Why is it that when a rider is wearing a helmet and has injuries the news story does not make a point of saying ” rider WAS wearing a helmet ” ???
I thought the same thing. And of those not wearing a helmet, did they have head injuries? I’m sure we will never know. As for the drugs and DUI’s arrests, the number is miniscule considering the number of people visiting. Why don’t they show all the numbers? Such as how much money everyone spent in the area this week.
Of the seven (7) stories mentioned, six (6) included a cycle rider. Of those six (6) separate stories, five (5) were not wearing helmets and only one (1) was wearing a helmet. So yes, it was mentioned that that there was one (1) individual that wore a helmet that was involved in an accident.
Just a note from the editor:
This story is updated each day with new information from the SD State Patrol, who is also responsible for its content.
The previous days narrative may not necessarily be available as the new information covers up the old story.
They(the govt) want to control what you do because were nothing more than a target for money by those who make money from deep pocketed taxpayers.
