Updating Plainfield Today's post yesterday that a pedestrian was run over and killed on East Front Street Friday evening, it appears possible the incident may be Plainfield's third homicide of 2009.
Word in the street is that the male was pushed into the path of the vehicle which struck him, and that two men fled the scene on foot.
As details emerge, I wonder if my hunch that the victim may have been Hispanic and the victim of a mugging gone awry -- by individuals who may NOT have been Hispanic -- will be proven correct or mistaken. And whether the public will be given all the details.
If correct, would that make this a homicide? The city's third for 2009?

Anything in the media? if so I missed it. If not, not important! or political censorship.
Happened Friday night. Courier in holiday mode over weekend. They may pick it up tomorrow or Wed.
No censorship, unless you consider 'radio silence' a form of censorship.
Pretty wild speculation there on the ethnic origins of the alleged victim and alleged/possibly imagined attackers.
As I said, I await being shown to be INCORRECT ... or not.
We were thinking of renting in plainfield but this makes me rethink things..
