stolen news comment

"I used to see them going along the road with their little white dog, so we knew them from that respect."

this is from bbc news article that I have lost, an elderly couple in sheltered accommodation died in a fire started by young angry children.

I liked the mention of the white dog, and the "so we knew them from that respect" -- I don't know what is being communicated in that last bit, something of a hopeless gesture, I think it requires a specific hand motion we do not have the access to see.

There was another article I wanted to quote from, a father who killed his daughter in his car (she was also in the car), I forgot to save this, and the mother described how she saw him out the window of the living room driving past while making a strange expression, bemused, jolly, I am sorry not to be able to quote from that bbc news article (and I would have provided a quote too).

And this reminds me of a Current93 song, "A car sweeps by/ with a desecrated girl" something like that, and it was suggested in the Wire magazine probably, was a reference to the "soham murders"

Here has been some news.
