GMA blows goats

I have to go to work tonight at Schnuck's. I would rather work during the day, but Schnuck's doesn't care.

Good Morning America did a story on this stupid woman, ("the victim" according to them) that was speeding on the highway. She did not stop for the cop, but instead sped up to over 100 mph driving in the grass, the shoulder, came within inches of killing someone and risking the many lives of the drivers on the road. She weaved in and out from South Carolina into Georgia. The police in pursuit (the big, bad police according to the stupid, idiot, moronic media) bumped the back of her car because she would not stop. Her vehicle lost control, hit a tree and her and her passenger died. Now, yes the death of people is tragic and seemed unnecessary, but the way GMA presented it was so slanted that you want to throw something at Diane Sawyer.

So, they milk the story by interviewing the weeping father that just lost his daughter. He also refuses to see the video of his crazy driving daughter. They mention for a brief second that she had her license revoked from previous speeding violations. Then, the father says she shouldn't have died because of a speeding violation. Hello! She was running from the police! That is a crime, not a mere "speeding violation".

And do they ask the officer any questions? No, of course not. They are the big, bad police. Let's not consider the cop that has to wake up every morning with the deaths of two people on his conscience. I guess that wouldn't be "politically correct."
So the big, bad police did their job in preventing innocent lives from being lost and GMA gets on their ass.

In a happy note: my tomato turned red!!!! My first tomato I ever grew all by myself! Yeah!!!
