1. SOCHI OLYMPICS
Let the Games begin: Hear ye, sports junkies! The gods of Olympia have parted the black clouds of terror woes over Sochi! Pierced them with the splendid light of nimble athletic striving! Today, they send out figure skaters to carve serpentine streaks onto pristine ice. And tomorrow the opening ceremonies burst forth to bedazzle the globe. And let’s face it: It’s safe enough to go to Sochi – says Mitt Romney. He’d go, but he can’t. Sorry, no time.
2. LOUD MUSIC KILLING
Death and pizza: Michael Dunn told cops he had a spat over loud music, opened fire, drove off and then ordered pizza. That was a year and three months ago; today, he’s on trial for killing Jordan Davis. Jordan and three other African-American teens were in the car, when Dunn allegedly put eight bullets into it. The teens were unarmed. Although this is Florida, he won’t be using the Stand Your Ground defense
3. MILITARY SUICIDE
Invisible, no more: It’s not just the soldiers. Military family members kill themselves, too. The Pentagon keeps track of soldier suicides, and now, it may start counting family members who resort to it, too, in hopes of learning something that will help stop them. It’s tough losing a son or daughter to war. Scott Warner couldn’t stand it, so he swallowed a handful of pill with vodka. Luckily he lived, and maybe his story will help others.
