Was the stage set up by union laborers?
It’s so nice when an unspeakable tragedy fits so nicely into our political agenda, isn’t it?
Five people dead, at least one of them a “Mexican/union” crew member. Others horribly injured, and some of them may die as well - and judging from the event they were attending, it is very likely that some of them carry a union ticket.
News flash: this is Indiana in early August. There are such things as thunderstorms, and at times they’ve been known to involve dangerous straight line winds. These winds a few years back caused substantial damage to one of the skyscrapers downtown, and so the fact that they blew over a relatively light structure like a stage is not at all shocking.
This was a terrible calamity at a venue that’s already seen its share of disasters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi_Coliseum). Let’s concentrate on praying for the victims and their families rather than on torturing the event into our narrow worldview.
