After reading this horrific story a couple of weeks ago, I thought that I would email the editor of the paper that wrote the article. After writing the email and getting read to hit "send" another screen appeared that was encouraging people to think about visiting Missouri and see their great state. Now having been there many times, I am NOT knocking the state... however I do have a problem with a newspaper that will write an article such as that and then have NO compassion for the cyclist or their family... but instead encourage me to come and visit. What am I missing when what that did was exactly the opposite? Anyway to make a long story short, the editor wasn't all that sympathetic and didn't take any responsibility for the article OR the fact that I was being encouraged to come visit a state where the local newspaper/editor thought that was a perfect place to encourage tourism rather than showing compassion for the cyclist.
