Don't ever believe what you read in the news. I have been misquoted several times in the last few years, its just sad - they never get it right. I am not sure if it is intentional (to sell papers) or just lack of care. I always assumed that a newspaper editor's job was like an English teacher's job to correct mistakes and fact check - but I don't think they bother any more....

Thank the good lord your still alive.As for the lowlife,I hope he gets caught and his name is smeared all over the web.Sooner or later they will nail him. So sorry about your horrible incident and loss of boat.
So I thought I read on here that they do know who he is and that know charges are filed yet. Also that when you mentioned to the CG that he fled they said that was news to them. Wow why isn't this guy arrested and why aren't you told that? Sounds like a bunch of BS and maybe he is a "local" who knows people.
CHANGE IS SCARY BUT IT IS REWARDING ON THE OTHER SIDE!
SURELY MISS MY CTF FRIENDS BUT ALWAYS WILL BE HERE TO GIVE ALL A HARD TIME!

I think it's a bit of both. Journalistic ethics and standards seem like a thing of the past. In my experience, they make mistakes even when you take great pains to spoon feed them the right information in the right order because they are only interested in the angle they wish to take and don't pay much attention to the rest of the facts. And most now seem more concerned with creating the news rather than simply reporting it.

As part of the investigation, East Hampton Marine Patrol has continued to try to contact the Massachusetts men. Mr. Michels said when he originally reported to the scene at 6 a.m., the men were already well on their way home. They took a Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point to New London, Connecticut, where their car was parked, he said.
"Seven hours later they had left already," said Mr. Michels. "It's just strange."
They released his name, but the chief of police was also quoted to saying it was strange we went home.....wtf??!
Have you lawyered up ? The guy that hit you did right off the bat and that is probably why he's not been charged yet . Please say you've retained an attorney , 'cause if you don't they'll eat you up .

"Politically correct" was initially coined by Leon Trotsky to refer favorably to those whose views remained in sync with the ever-shifting Bolshevik Party line. This was important, as "not PC" people risked prison or death.
