Two for Two

Today, was the second day in a row that Salem Police released reports of their being Homicides having occurred in the city.

The first report was of a person having died from a beating and the second from a shooting.

What I find disturbing is area TV News stations spent less that 10 seconds of air-time in reporting the two Murder stories.

Comparably, tire slashing and how to 'Be Safe" during hot weather took headline honors.

I can only assume the news folks didn't see the events as being all that unusual and worthy of in-depth reporting as the two Killings involved people of the Hispanic Sub-Culture.

Has Diversity been Embraced when the loss of human life becomes of minimal concern?
