I don't think they're cursed. They are a family that loves physical activity and adventure and they have the money to pursue it. Thus living on the water, affording to fly a plane, skiing. And unfortunately, political assassinations/attempts are not uncommon in this country. |
Umm I’d argue they’re very rare. Especially compared to areas of South America and the Eastern bloc. Only two Presidents out of 45 shot and killed plus one wounded. I never hear of Congressional reps being murdered either. Death threats online, yes. But actual targeted and successful attempts? No. |
Her father died tragically and her son. In 60 years. Meanwhile the Kennedy’s lost at least 18 people in the same time period. |
Two out of 45? I can think of at least 4: McKinley, Garfield, Lincoln, Kennedy. Am I missing anyone? Gabriel Giffords wasn’t killed but she was certainly targeted. |
| I’ve been thinking a lot about this tragedy since I first heard about it. As articles report they entered water at 4 pm and were spotted struggling in their canoe on the way out to Bay at 4:30 pm — that poor mother and her son must have been absolutely terrified. I mean, living a nightmare realizing where they were headed and no other boaters out there to help them due to high winds (not even potential recreational boaters). I am so sorry for them. |
| Likely that one or both weren't in a life jacket. My heart goes out to there family. |
| This is so sad. This was prob really spur of moment, and Anything could go wrong in this case. 8yo Kid could’ve reached for ball or stood up and gone overboard, and mom instinctly went often him. They likely weren’t dressed for swimming, and no life jackets. |
| Among many things, Maeve was the president of the Capitol Hill Cluster School PTA (Peabody, Watkins, Stuart Hobson). This has hit our school community so hard. |
| This is awful but its also completely STUPID. It enrages me that people will be so silly and careless with themselves. |
Please buy and read a US history textbook. Four sitting Presidents have been assassinated while in office: Abraham Lincoln, James Abram Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1897-1901), and John F. Kennedy (1961-63). |
Such a cute family. So sad
|
Anyone think the husbands remarks weird? Within 24 hours of disappearance he had FB posts up to the effect ‘they’re gone, oh well’. |
No, they're not weird. He's grieving and probably in shock. Leave him alone. |
| Heartbreaking. |
