Dear Source,
Which statement does not belong with the others?
1. 55-year-old man dies from injuries due to Friday night assault.
2. Tourist dies from knifing.
3. Polar bears coming to St. Thomas with circus, viewed as cruel treatment.
4. Boy, 6 months, dead from continual abuse.
5. Woman is intentionally doused with gasoline and severely burned by ex-boyfriend.
6. Two men dead in drive-by shooting.
7. Girl, 6, is raped and killed.
Give me a break. Since when did the poor polar bears' plight become more important than your husbands', wives', neighbors', and children's lives? The energy and passion which has been displayed trying to keep the bears cool could be used instead to keep the people safe. This boggles the mind and is truly a shame.
