Did you ever think that perhaps the poor SOB's family simply didn't want his name spread across 24/7 cable news?

His name wasnt released because the family hadnt been notified yet, as of last nights local 10 o'clock news

I have not thought of that Spence, you might be right.
If my memory serves me right, in these events it's the big name and then others.

It wouldn't be to difficult to find the instuctors name, and IMHO it is more respectful for the press to dignify him with his name and not his occupation.

It is dark huh Spence....its not up to the family whether or not his name is released......if the media has the name they have the right to release it. Lets see if there is even a whisper of his name by the 6:00 news?

Doesn't mean they couldn't request it. The notion that the family hadn't been notified seems the most likely.

Regardless, there are a lot of possibilities that don't lead to an uncaring media deserving of a silly rant

My apologies for sounding harsh Spence....it just frustrates me that the ordinary Joe gets barely recognized of his tragic passing while the "famed" (barely anyone knew his name before yesterday) Yankee picher or more to the point, someone who is "a name" gets his name splashed about the headlines for a week solid as the media beats the story senseless!!! Again.....its a rich/famous mans world!
