ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Authorities have identified a Canadian mother and daughter as the victims in Monday's fatal stabbings in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

I offer my condolences to the family and friends of the deceased victims who never deserved to die in such a horrific way.
Hopefully, this incident won't be viewed as a common occurrence and won't discourage further tourism to the US.

We have a right leaning talk radio station - 101.5. The morning guy is not that 'bad'. This was the 'talk' today on my way into work.
Nothing could have been done to prevent this. Our state laws do not allow people to be committed against their will.
As well - we've had HUGE budget cutbacks in public services by NJ Governor Christie.
See - this is our chickens coming home to roost. Truthfully - my husband and I are not gamblers - but the crime in Atlantic City is out of control . . . we won't go there. Better to go to Asbury Park beach and support the artists, restaurants, bars, and GLBT community that has made Asbury Park its home.

When the music comes out to play. Also for the traffic reports.
I from Ocean Grove by the way.
