No time for petulance. This is hardest for the home it hit. Nobody is exaggerating. They are simply telling the gravity of a bad situation as they process it.
This event was not expected and lives were lost. Have some latitude for loved ones being in this area.
Sorry...but I have a hard time understanding anyone making light of death...and tragedy. I especially have a hard time with it occurring on THIS forum...which I have been a member of since 1998.
Free Republic is supposed to represent the BEST of what America is...and for some reason lately, anytime there is a thread about a disaster or tragedy...or death...there is some yahoo on that thinks it's his time on stage at The Improve.
That bothers me. FR is better than this.
