4 Teens Killed After SUV Crashes Into Train
6:41 a.m. CDT June 14, 2007
BAYTOWN, Texas - Four teenagers were killed and two others were injured after a sport utility vehicle crashed into a train on Thursday, KPRC Local 2 reported. Harris County sheriff's deputies said the wreck happened just west of Baytown on East Archer Road near Fleming Drive at about 4:30 a.m.
Do you ever read the news and believe what you read? Personally I find it hard to take anything at face value, and this article is a prime example of how in order to get the news you have to read between the lines.
Whoever wrote the story would like you to believe that this SUV started itself up, and ran away from it's yuppie, global warming contributing family, and drove around town until it found the most innocent victim it could find. Somehow, the SUV must have herded the four unsuspecting teens into a tight pattern, and then smashed them into a train that was not moving. I suppose we're to assume that it used it's powerful headlights to hypnotize the teens with it's "deer in the headlights" trance. Give me a break.
The media in this country is so hung up on sensationalism that they are no longer reporting the news, but are twisting it so it sounds as exciting as possible. All the while trying to condition people to think that guns and SUVs are bad inanimate objects that are lurking around every corner just waiting to assault unsuspecting citizens.
The real story should read:
Justice Served
BAYTOWN, Texas - Four teenage car thieves got what they deserved when they stole a Jeep Cherokee from an unsuspecting working class family. The teens stole the SUV out of the driveway of Mr and Mrs Jones who both work 60 hours a week to pay their mortgage and taxes. When their SUV was stolen and wrecked, their insurance company told them their policy doesn't cover underage drivers and that they would be responsible for not only the value of the vehicle that they use to get to their jobs, but they needed to pay the railroad for damages to the train car the thugs smashed into.
Mr Jones is trying to find a second job, but doesn't speak Spanish. He's put applications in at every fast food restaurant in town, but has been turned down since he's overqualified. Mrs Jones has taken a job as a dancer at the local strip club to make ends meet.
I'm sure if you're on enough drugs you might think someone's gun jumped out of it's case and shot it's owner three times, or that a cars start themselves up, back themselves out of their driveways, and run people down on the streets. For those of us living in reality we know that people are responsible for those actions. The real victims in these stories are the people who get their rights taken away, or who take big financial hits so that criminals can be victims.
I suppose next we're going to start suing fast food restaurants for making people fat.
