I just can't help but wonder about that: did liberal political correctness (Portland is very liberal) cost James Kim his life?
The included article from San Fran Chron outlines events pretty well, as far as I can tell.
ping for your Oregon list
great pic. of michelle!
"The Ineptness of James Kim." is a much more appropriate Title.
Michelle Malkin bump!
I feel for the incident commander. I was involved in SAR for a while and ran a few incidents, both real and Mock. It is very easy to become overwhelmed. You have to keep your head when all about are losing thiers.
This is something she is going have to live with for a long time. I wouldnt be too quick to comdemn her unless you were put in simular positions.
Why is that??
Thank you for following the rules
I have to wonder who they're protecting by placing the blame at the feet of the Josephine County....
Not knowing what really did take place I can only surmise, of course.
I have a friend whose son was born brain damaged because a doctor failed to show up in the delivery room 45 years ago for a similar reason. They were the first people in the Bay Area to successfully sue a doctor in such a case.
Always, and always a pleasure!
Why am I surprised. The military as well as some special private companies have heat seeking equipment and can detect a dear in the forest. Where is this equipment? Same place as almost everything that could be used is. We have a political system built of the dumbest of the dumb, and don't expect anything important to be added to the search and rescue teams. Too busy filling their pockets to do anything meaningful.
Wow! I'm sure (I hope) they realized that the game really just wasn't worth it, and regretted their decision.
Sheriff preferring to watch football instead of call to action didn't help, did it?
You mean his desire to find help for his family is termed "ineptness"? Your comment termed "assinine" is more appropriate.
80% of Oregon is as conservative as can be. If it wasn't for the overwhelming concentrations of liberal in a few key spots, it would be like Idaho. Josephine county is red.
Right now I'm recalling all of those buses in New Orleans during Katrina.
Did the report ALSO mention that while there MIGHT have been some breakdowns- that at least SOMEONE WAS LOOKING for Kim? Or did they just malign all those who risked theirl ives looking for kim- criticising their efforts when the reporters did NOTHING? Cripes- http://sacredscoop.com
