sometimes People Just Snap

Sep 24

I wish everyone would wait a good 48 hours before anything substantial is released to the public. I can't think of a single recent tragedy that hasn't been reported "wrong" initially, and all the requisite nashing of teeth as the blame ball moves this direction and that which inevitably follows. It's, frankly, embarrassing and dehumanizing and we should be better than that.
