And this story originally went out with the sensational headline: "Man Escapes Mountain Lion Attack In Palo Alto" (in the Mercury News)! Absolutely shameful, and ultimately harmful to all mountain lions, which are perceived as vicious monsters because of headlines like that. Newspapers should try taking the low road occasionally, and play down these stories. Just report THE FACTS as they know them (the headline made it sound as if the attack happened in downtown Palo Alto), without embellishment or exaggeration. Especially when a story was as incomplete and as fishy as this one was from the start.

The only reason he's not in jail is because he's from Portola Valley. Had no business in the park in the first place, as it is restricted to Palo Alto residents suffering from rectal-cranial inversions.
