I second matt.

And really, if you strip all the subjective crap (weird! creepy! strange! shock of my life! horrible feeling!) out of a note and there’s nothing left but “I saw a man wearing a glove — in a park”, then there’s objectively nothing of substance to forward or post.

Particularly if the note includes something like “do not hesitate for 1 minute to call 911 if you suspect anything strange, ever”. That is the dumbest bit of emergency advice I’ve ever heard.

Competition

Also MSM doesnt like to report on crimes in concert with DPD who changes the stats so Big D can look “better” to the outside world
even the FBI denounced DPD new methodology

DMN didnt report on NP criminal activity especially at the end of Jan with at least 3 known holdups

DMN doesnt report the 2 realtors who were robbed at gunpoint

if you follow the news, you know what I am talking about

eblasts from citizens will be challanged by those who want to keep a tight reing on info/their jobs BUT THEY WILL CLEVERLY ( but not so) pick on the eblasts and citizen empowerment by pointing out when some HONEST mistakes occur

So what!!
The powers that be commit so many mistakes, honest or otherwise and they’re still in business

Power to the people

100 – (# mentions “children” or derivatives thereof) – (# exclamation points) – (every missed space between words) + (10 if i know you, 5 if i’ve heard of you) = relevance grade.

I don’t want to receive anything that scores below 90.
