I just saw the news about two separate knife attacks in Jerusalem today. First of all, we didn’t die. Second of all, it’s amazing that the news of two non-fatal attacks 6k miles from the US made the news when you know there were probably 20x that many in Chicago, Atlanta, NYC, or LA in the last two weeks, and probably 10x those in some choice countries in Central and northern South America.
Odd that no one ever worries about me when there is a drive-by shooting or car-jacking back home in ATL. They’d be worrying a lot!
Do you think there’s a chance that the media are exaggerating anything they can find to manipulate the truth, push their own political agenda, and sell papers / ads? We all know they’d never do that.
BTW, one of the attacks was by two 12-13 year-old boys on a policeman. Just another reason for me to be concerned about all the boys that will be trying to court my girls. Glad I have more than knives to protect them. 🙂 And yes, girls, I know you are reading this.
