Recall during Reagan's terms, there were LOTS of stories about the "homeless", and same for Bush41. Stories disappeared during Clinton, and now they are back.
Classic leftist media. They are quite predictable.
Two years ago, my niece was killed in a car wreck. She was a passenger in her fiancee's jeep (belted in), in winter/snow conditions, he failed to negotiate a curve in the road, and hit an on-coming car. He eventually was charged with vehicular manslaughter (2nd deg), and pled to probation and fines. Ridiculous that he was prosecuted, but he was.
