I realize that was a big deal local story to you.

Been hearing about it every 2 hours or so for the past 2 weeks, and well, seems there are other stories that could get some coverage instead, something closer to me, or newer stories?

From way over here, it seems like it was a couple of nut cases that hurt a bunch of bystanders at a yearly event, and doesn't seem like there was any pattern or reason to think that would ever happen again, there was no targeting of certain types of people, just a random case of opportunity.

So, to me the backpacks just aren't a big deal because it won't be happening again?

So much other news, we have been hearing about that marathon and all for two weeks now every couple of hours.

Seems east coast is the home of any news; south east is the home of any weather; and west cost is the home of any entertainment.

The rest of the country doesn't count for anything, and never has any news, weather, or entertainment to ever hear about or discuss.....

As far as backpacks, well folks go to a athletic event for a few hours, you might want a drink, you might want a camera and a cam colder and a few batteries and lenses, you might want a jacket a windbreaker an umbrella. Maybe you stopped at a shop or two and got a few trinkets made in China to remember the day.

Where are you supposed to put that stuff?

Seems that is what they make backpacks for? Yea it is dumb to leave one unattended that is for sure.

This probably isn't the reply you expected, and don't mean to step on any toes. That was a big deal a year ago, and I feel bad for the families affected by it.

In the past 30 days we've had 4 teenagers wiped out in a car crash, 3 killed in another crash, one killed, one killed, two killed, and a relative of mine killed and hubby and 2 kids hurt in car crashes all within 50 miles of me. Not common to have so many deaths, and most all under 50 or teenagers, on the roads around here. The car of teenagers was from a town of 3000 people, everyone knew some or all of those kids.

To me that is a lot more meaningful, close, important story of today, than what happened back then over on the east coast.

And so, the news is what it is, not really new.

Again, feel bad for the families in your area affected by last years tradgety, I don't mean to make light of it, tho is seems such an isolated case it won't ever be repeated there again.
