Some times I wonder what the hell people are thinking. They do something so entirely stupid a self-absorbed you have to wonder if a zombie ate their brain or something.
For example...a local newspaper printed an article today that cause a Judge to postpone a trial because of jury taint. Now this wasn't a "if it bleeds, it leads" story. In fact it had been printed before. It only took up three inches on the first page. It was crap, but it was enough to cause a lot of people who had been working on this case for a long time, witnesses, and not to mention the victim and family a whole lot of grief.
Now I believe in free speech, but come on...get real. This was about like yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater just to watch people trample each other.
If this had been the only time this paper had done this, I might be more forgiving...but no... this isn't the first time. They have done this before, been told about it before, and asked to give consideration before. Guess it didn't work.
Enough ranting for the night.
