I agree regards police investigation. That is what I was saying in my
earlier posts.
Regards the media: they can only sell what people are willing to buy. I see
this more as a societal psychosis rather than a media psychosis. Just look
at the video games we play, the movies we see and the TV shows we watch. The
more blood, guts, skin and bodily fluids that are shown or discussed, the
better. And like many things in life, graphic scenes are desensitizing; the
more you see of it, the less you are affected by it. The media feeds on "if
it bleeds, it leads" because we all--well most of us anyway--rubberneck the
car accidents we happen by.
I didn't know Chip--never met him. But I read every story I could find on
the accident. I was frustrated at first with the lack of detail and
information. After further thought, I decided that if it were I in that
position, there was just about the right amount of info. Anything more than
what was given isn't any of my business. And the only folks who should know
more are the family and the authorities.

all we need to do is pray. We should leve the police work to the police. The
meadia acts like they could care less about the person or persons that were
hert. it truly is eye witless news. News use to be about the 5 w's Now it's
more like if it bleeds it leads, who cares about the facts, just get a vidio
of the greeveing family, the crime seen, and lots of blood .
So the best thing we need to do is to get on our knees and pray for chip
and his family.
I know a lady that was told she only had 3 months to live because of cancer.
that was 23 years ago.
God does have the final word on this.
So we just pray that his will be done for chip, and we pray for confert for
his family as they go threw this.
I've never felt so helpless as I did when my Linda had her concassion.
She is still recovering from that.
