To Start Your Day Off Wrong...
...try reading these headlines:
Accused in Bus Killing Fit to Stand Trial
Man accused in Greyhound beheading due in court
Beheading accused fit to stand trial
"Accused"?????!!! Thirty+ witnesses and a confession and he's only accused?
And how about this?
Note the article refers to the victim as Indo-Canadian. Why is it acceptable to cite a person's race or ethnicity if there is a possibility of accusing the police of wrong doing, but strictly forbidden, if the person being handled by the police is suspected or accused of wrong doing? I feel very sorry for this man and those who loved him. I also feel sorry for the police who made what seems to me to be a reasonable assumption and took appropriate action. It's just that the media is so two faced and biased, it makes me sick.
