So far the Katy Times has not updated the story. Apparently the publishers feel it is acceptable to report a story without using the victims name, or even the name of the person who murdred the cyclist be improper use of a motor vehicle. http://www.katytimes.com/articles/20...515e6472805704 ..txt http://tinyurl.com/cgz9zo -- Bill Asher |

Apparently the publishers feel it is acceptable to report a story without
using the victims name, or even the name of the person who murdred the cyclist be improper use of a motor vehicle. Perhaps the victim's family - or an important part of it - hasn't yet been notified. Or, perhaps, unlike some other local papers, the Katy Times doesn't want to put the driver at risk of vigilante justice by publishing his/her name. |

The funeral was yesterday. The victim was 61 years old. He was three blocks fromhome when he was murdered. |

The funeral was yesterday. The victim was 61 years old. He was three
blocks fromhome when he was murdered. That shoots all MY theories. But anyway, why do you insist on using the word "murdered?" Had he, too, been driving an automobile at the time of the fatal collision, would THAT be murder? "Murder" describes a pre-meditated action. "Arrogance" and "Irresponsibility" describe the way too many people drive automobiles these days. Still, they're not necessarily murders. I just hope the guy was riding like it was his last day on the saddle...the way we all should. |

Would you feel better if I used a gentler word, such as Manslaughter??? He was killed by an 18 year old girl who failed to yield right of way. Larry landed in the car after going through the windshield head first. He suffered massive head injuires as a result of the criminal actions of the young woman behind the wheel. Larry died late the same day. |

Murder requires premeditation and intent to kill, neither of which have been demonstrated here. Stop being an asshat and making the tragic situation even worse than it already is. |

It was premeditated. The girl deliberately, and with malice aforethought, violated basic traffic laws without regard to the tragedy her actions would cause. It's murder. Now do us all a favor. Climb up my leg and have a ball... |

It was premeditated. Whether that was premeditated, intentionally criminal or not, I find it insulting that a Newspaper reports: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The BMW failed to yield the right of way while turning left and struck a pedal cyclist attempting to travel eastbound through the intersection,” a statement from the sheriff’s office said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- without adding anything of its own to such burocratic, agnostic and itself already insulting statement by the Police.
