Check and check and check


Last Wednesday I posted a story of a 15-year-old Swedish girl who beat three men who tried to attack her. Before posting, I did due diligence, searching for sources other than Voice of Europe, where I first read the account. All sites that had the story said the girl was 15. After seeing pictures of the girl, a couple of days ago, I did another search. She has aged 12 years since Wednesday and is now 27. I have seen some 15-year-olds who could whip somebody into next week, but the original writers should have paid more attention. I have a rule about some news stories – Don’t believe anything for the first 24 hours. That is especially applicable for mass shooting stories and “Cop kills unarmed mentally impaired pillar of the community” stories and anything a Democrat has to say about President Trump.
