water under the bridge...

By now, most everyone has heard about the crazy Vietnamese man Lam Luong who chucked his four children off a bridge in Dauphin Islan.

It's an absolutely terrifying story, and I can't imagine what that woman must be going through. The kids were aged 4 months to 3 years, and I don't even want to know what was going through their minds as someone they trusted picked them up and flung them to their deaths.

However.

That being said, one must try to find some sort of light side in the wake of a tragedy such as this. Though this is a horrifying tale of bad parenting, there is only one thing more horrifying than the deaths of the children.

And that is the woman that CNN chose to speak to and broadcast in a video I found on CNN.com.

Some still photos:


Here this lady is, in all her glory. All the reporters seem to be hanging on to her every word.



Can you blame them? She looks like a pretty credible source.



"Thems was just BABIES! Baybies...them dint deserve that...thems was BAYBIES!!!"



Check out that sweet hairdo. Two scrunchies—that do ain't goin nowhere.



This is the moment where she just got fed up with all the reporters and decided to leave.



Look. At. That. Face.



She's outta here.



The reporters later explained that she felt so moved and compelled to lay flowers at the site.

Silk flowers.

These kids are DEAD lady. You couldn't have sprung for some live ones? Or at least taken the time to rip them out of someone else's yard on your way over?

This is Alabama they way the world sees us, folks.
