Brian Bishop's story on the death of Harley Lawrence has hit a nerve.
This morning when I checked the stats on my blog, it registered 3688 hits.
Harley's death reveals two social problems in Kings County.
One is that mental illness is more prevalent than we had thought.
The second is absolute disregard for human life. Have we allowed movies, media, and video games to remove us from reality and put us into a fantasy world where we can't tell the difference?
It has me. I can read a story about a person or people who died with little emotion.
But show me a tragic story involving an animal and I cry.
What's going on here?
