'plane' dumb

I didn't know whether to be appalled or applaud. Until I read that two people are dead.

Did you hear about the guy that intentionally flew a plane into his in-law's house?

OK I think everyone knows I have problems with my in-laws, but I'll admit, before I knew tht the crash killed two, I did snicker.

But while we're talking about dumb people, did you read about the the mother who decided to use her baby like a baseball bat to swing at her boyfriend?

Are people just getting dumber or do we just hear more about them now?
