You would think, but it seems the public is so jaded now with things happening to kids that this is no big deal. They barely mentioned it on my local news. Our top story was the snow.

They're not really covering it much.

Quoting bbbt:" They're not really covering it much."

Got that right. I came across this story yesterday on a celebrity gossip website. Had I not, this would have been the first time that I'm hearing about it.

This is the first I've heard of it

I don't know if this guy has a bomb strapped to himself and they're trying not to tick him off, or if they really don't see this as a big deal because the kid is being fed.

that's ridiculous! this is a horrifying story.
I can't even imagine what his parents are going through. this crazy bastard shot a man to death. I hope to god he makes it out okay, and very soon.

I can't imagine what his parents are going through right now.

Have any of the stories mentioned what the guy wants?

Quoting SpaceCowgirl:" I can't imagine what his parents are going through right now. Have any of the stories mentioned what the guy wants?"

I just saw one posted a min. ago that he said he wants a reporter sent in to tell his story in exchange for the boy.

Not that I've heard, they're being so tight lipped about it all.

does he have it strapped to himself or the bunker?

Quoting MyPurrrtyBabies:" does he have it strapped to himself or the bunker?"

No, I don't know if there is one or not. I just assume there's something major they aren't telling us because this should be HUGE news and it's barely being covered.
