Riders' deaths rattle cyclists in Bay Area

SAN JOSE -- There was no screech, no bang -- no noise to warn
bicyclist Daniel Brasse
what was coming around the corner Sunday morning on Stevens Canyon
Road.

A Santa Clara County sheriff's patrol car was facing the wrong way on
the wrong side of
the road after slamming into a group of Brasse's riding partners. A
deputy was walking
around in a daze, later telling at least two witnesses that he had
fallen asleep.

One of Brasse's friends, Matt Peterson, 30, was already dead. Another,
Christopher Knapp,
20, was writhing in agony, with two limbs broken. And the third, 31-
year-old Kristianna Gough,
her leg severed and her head bleeding, was gasping for air.

As he pedaled toward the gruesome scene, all Brasse could hear were
screams.

"Screams of pain," he said, his voice cracking.

Wait! I thought the deputy was performing CPR according to the
earlier version? Yet here, he's walking around in a daze? The
article goes on to mention how another deputy tells the deputy
involved "don't talk to these people" and leads him to her patrol
car. Spin by the Sheriff's department?

No doubt.

How about letting this go.
You add nothing to the solace the community needs.
You bring no critical view that is not third hand.
Learn just to say NO.

You should read your own sig. Ad hominem remarks are among the most
offensive behaviors while holding your tongue, though difficult, is
often the epitome of grace and good manners. Just learn to say NO.

What you wrote (and cut) was uninformed scandalmongering which treated the
subject only to elevate your pretentious position of wunderkind
investigator. Ad hominem is not what you think it is. But this could turn
into infinite regression. Feel free to pen the obvious any time.
