MURDER/SUICIDE > UT99

Yesterday I was poking around in my old posts at the Murder/Suicide Blog when I stumbled across something I wasn't aware of.

It's actually getting traffic.

And what really punched me in the gut was that people are actually posting comments to the cut&paste news stories I drop in there day after day. REAL people. Not linkbaiters. Not blackhat SEO SPAM bots.

Real. Fucking. People.

Not only are they real people, but they're people who in many cases knew or worked with the victims and went the the funerals. People pouring their hearts out looking for meaning, reasons, and prayers.

It stopped me in my tracks, put me in a real weird mood, and made me realize I will never look at that blog in the same light as before.

Why I Love StreetView

See the lightpole on the left? It's a killer lightpole.

Some poor woman waiting for a bus got killed when it hit her on the head after a truck knocked it down.

See the bus shelter? Well it was removed sometime between the time the StreetView was recorded and the woman got killed.

Pissed off the local residents (see the KDKA News video).

If that bus shelter had still been there it might not have been fatal.

Awesome stuff.
