I wanted this to be a good story. Quasi- local small town boy, grieving parents...all that shit. Sure, I'd heard the maybe deserted thing, but figured it was probably closer to he accidentally wandered into bad news.

I wanted to give the President and his people kudos for a good thing....if for no other reason than to not rag on him just this once. To believe that he couldn't be that incompetent. He just can't be.

But the more I read, the more I hear...I can't fucking get there. The story we need, the story we deserve...fuck that. It's past time to look our society in the mirror. We're fucked up. Not right, not left. Just fucked up.

I got no answers. I got nothing. How the fuck did it come to this?
