WHY MENTION IT?

In the Feb. 23 Metro section was the headline "Teenage Motorist Had
Pot In System." Under that, in smaller writing, "Drug didn't cause
fatal crash, though." I thought for a minute I was reading the tabloids.

If a trace of pot was in his system, which didn't cause the accident,
why why why put it in the paper? I didn't have to know that. The
family has enough grief to go through without the paper blabbing about
something so meaningless in this case. If he was high at the time of
the accident, that is one thing, but what you wrote was wrong, and the
family needs an apology.

After reading that article, I threw the paper in the trash, as it was
too dirty to put in the bird cage. Get a life! That article was a big
waste of trees and ink.
