Remember the day,

When finding a woman lying "dead" in the middle of a much used roadway would have grabbed #1 position in the headlines?

#1 Lawn Chair Pilot Recovers His Gear

#2 Land Developer Hospitalized After Shooting
#3 Body Found In Mount Angel Area

But then, there was the young man found dead in a ditch near Molalla the other day and he thought to be the victim of a hit-and-run driver and last week when the driver and a passenger (both Hispanic males) stopped their vehicle in Portland to unload a pedestrian they had hit and had remained lodged on their hood for a five to six block ride.

Yes, they dumped his limp and bloody body to the side and drove away. Note: He did recover.

As I recall those were the days before we began Embracing Diversity.
