What is this world coming to?

This happened not far from Winnipeg where I live, how absolutely awful! Seriously, what is going on in this world?

That is horrible. I don't know what else to say. I just read that to my husband and we are both speechless. There are some very evil and sick people in this world. Although I would not want to classify them as people, rather monsters disguised as people....

Wow...that's something you'd expect to see in a nasty horror flick, or read in a scary book...

Horrible. There are truly some sick people in the world, IF you can call them people. Which many wouldn't.

I heard about this the other day....very sad.

It is horrific and unimaginable, but it is not the direction the world is headed. Humans have committed unthinkable acts against others throughout history and, probably, prehistory.

What's relatively new is we have CNN (and Internet forums) to report it to every corner of the earth.

People are expected to become more cynical as we get older but, personally, I've seen so much selfless good in the world that I refuse to give up hope.

That story left me sick to my stomach. I have followed along with it since it happened the other day, and as the more gruesome details emerged...I had to stop reading it.

I don't know how I would react knowing a loved one of mine was killed, and his body was treated in such a disgusting way. That poor family

I've been following this story. That poor young man. Unfortunately this type of thing is happening more and more. This time is just unusual because it happened in front of 40 witnesses.
