KATU briefly covered my Jamal Green story from earlier this week last night. Didn't give credit, despite having called up on Thursday asking for pictures of the young man and congratulating us on the coverage. Still, I'm glad it's getting wider play—even if KATU isn't our official "news partner" like it is WW's.

As usual, Katu's commenters are charitable as all hell:

"Well, the problem was, the cops can't read minds and don't know if a person is dangerous or not. Maybe Granny should put a sign on him? ..I know that's mean, but I think with his impairment, he shouldn't have been alone, as it's obvious that he doesn't have good reasoning abilties."
"Maybe the dude isn't playing with a full deck, who knows? Either way, great way for granny to score some bingo jack. Send your disabled grandson to the wilderness of Portland, allow him to make contact with the cops. Get zapped, get paid.

Considering the state of the economy many people might be considering smack talking a cop, draw a zapp, slip in the bathroom near Sammy the Sodomite, or take a dive in front of a deep pocket vehicle."

Enough to renew one's faith in humanity, reading those.
