Do news reports always have to make mention of the fact that the biker was not wearing a helmet? Can't they write that the biker was loved and will be missed by a very large community/fellowship? Can't they write that the cager who turned left was not wearing his thinking cap? Why is a choice deemed so important that when the choice is made to not wear something those who have no idea of what the wind is, feel like they have it all figured out and imply their judgment indirectly?
Instead those talking heads in the news media should take a pointer or several from Patrick Chambers, a retired leo who heads up a loose band of motorsicklist called the 'Misfits' who pens it,
"On Wednesday night at 9:45 PM, Felipe "Phil" Antonio was on his way home in Palm Bay. He was riding his trusty Harley that he and long time soul mate and companion Emily had just paid off. A cager failed to yield and turned left in front of Phil; he crashed and died at the scene."
