Very good article. An excellent rule of thumb is to never take at face value the first few hours of news coverage on any crisis situation. Anyone who has been intimately involved with a situation that got nationwide news coverage could tell you that a lot of it is horse manure as far as basic facts go, and since most reporters have the brains of a clam, almost anything can be put over on them, if they don't put something over on themselves first.

I think we will get a lot more of the facts of this Florida story as it develops over the next few weeks.

BTW, you are taking the word of the same media that the cops are lying. Or hadn't you noticed that?
