Customer Reviews
Local news always has the best angle
What a great resource to follow the aftermath and inside story of the tragic event
Completely One Sided
Continued one sided propaganda from the MSM. 100% trash.
Painful and personal
Instead of sound bites and summaries, with this story you get first-person accounts of what actually happened, from the points of view of participants...willing and unwilling, intentional and unintentional. There are no answers here. I’m not sure there can be answers from the individual participants. It’s like the 3 blind people trying to describe the elephant.
Amazing journalism.
