"Bad Things Happen"
By I cringe — like many of us — when I read that the shoe-thrower may have been beaten in prison. For p.r. if nothing else, guys! But another wrong does not make a right — or a desire in me to understand the root cause; forgive me. Bad things happen, all around. And, please, guys, be humane, even in the face of shameful acts. But the fact remains: A journalist committed an outrage and the media here should be outraged, not publishing odes to him.
Like, one bad thing is that I happen to wake up with a hangover. Another bad thing is that someone happens to wake up with three quarters of a million or so dead countrymen. Bad things happen, all around!
