Talovic family keeps to itself after moving back to Bosnia

Their family did not do any damage at all. The son of a family did the damage, not his father, mother or other family members.
May their wounds heal with the help of others.
So you just read a story about a family whose son killed 5 people in a random act of violence. The father says that his community in Utah reached out to him, icluding a victim's family, to let him know that they didn't blame him for his son's actions. Then you proceed to seemingly generalize all Utahns as "holier than thou" based on one comment on an anonymous message board. That just doesn't make sense.
Big deal if they don't talk to their neighbors. Neither do I- other than an occasional conversation about the weather or a wave hello/good-bye. That doesn't mean people like this are freaks of nature and hermits. We just value privacy and our own personal space.
God bless the Talovics. I hope they will find comfort in knowing that not everyone in the world is judging them.
I don't know - maybe not. But if one of my children had died in that tragedy, I can't say I could hold the family absolutely and completely blameless.
I guess the biggest thing that kept running through my head as I read it, is whether the boy would have still done what he did, if he had known the impact it would have on his own family. In effect he also killed all of them...they're just dying in a more drawn out manner.
For your information I did not intend to generalize ALL Utahns as "holier than thou". Although, I see it frequently and do not like it. I understand also, I didn't exactly make myself clear. I don't even know if the person who said this is indeed a Utahn. I still shame them just the same. I realize how many people reached out to the Talovic family. I was one of them and I am a Utahn.
May the peace of the Spirit be upon them.
Thank you for the article for letting us know how they're doing. May they heal.
