Viewers mourn together...

First of all, the crew of the Weekend Morning Show would like to express our deepest sympathies to Officer Joshua Miktarian's family, friends, and fellow officers.

This past weekend the live webchat that we conduct here on the Weekend Morning Show blog served an entirely new purpose than it has in the past. I was very proud that viewers took it upon themselves to use our webchat as an outlet to express their opinions and pay their respect to fallen Twinsburg Police Officer Joshua Miktarian.

Our chat received more than 1500 page views on Sunday as folks joined to share their memories, their condolences, and discuss with other viewers how such a tragedy could happen and what should be done to prevent events like this in the future. I'm sure that many in the live chat never even knew Officer Miktarian, but felt compelled to log on and share a kind word or two with those who did. This to me is the main reason to have a live webchat... to serve a place where viewers can come together and share in the stories that affect our lives either directly or indirectly.
