Tragedy During the Games

Why are people crazy?

A Chinese man stabbed to death and American man and wounded an American woman, before taking his own life on Saturday during the Olympic Games. The two Americans were family members of a coach for the US Men's indoor volleyball team. The attacker, 47, leaped to his death after killing the American man.

What is wrong with people? Especially now, during the Olympics, when guns are suppose to put down for awhile, and the only battles to speak of are the ones between the athletes on the field, court or ring. But what do I know? Russia decided to pull out the tanks and bombs this past week and storm Georgia. I guess the hope for a little peace these upcoming weeks was just a fleeting thought from the IOC. Hopefully the rest of the games will proceed without incident.
