There are senseless deaths and then there are “senseless deaths.” Some are the awful, happenstance outcomes of wrong place-wrong time accidents. Some, and we as a grieving community experienced one recently, are tragic, line-of-duty scenarios involving unfathomable criminal motivation.
And then there are those who needlessly, inexplicably put themselves in harm’s way. Isn’t there something inherently incompatible about huge, hurricane-causing waves, deadly rip tides and an up-close-and-personal experience that includes children?
