This Is Just Sad

[billroper]

If you read this post about the terrible accident near where I had lunch last week, this article tells more about what happened.

A 21-year old woman decided "to end it all" and drove her Mustang convertible at 70 miles per hour down Dempster. She ran at least two lights, then piled into the cars that were waiting for the light at Niles Center Road. Two people were injured -- they were lucky. But the three men riding in one of the cars that she hit were killed. They worked at Shure, the microphone maker just a bit south of there. They were all musicians, all in different bands.

She lived.

She's in the hospital now, being held on three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery.

Damn it.

One of the people that she killed was the brother of a person who works for one of my clients. I was there yesterday morning. I had to leave their office early because they were closing early for the day so that they could all go to the funeral.

That's beyond sad. That's sickening.

Oh my god. That's damn near unspeakable.
