New meaning for CYA?

What have we come to?

In the last 48 hours the Salem area has suffered two Fatal vehicle vs. pedestrian accidents, both of which were Hit-and-Run and the second has yet to be reported by any major News agency 24 hours after the occurrence.

Note: The first occurring on Silverton Road NE and the second on Lancaster Avenue SE.

This morning we have news reports about stolen bicycles and sports equipment, yet little and nothing about two people losing their lives due to someone's care-less-ness.

Why so we ask?

Perhaps its Fear of Civil Unrest becoming a problem (not an issue) as by now most Citizens well understand that Hit-and-Run drivers are, #1 most often Illegal Aliens who are #2 without Drivers Licenses (or at least in their real name) #3 have never been taught how to drive, #4 have no insurance #5 and need the vehicle for getting to work the next day #6 in the Nursery or Farming industries.

Isn't this to be expected though as single women can have their purses stolen and then pistol whipped in an East Salem shopping mall and nothing is ever reported in the news. But then, the pistol whipping and the running over and killing of another human might cause a Big Advertiser to lose some retail sales.

No doubt the term CYA also relates to Cover Your Advertiser.
