Why do you take such an inappropriately humorous tone about stories that are not even funny, particularly to the people involved? A drunken young woman attacking her father in her mother's presence is a sign of a troubled family. The fake bomb must have been terrifying to those who were robbed. The naked screaming man obviously has substance or mental issues and frightened a number of residents in the middle of the night. Those who play on the soccer field must have been quite upset that it was vandalized. Reporting the news is a service; making light of unfunny situations is not.

You might think otherwise if it happened to you or in your family.

I agree with Paula. There is no reason to celebrate, or poke fun of, any of these events.
