I don’t trust the police, but I know it’s needed.

There was an article in 2016 posted about harassment. I think it would be a good idea if anyone has the resources to update it or have a lawyer tall about it on a monthly call. There’s so much grey area, like so much else with the registry

And Joe Friday of the show Dragnet use to say

“just the facts, ma’am Only state exactly what happened, without embellishment or exaggeration.”

To Jacob & Facts should matter

You are doing just what the other side wants us to do, fight among ourselves. I have gotten mad on here many times. Both at what others wrote and sometimes at FAC themselves over a decision.

Having said that, at the end of the day, if you do not work together, the ship will sink. Share your opinions but remember we are ALL in this together. Together we conquer, divided we fall. Remember, “Strength in numbers”.

Prayers, hope and much love to all those working behind the scenes to fight the good fight. I try and remember this from the Good Book:

1 Timothy 6:12
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

CherokeeJack:

For some reason you reminded me of an old Glee episode where they were running a school newspaper and the teacher was saying stuff like “We’re not interested in facts, fact checking, verification, or facts!”, Lesson One: Making Stuff Up” and “If I heard it, it’s probably true or something.”

Pretty much sums up modern journalism, I would say.

Sounds like my daughter when she wanted something when she was about 5 or 6. She would throw a tantrum until she got her way.

From personal experience, reporters will do ANYTHING to get a story, even if it ruins someone’s life and reputation. Look at how many people who are “Tried and convicted” in the news even before they get a day in court.
They almost never report a retraction and , frankly, no one listens to retractions anyway even if they did. When I was going through my ordeal, my wise Father told me “Time heals all wounds”. Basically if you lay low and stay out of the lime light, the storm will pass and you will be forgotten about.
For example, when I first moved where I am living now, people were up in arms about me moving in. I have been here a couple of years now and those same people wave at me when I am outside. (There are still those who give me the evil stare though)

Yeah I got fired at my last job over that. Someone came in and hung flyers on every isle of the store. My Boss stuck up for me but the some employees who felt they had the right to know this all along and were pissed, called corporate and got me fired.

And you can call the police if you want (I use to be a cop) but from experience, they won’t do much to investigate anything related to someone on the registry.

Don’t put words in my mouth, Facts Should Matter. Go get someone else to say that so you can argue with them. I am not your straw man.

You asked why there is more outrage for other marginalized groups than this one. Well, gee, Facts Should Matter, I have no idea why that could possibly be, maybe a smart person like you can figure it out a reason.

Call the police and file a complaint

Also possible the “anonymous tip” came from the reporter himself.
