In a headline on the front of the Metro Section, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, has finally gotten around to the asking the question many of us have been thinking for some time, “Are we safe in our parks?” The lead in to the headline reads, “Recent attacks in Northeast Ohio parks, which paralyzed one woman and killed another, have people wondering. . .” When I first saw this I thought, “Finally, the mainstream media, in the form of Ohio’s largest daily newspaper, gets it.” No such luck. The piece turns out to be Pollyanna piece composed of mostly patrons saying they really don’t see a problem and public officials saying it’s business as usual, everything is the just fine, and ignore the man behind the curtain (the man with the big rock waiting to bash your brains out). Read the entire article here. Let us know what you think in our forums. Also, the Plain Dealer has a blog where you may leave comments. Respectful thoughts may also be sent to the article’s authors via the links at the top of the article. Note: The person arrested for beating Chevonne Ecclestone to death with a fifteen pound rock is absolutely no relation to this author. |
