It might also be "C - ignorance (wanton or otherwise) on the part of the
journalist". Of course that might also be filed under "A". This could

Apparently some people can't handle the responsibilities that go with
our rights and privileges. I wonder if there is anything that can be
done about these incidents other than to enforce homicide and reckless
operation statutes after the fact.
