Boy dies after drop from bridge June 15, 2002 Posted: 7:03 AM EDT (1103 GMT) BLOOMINGTON, Indiana (AP) -- A man was arrested for allegedly hurling his niece and nephew off a bridge and into a creek because he was angry at their mother. The 2-year-old boy died. Monroe County Sheriff Steve Sharp said the 14-year-old girl managed to climb to the roadway and get help. The uncle was arrested Friday and was expected to be charged next week with murder and attempted murder, authorities said. The boy's body was recovered early Friday from a creek in rural Monroe County, north of Bloomington. His half sister was hospitalized in stable condition. The 30-year-old uncle allegedly told investigators he was angry with the children's mother over $300 she owed him. He found the children home alone, and cut the girl's throat with a kitchen knife, authorities said. He then drove the children 15 miles (24 kilometers) in his pickup truck to a bridge and pushed the girl into the water, about 20 feet (6 meters) below, police said. He dropped the boy off the bridge and left, investigators said. Copyright 2002 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. I don't think you see anyone from other countries doing this kind of stuff over a measly $300. Unbelievable. I would love to just string this guy by his balls and throw him over the bridge. Damn b*stard. These kids did nothing.
Nah, people in other countries kill eachother over soccer matches. I think this kind of crap happens everywhere, you just don't hear about it unless you are actively looking.
<i>I don't think you see anyone from other countries doing this kind of stuff over a measly $300. Unbelievable. I would love to just string this guy by his balls and throw him over the bridge. Damn b*stard. These kids did nothing.</i> Nope, you just hear people in other countries killing each other over meaningful things like soccer, saying something negative about a dictatorship, disagreeing with someone else, whether it's fighting over lands for thousands of years, religion, etc. It's not like we hear about other countries committing suicide bombings of other people for disagreeing with them, killing adults AND kids. Or even training hundreds, even thousands of kids to commit suicide missions like, I don't know, FLYING PLANES INTO BUILDINGS! That only happens in the U.S. That guy should be put to sleep no question, but I seriously doubt it only happens in America. The U.S. has its fair share of nuts, plenty of them, but no way is this exclusive to America.
