Or perhaps y’all both are ignorant. Regardless of what they were doing lives were lost, have some respect for the families because had of been someone in yours…… you would be sick right now
Bossy2 says
Right on bossy! My family had to go through a broadcasted death and what the news was releasing was not the actual story. They do this to protect the case. It hurts seeing all these people talking and not knowing anything. Be respectful, someone lost their life!
