I know I am reserving sympathy until we hear full details when they inevitably are divulged. I lost a friend but I don't know what happened and who am I to sit at my desk and pass judgment on anyone? That's what the legal system is for, as broken as it is. We already know he killed them, why harp on about it? People have every right to feel how they want to feel, but I hope they understand that no one actually gives a #### how you feel. This is a sea of worthless opinions but we all want to express how we feel deep down about the tragedy. How you feel does not affect the outcome. It is honestly amazing how much bickering and squabbling there is when in truth, we all believe in the universal reality that this was a horrible, horrible event in our amazing city.
In other news, since I'm up at 5 AM, I wrote a angry letterto the reporter who contacted me twice yesterday (Kelly Cryderman of Globe & Mail):
"I think it was extremely inappropriate to mention to me on your 2nd call that you had a "deadline". The truth is people that are grieving really don't care about your deadlines and it was a comment that lacked compassion and consideration and I was taken aback by it. Most of us had only learned at 9pm the night prior what had happened. I certainly hope such a terrible tragedy never occurs again, but if it does, and you need to report on it, I think these are some things to consider. I am a very reasonable person but the deadline comment just irked me and I needed you to know how unprofessional it was."
I still feel I took the high road on it.
