Did you watch Channel 5 after the incident at Kirkwood last night? If you did you noticed Deane Lane (sp?). She had a Kleenex in one hand and a cell phone in the other. She looked like she had been crying. I knew she had a friend at that meeting. Sure enough, when she finally heard from her friend, she mentioned this on the air.
A friend of mine was a friend of one of the officers who was shot. I'm not going to mention names because I don't think that's public info yet. But this friend of mine has been friends with the Kirkwood cop since childhood. My friend is in his 50s.
The St. Louis area is big but it's small but it's big. You, Mr. Kalifornian, think it's small. Nope. Come check it out. As a metro area we rival Phoneix in size.
Yet we're a small town. When a tragedy such as this happens, everyone is a friend of a friend of a friend. You, ladies and gentlemen are at least a friend of a friend of a friend of one of the Kirkwood police officers who lost his life.
A moment of silence please.

I believe Deanne Lane also lives in the Kirkwood community. I actually grew up in Kirkwood and yes, that is where I went to High School. I now live in another community (rural) on the east side and miss the diversity of Kirkwood. I regret that my daughter is growing up in a community that is 99% caucasin. In all my years as a Kirkwood resident I never felt that there was a division in the community. In fact, I felt quite the opposite.However, this is a very subjective topic. I pray for healing in Kirkwood and for those who have lost loved ones. Violence is never the answer. Love is.
