How tragic...
I decided to turn on the local news to see what was going on in the city. I very rarely watch the local news anymore.
I was stunned at what I saw. It was nothing but one death after another based on variou incidences, ranging from car accidents, hit and runs, and gun shootings...
Many involved police officers, totaling their cars. Ambulance crashing into businesses. DUI's...etc.
And if all this was not bad enough; a local woman's house burned down...losing everything. According to the owner, her greatest grief was losing her family photos, which I can relate to her pain.
You always here about one or two accidents/tragic incidents, per news brief. But there was at least 1/2 dozen or more incidents, that happened just on Christmas day. Many of them could have been avoided.
Our world has really gone downhill... So sad...

@Marty1 there was almost a war apparently, some idiot governmental person in one country thought a fake news site was real, and started something with governmental idiots in another country (I honestly dont remember who, am googling now), which almost started a war, OVER FAKE NEWS. I mean, I saw tons of ppl believe every stupid fake news article that hit FB without checking the source of the news (even when you know certain places are slanted, the facts are still real, other places are totally made up)....
here we go:
Now I did yet more digging, and that story isn't showing up as many places as I would have thought it would, so I don't feel I have fully verified it yet.
A fake news story has touched off a tense Twitter confrontation between Pakistan and Israel, in an episode that underlines the potentially harmful impact of such stories on sensitive global affairs.
