CP has some pretty strong opinions on Flames beat writers; how much would you like to be told that people wished you were dead if they based their opinions formed from reading Francis or Dowbiggen?

I just think the people who have spent years in training and years in practice will have a much better idea on how to handle these situations than some hillbilly in his pick-up.
Yet they fail to deliver results again and again.
The problem is not necessarily the people who have the training and practice, it's the rules in which they have to operate under which are failing.

And yeah I am making somewhat of a blanket statement, but if you tune into any north american news channel regularly, you see that these incidents are happening more and more often, whether its troubled kids shooting up their school, a parent killing his/her kid because god told them too, people torturing people etc.

Are you saying Li has been "unjustly accused of something"?
Ask the couple dozen bus passengers if they think Li has been "unjustly accused".........
