Hypothetical scenario:

Let’s say just for the sake of argument and just for fun that a right wing blowhard editorial writer were struck and killed while riding his or her bicycle. Take your pick of whom, there are just so many of them out there with their pro-Putin/Russia, left-wing-hating-projection conspiracy theories that you could throw a stick out a window and hit seven of them… but I digress.

There would be so many conspiracy theories, investigations of the driver, inquiries as to what type of car had been involved whether it were foreign or domestic, the proclivities of the registered owner of the car, his or her children, parents, grandparents, and the country from which the family had emigrated five generations ago, and God knows what else. And God forbid if the person who accidentally killed the individual was of color, then all hell would break loose and calls for capital punishment and repression of that group would be flying fast and furious.

Just a thought on a rainy Wednesday in the northeast, the region where all subversive behavior is initiated. You’re going to have to excuse me, I have to go into my basement under the pizza parlor to do some stuff.

Any cameras? Video?

Going from memory here, but journalists usually don’t ride a bike into a train.
