Today/yesterday morning (Wednesday) a football coach was shot in the head by a 24-year-old psycho son of a bitch who used to play football for him in Parkersburg, IA (the town I grew up in).

Shit, and our society is so desperately lacking football coaches. Hmm... does that comment make seem like a hyper-utilitarian or something?
If he had died in his sleep or something, then it'd be his time. It's just crazy, being from a town of less than 2,000 people in Iowa, that shit happens like this. I feel real bad for all the kids who had to see their coach killed right in front of them.
/bow Yeah I go to school in Mt. Vernon, Iowa and I don't even wanna think about how big news like this would be there. I love reading the newspaper when I'm waiting at the doctor's office, the town is so small that every week the paper reports on every last thing that was discussed at every city council meeting, it's depressing.
