From the LVRJ:
Link headline 1: Toddler dies after being run over by truck on Friday 6:29 p.m.
Link Headline 2: One dead, one critical after truck crash 1:42 p.m.
Sandwiched in between the to headlines: Rebels road-killed by BYU, 55-7 5:53 p.m.
Someone at the LVRJ is either very incompetent, uncaring or a very mean person.
However, in the Las Vegas Sun, they also have their terrible choice words in an article today. In a story about how student at a local high school passed away this week from leukemia, the Sun had this to say: David Overstreet met David “Huggy” Garcia when Overstreet was a freshman at football spring training. Garcia was a year older, but he instantly became a friend, Overstreet said.
What really struck Overstreet about Garcia, however, was how he always smiled and looked on the bright side of things — even during the most grueling drills.
“We did...really long, exhausting exercises,” Overstreet said. “He would always smile about it. I’m like, ‘How do you do that?’ And he’s like, ‘I don’t know.’”
It quickly became evident Friday night that Garcia — “Huggy” or “Huggy Bear” as he was known to virtually everyone — was best known for that trait that kept him smiling: His undying optimism.
It was made loud and clear at a memorial for Garcia at Green Valley High School on Friday night.
Garcia, 18, died Monday after a yearlong battle with leukemia. (emphasis mine)

Do we have any competent journalists in Las Vegas?
