Instead we get reports from an Amish family in Pennsylvania and how that pole barn got built in 3 days along with her "best fritters ever" recipe. |
Yeah...... you are right. What's up with that. This small town paper here at least post the police blotter. With names ....the crime ...and the sentence or the fine of the perp. Conviction of any kind go into the paper. WTF Globe ???? After all it is public record isn't it ???? I wonder if they think its up to the citizens to go to the courthouse and check for themselves.... Its BS
You guys need to know who your neighbors are if they commit a crime. Its not about being nosy......... its being able to protect yourself......
