You’ve probably heard the story of the drive-by shooting that happened a few nights ago on the NorthSideShore.  The shooter fired bunches of shots and narrowly missed shooting a baby that was strapped in the back of the victim’s car.

The mother of the baby is interviewed by Bob Mayo who is very very careful not to identify the woman and basically interviews her shadow and her feet, never showing her face.

Good job, Bob of taking care of your subjects.

Then to close the story, Bob says,

“The woman says she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and in this case, the wrong place happened to be right in front of her home.”

Um.  So this woman whose identity you are protecting?  Yeah.  You just gave her away to the shooter.  And in case the shooter doesn’t exactly remember where he was when he shot at her, you’ve also been sure to list the exact block on Wilson Street that it occurred.  Good job, Bob.  Good frickin’ job.

Anybody got the number for Witness Protection?
