Old Harley Davidson police motorcycle and mobile booking center.

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2015/07/old-harley-davidson-police-motorcycle.html

Actually I do not know the date of the picture. I saw it on Pinterest and it really captured my imagination. I am working on a column about the early history of the Maryland State Police - and in particular, the early line of duty deaths. One of which occurred in Westminster at the intersection of Washington Road and Colonial Avenue. Officer Clinton R. Rhodes was killed in a motorcycle mishap in January 28, 1931.

A story about a biker, US Marine, heroic acts and today’s liberal media

This pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Louisiana when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.

Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...

So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days...

Hat Tip: MB Thanks

Alex "Big Al" Bodroghy's life changed in an instant on the Sunday of the Wegmans grand opening. The community was buzzing over gorgeous weather; a hot air balloon lofted over Dearbought toward Ceresville Mansion, and in Waterside a motor scooter collided head-on with a car.

The two vehicles accidentally approached each other; both swerved to avoid, unfortunately in the same direction. Some estimates are that the combined impact of a car going 25 mph and a scooter going 15 would be similar to hitting a cement wall at 40.

The scooter was a mangled mess; no helmet had been worn.

Later, doctors said it was only "by the grace of God" that his neck had not snapped, but worse, Al suffered severe head trauma... http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/opinion/display_comments_columnist.htm?section=sBerryman&storyID=122530#postComments

Steven R. Berryman The Tentacle: Promised to No Man

Promised to No Man

Steven R. Berryman http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4468

My family and I have been living in an “altered state of awareness” since the recent motor scooter accident involving a 19-year-old close family friend, Alex Bodroghy, of Discovery in Walkersville.

He’s one of those children who hangs out with my eldest son and seems to just be another appendage to our clan. He’s been in the ICU of R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center of The University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore for almost two weeks now, and receives 24/7 care to stay alive. He suffered a massive brain injury.

His prognosis is uncertain, and he’s still not always stable.

There’s hope, but everyone involved knows that it will be a very long road to even get him fully stabilized, let alone allow for a semblance of normalcy.

Last Friday The Frederick News-Post ran in my regular Friday column space “In an instant,” which covered the crash and aftermath of the head-on collision, linked here in my blog: In an instant [traumatic brain injury] ...

[...]

See www.CaringBridge.com/visit/AlexBodroghy to follow the story.

To contribute to the family’s massive needs there is a site set up now: “Support Big Al Bodroghy” P.O. Box 103, Walkersville, MD, 21793

“Westminster motorcyclist killed after being struck by pick-up truck”

Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland, August 11, 2009 ---- At approximately 9:45 pm last evening Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to reports of a vehicle collision on Route 97 at Bartholow Road. Upon reaching the scene, deputies discovered a 2005 Harley Davidson Road King motorcycle laying on the roadway against the guardrail on the southbound shoulder of Route 97, its driver was being treated by paramedics from the Winfield Volunteer Fire Company.

Sheriff’s Office investigation revealed the motorcycle had been traveling North on Route 97 when it was struck by a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Pick-up Truck, which failed to yield the right-of-way as it crossed Route 97 Westbound on Bartholow Road.

The motorcycle’s operator, Dennis Michael Henley Jr. aged 32 of Westminster was transported by helicopter to York County Hospital and died early this morning as a result of his injuries.

The truck’s operator, George Chochos aged 49 of Westminster was released from the scene uninjured.

Alcohol is not considered a factor in this collision.

Henley, who is a Police Officer with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, was returning home after attending a training class at the Maryland Police & Correctional Training Commission Facility in Sykesville. Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Investigators are conducting a detailed investigation and reconstruction of the accident, which could take several weeks. Charges are pending the outcome of that investigation.

Anyone with information about this incident, or that may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Corporal Mike Zepp of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office at 410-386-2900, or mzepp@ccg.carr.org. The Sheriff’s Office Investigation continues…
