"Someone on another thread said this was all rumor mongering and totally unsubstantiated. I guess this is proof of the horror we heard from those inside the convention center."

This is a UP story that is reporting on a Times Picune story. It has about the same reliability as any other third party report. About the same as a rumor, not much. It says "at least 40 mutilated bodies". Who knows what was reported in the Times Picune, "perhaps 40 bodies"?

I am not saying it isn't true, it could be, but details are sketchy, which is always a warning sign, as is the fact that they got the story third hand. You are welcome to believe it if you like but I was taught not to believe everything I read. Just because it appears in print doesn't mean it's true. Some of us will remain skeptical until further details emerge.

One of my children in Dallas has moved out of his apartment, put a fresh coat of paint and gave it thorough cleaning, to allow a family to move in and posted it on the list. The apartment requires the family to fill out their names and previous address along with an emergency contact. No credit application... they just want to know who is in their apartment building.

The first people that called via a sister was very happy to have it until they found out they had to give information. They turned it down. He explained that it wasn't a credit app... they just want to know who they are. The woman hung up.

I'm very proud of him, but I admit to being a bit nervous about it and feeling guilty for being nervous.
