A better article about Alan Liu and Jill Mason (cyclists struck by drunk driver Easter Sunday)
My sister's on the Mountain View swim team that Alan Liu coached. She
thought (and I agree) that the Chronicle had better articles about the crash than the Press Democrat. Here's a link. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/artic...BAGH8645271.DTL or http://makeashorterlink.com/?K1C521408 I really HATE this sort of thing. Just think, old Harvey likely didn't plan to drive more than a few miles. If only he'd chosen to ride a bike. Marian |

I get why some would think it better than the Press-Democrat; the article in the Chron and the near identical one in the Merc are more about the victims than the crash. That is important. The Press-Democrat has been concentrating more on the incident and not so much on the people. But as time goes on the Press-Democrat will be the only outlet covering this issue; after the first week the Chron and the Merc will find it old news, not local enough, and will drop coverage. But the Press-Democrat will be local and, if past events are an indicator, will cover the DA's decision on charges and, if it comes to it, the trial. The current Sonoma DA has not always been willing to aggressively prosecute drivers that hit cyclists; note the Ross Dillon case (www.rossdillon.com) from a couple of years back. At this time it would seem wise for those interested to impress on the DA, directly and through the media, that this accident cannot be dropped; his office needs to get aggressive and send a message. - rick |
