Beijing Olympic Stabbings

The Olympic stabbings are making headlines today as one of the most obscure events that have happened in long time. The Beijing Olympics headed off yesterday with a long introduction of what China was like and how they had become the country that they are. No one knew that another sad even would take place when Todd Bachman died after having multiple stab wounds. Todd Bachman is the father-in-law of one of the men's volleyball coaches. Another woman was injured during the attack, leading many to dub this the Olympic stabbings, as heard on MSNBC.

It doesn't seem right that the Olympic stabbings happened since they were in a group with a tour guide when the attack happened. Most attacks like this often happen in dark alleys and when they are alone unlike Todd Bachman and his family was. There aren't many options left since this apparent attacker didn't seem to care that there was more of them or that they were being toured around by a guide. Word hasn't been released yet as to why the attack happened but there are many that are speculating saying that the people of Beijing didn't want American's over there in the first place. The rumors or speculations don't seem to be taking well with the officials and owners of the Beijing Olympics.

There are a few things that we must all come to realize when visiting another country such as these things do happen but they also happen in the United States. The laws are also different from town to town, from state to state, and from country to country. Along with the laws there are going to be some that refuse to follow the laws no matter how much gratitude that you show them.

There should be no blame placed on the Beijing Olympic,s but only on this one individual for carrying out this Olympic stabbing. The only person who had any control over what had happened was the one doing the stabbings.

There are many things that I could tell the family on how to deal with the death of a loved one but every death and every situation is different. I will say that you should talk to one another and give comfort whenever you can and cry on someone's shoulder ever now and then. I can't tell you that the pain will ever go away since I am struggling with my own demons after the death of my son but I can say that as time does move forward you will smile again and those tears that you cried at the thought of your loved one will turn into laughter as you remember him the way that he was.
