Right wing blogger run down by State employee, is issued jaywalking ticket

Following this story about writer Jim Treacher over at Daily Caller. Numerous witnesses reported that Treacher (whose real name is Medlock) was legally crossing the street when a government car ran him down. Treacher's leg was seriously damaged; he is looking at 6 months recuperation of the injury. Somehow no one is talking over at State; imagine if this were a lefty blogger run down by a Bush administration official, as Daily Caller points out. Read a summary here:

According to Medlock, who writes under the name Jim Treacher, he was struck at about 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, while crossing M Street in downtown Washington. Medlock says he was walking within the bounds of the crosswalk, toward a blinking white signal, when a government SUV suddenly turned left and plowed into him, knocking him to the ground.

Bystanders tended to Medlock, collected his crushed glasses and called an ambulance. McGuinn, meanwhile, called The Daily Caller’s offices from the scene to tell Medlock’s colleagues about the incident. But he did not identify himself to them or to Medlock.
