RE: Some local reporters will have stories about ‘First Baby Born This Year!’
Lately the first stories are “Unprovoked slashing by offender just released from jail by judge results in death of 25 year old mother in front of her two tots.”
Or like one incident in Anthony Robbins’ book Awaken the Giant: Two cons liked prison life and as soon as they were released they confronted the first person they saw, a man filling his car gas tank, and murdered him. They liked the security and routine of being taken care of in prison and were determined to go back there.
Unfortunately, your scenario is the most likely to be seen at “top of the fold”. I swear, there are times when it seems the random homicides are happening on some kind of schedule.
