Raw nerves become exposed during times of great stress
KAMLOOPS — During times of crisis, it’s natural for our sensitivities to be heightened.
It wasn’t surprising, then, to receive an angry response to a story yesterday about a Williams Lake evacuee being charged in connection with the trashing of a hotel room in Kamloops.
A window was broken, a fridge overturned and some items set on fire, according to a report released by RCMP. A suspect, who is a wildfire evacuee from Williams Lake, has been charged with arson and mischief.
This is what one reader said: “Really, Mel, why would you mention evacuee? The deed done was rude and deserves the punishment, but 99.9 evacuees have been thankful, well-behaved, nice people. Rude of you, imho.”
