I usually am impressed by your ability to report what is going on in our area. In fact I love that you report bare essentials. However, your lead pic for this story is very close to incendiary. We don’t need scary pictures. The world is scary enough. That said, our family appreciates the way you bring us our local news. We can’t afford cable but we are happy to look for our news via internet. It is the only “extra”we can afford.
We are sorry you feel the graphic is incendiary, it is not ment to be nor it is ment to be scary although the story itself is scary.
