juxtaposition


Last Friday, a bomb planted at a bank in Woodburn, Oregon exploded and killed an Oregon State Trooper and a local police captain, and injured the local police chief and a bank employee.


Unless you live in Oregon, you may have not heard the story. It is a tragedy.


I have not heard of a single story in the Mexican press warning tourists of the danger of traveling to Woodburn.


Interesting how stories of grenades and bombs south of the border seem to be better plots for fear-mongering.
