Excerpt:

A divorced Palestinian guy implicated of illegally relocating his 3 young children from their Kansas home to the Gaza Strip insists they are safe regardless of the ongoing bombings his 9-year-old daughter explains hearing while playing with her Barbie dolls. Ahmed Abuhamda was charged in Kansas with aggravated disturbance with parental custody after he took his youngsters overseas earlier this year amid a custody conflict with their American mother. He told The Associated Press in an interview that while he believes the family is in no real threat, as a Muslim he has instructed his youngsters that everybody has to pass away one day. "The kids they accept whatever is going on here and they know that if their time is coming, it is going to come no matter what," Abuhamda, 40, said in the interview Tuesday. "Nothing is going to stop it.".

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
