I feel for the people of Crandon... on several levels.

For one, it's tough to lose one young person. Losing seven in a town of 2,000 brings them to their knees. Having to accept the fact that your son, cousin, classmate or best friend is a killer throws your emotions on a sickening roller coaster.

Throw in the fact that before this weekend, many of them may not have ever seen a television camera... and all of a sudden, overnight, media outlets from five different markets (including the network) have swarmed their streets.

They're on overload. I don't know how much more they can take.

Renee,
Weren't you there? We know that area very well. It is sad and horrible. So many lives lost and they were all kids. I am not sure if we are going to even go near that part of town the next time we go up.

I just pray for those families and for the family of the shooter. There must be such a split between his family and the others. I hope I am wrong. It hit me so hard that I try NOT to watch anymore news on it.

Even Dr. Phil jumped on that one today. And I almost never turn him on. Today he went on, and then right back off.
