I deleted all the news related favorites from my toolbar after reading this. I am already half-depressed and the news just keeps getting more sickening.

Some people choose not to make themselves aware of world events. Some don't read the news and choose not to have opinions. They are some of the happiest people I know. Except when tyranny comes knocking on their door and the victims of the past are now complicent to them.

This story brought tears to my eyes. Why would anybody slit somebody's throat? Much less that of a 3-year-old? That is so sad.

I don't understand why "while the father serves in Iraq" needs to be in the title, but whatever.

King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng choked up when he said that the horrific nature of the crime was compounded because Milkin was serving in Iraq when the crime occurred.

“Sergeant Milkin put himself in harm’s way in service to his country,” Maleng said. “He had no reason to fear for the safety of his family back home in a peaceful neighborhood in Kirkland.”
