The Stabbed incident in Beijing Olympics
As always, this time also many ugly incidents happened in the Beijing Olympics. I just want to pick one of the most inhuman and ugly incident and it is the man stabbed down in this month while people were in hard competition for the gold medals. Todd L. Bachman was stabbed down to death with his wife left seriously hurt.
Now the funeral ceremony of Todd L. Bachman is going to happen in the coming Friday and the arrangement has been made at Christina Lutheran Church in Lakeville as his son-in-law said. Hugh McCutcheon, the son-in-law, is the U.S. men’s Olympic volleyball coach.
I felt terrible to imagine the situation that the family came to enjoy the Olympic and now they are going back without his father-in-law with mother-in-law seriously hurt. It is horrible to imagine and now his wife Barbara is under treatment at mayo Clinic in Rochester. Now she is recovering and will soon be able to back to normal.
