Disagrees with the content of ‘slanted’ story

This is in response to SVM reporter David Giuliani’s Jan. 16 article [“No charges in fatal motorcycle accident”] on the tragic accident leading to Sam Munz’s death. I found it interesting that now, after 7 months, an “investigative” article appears.

The article, written very carefully and technically, portrays Sam as being drug influenced, riding with bad or faulty equipment, and acting in a manner that caused his death (reflected by the “witness” reports and especially the officer who saw someone who “resembled” Sam acting erratically and not signaling his turn). If this was the case, why did the officer not issue a citation to the “resembled” Sam?

Ms. Ruf, on the other hand, was just minding her own business cruising down the road when this drug-fueled biker appeared from nowhere. So she had no recourse but to hit him from the rear.

Good or bad? Depends on who you ask

Sometimes readers ask for more good news in the paper. They say we in the media only cover the bad. But one person's positive is another's negative.
