The more shocking the headline, the more people will view it.

Now that is has been confirmed that it is INDEED a bomb and NOT a fault Lexus Hybrid, why is this still breaking major news? The only reason this became front page news is because of the possibility that Lexus could have produced a faulty vehicle. I am glad the DR is still alive and hope that he has a full recovery, I'm not trying to say anything about that. But people get shot and killed everyday, I'm sure cars get blown up or lit on fire in various parts of the nation for whatever reason. I hope they catch the guys who did it, but I just get sick of the media pouncing on whatever they can these days and turning it into a circus act.
End rant...

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. – A car bomb explosion critically injured the head of the Arkansas State Medical Board on Wednesday, detonating in his driveway as he was leaving for work, authorities said......
Trent P. Pierce, who oversees the board that licenses and disciplines the state's doctors, was injured after "some type of explosive device" tore through his car, West Memphis Police Chief Bob Paudert said.....

He was appointed to the board in January 1997 and reappointed in 2005 by former Gov. Mike Huckabee. The board oversees the practice of medicine in Arkansas and can discipline doctors for wrongdoing, including revoking their medical licenses.
that could be a motive, but who knows

Wow .. though these would not happen here. Definitely a rare thing to have someone place a bomb in your car. To have someone actually go through and put a bomb in your car, must be alot of anger or hatred for this doctor. Very very sad regardless

just as an FYI to be on the watch for any TSBs / recalls that may be associated, depending on the outcome

OK, lets see how many irresponsible rumors you can start.
