What the hell? What does the victims religion have to do with ANYTHING? MY report:

"Two people were killed by a falling trees tonight, one a 32 year old woman atheist with breast implants and bleached blond hair who wasn't married but lived with her 18 year old boyfriend in sin and the other a 54 year old bald devout Lutheran of Asian, German, Irish and Native American lineage. Police say the woman appeared to have spaghetti stains on her track suit while the man was well dressed."

Back to you.

@alaaxl822 Good point! And even if they WERE Jewish, does that make their deaths somehow different?  Oh, wait, let me guess: if they WERE Orthodox Jews, then the trees would be antisemitic... :-)
