When I went online this evening, I checked out Google News, as I often do, just to get a handle on the major news of the day. Under the section for U.S. news, these are the headlines I was greeted with:
![Violent deaths in Google News headlines, July 30, 2016.](https://i0.wp.com/maryewarner.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/violent-death-in-news.jpg?resize=640%2C231&ssl=1)
Only four headlines were provided under the U.S. news section and every one of them deals with violent death. It’s enough to make me want to crawl under a rock. Certainly there was some good news happening somewhere in the U.S. today.
