Slice of tragedy (and criminal behavior) from America's heartland

I happened upon this mugshot gallery from greater Indianapolis (I assume) after following a link to the 10-year-old killed by lightning story. It occurred to me how often in a day or week such tragedies are repeated. It helps me be content with the challenges that I'm expecting to face today.

An off-duty cop arrested for DUI.

An asst. bank manager busted (in an amusing course of events) for pilfering cash.

An idiot who killed two people while racing a refurbed '68 Camaro.

Some high school punks busted for "hazing" some freshmen (that's a euphemism, sounds like bullying and assaulting are more accurate).

A washed up musician, whose stage name was Henry Lee Summer, arrested for meth possession. Apparently (according to wikipedia, he has a bit of a history).

A female teacher/male student arrest . . . a pastor statutory rape arrest . . . a DUI while operating a full school bus arrest . . .

And it goes on and on . . .
