Jumping to Conclusions

I enjoyed reading the column by Jacquielynn Floyd for The Dallas Morning News. And I fully agree with her. We, as people, want to make a big story even bigger. We want to assume the worst. We want it to make sense in some way. If there is some crazy ex-boyfriend or a conspiracy behind a crime, we feel safer because we fell that it couldn't happen to us because we don't know any of those crazy people. I think a big problem of this though, is that when the "boring" truth is found out, it seems lame and we forget about it.....even though the crime was still horrible and the victims family is still tremendously suffering.
