Sad, Depressing News Day
I’m not giving in to those who believe that “all news is bad news,” but there are some days when there are just a lot of really sad stories in the news. There are two stories like that in today’s StarTribune:
Eagan man dies after being struck by baseball. The dad was just pitching to his son’s little league team. Someone hit the ball a little too hard, hit dad in the head, he died later at St. Paul’s Regions Hospital.
Man sentenced to 3 years for slaying of Petters’ son in Italy. The 21-year-old son of a Minnesota executive was vacationing in Florence and was the victim of mistaken identity and a language barrier.
