The UnStory of the Week

There always seems to be an important story that goes unreported in the media every month. It's not like is even a huge story is the media to take its place. There is nothing in the news. So instead of the below story, we hear manufactured news.... the next "pandemic" (bird flu), how Bareback Mountin' lost the Oscar, etc. Maybe there will be a "new twist" to the Natalie Holloway story.

Of course, the story sticks to the formula of an unreported story. Not only did the offender think about this for 2 years, he rented a bigger car to cause more damage. I would have thought the environmentalists would be on him since he rented an SUV, but nope, no one is touching this story.
A University of North Carolina graduate accused of running down nine people on campus began thinking about the attack two years earlier to avenge mistreatment of fellow Muslims, investigators said in an affidavit.
In interviews with police after he gave himself up following the attack Friday, Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, a 22-year-old native of Iran, said he rented the Jeep Grand Cherokee he was driving because it had four-wheel drive and he could “run things over and keep going,” according to in an application for a warrant to search Taheri-azar’s home and vehicle.
