I'd love to see the probable cause affidavits after they're released.

 

"Hey, sorry about the bank robbery! Here's all the money and I'll pay for the stuff that got broken when the people got scared. Sorry! Really, no biggie now. Thanks."

Doesn't work that way. Can't wait to see how this progresses in the courts, as I hope it will and it should, and they hammer the everloving shit out of this magistrate, law enforcement group and hopefully the narcissistic hag who started it all.

 

A1 is fantastic:

 

I "liked" it only because I want to see this bitch get dragged by a Case IH through mud. Thanks for sharing.

 

In Wisconsin, I can look up the record of a drunken-driving conviction online if it went down in a county court. Even if Kansas doesn't have such a resource, the court where the conviction occurred should be required to release the information. And I can't imagine writing a story without obtaining a court record like this independently anyway. It should be a public document.

 

Getting worldwide coverage for all the wrong reasons is quite the feat. Police chief Gideon Cody and judge Laura Viar might have been perfectly happy to keep all their closet skeletons locked up nicely if not for the fact that Cody had a personal vendetta against the paper for snooping around a previous search without a valid warrant, apparently granted by Viar without a signed affadit.

Suddenly, Cody's previous history in Kansas City and Viar's drunk driving arrests are out there for the world to see. Instant Karma's gonna get you.

And who here hasn't worked in a place that looked like this? The Rocky Mount Evening Telegram building was only slightly nicer than this when I took the job there in 1993.

 

Did the dumb-ass cops break in through the window? That would have been quite the sight, watching Barney Fife-type shimmy up a ladder. Then again, maybe it was lard-ass cops who then fell through the ceiling.

 

The Pulitzer committee does have an honor for "special citations and awards."

Dare I say the Meyer family is worthy of consideration.

 

May I present the still barren Howard Street offices of the Rocky Mount Evening and Sunday Telegram. That hole in the window has been there since at least 2012, according to Google Maps history. The other buildings on that block have been vacant for the better part of three decades.

 

Ahhhh, karma's such a wicked bitch. Hahahahahaha.
