*Stupid Americans* thrive on disasters, car crashes, Daytime Television
programming, "professional" wrestling, roller derby and several other
flavors of TV junk food. This is OK however, as we need such easily-led
sheepeople to do the more simple tasks of industrial and service based
employment endeavors.

Channel 6 did not, however, need to continue to harp on this
thing like Channel 3 and 10 have been doing. This is OK however
as, thank the stars above, we still have Channel 12 and National
Public Radio. Two refuges from the utterly bad media.

I hope Channel 6 can reclaim itself as the only intellegent source
of local news and objective broadcast journalism after all of this
flack over a suspect being rightfully apprehended for a reheprensible act.

My only question is why the Police did not use pepper spray to incapacitate
the actor while he was still inside of the vehicle? Capicsum Oil sprayed
into
the face via aerosol propellant can bring down even the largest and most
dullard members of society. This is the only tactic I feel the Police should
have done as an alternate. Apply the chemical mace, then handcuff the
suspect. 1-2-3.
