The coverage on this yesterday had dozens of FReepers swearing they would NEVER go to that godawful S&W. The story then was the he’d left his wallet at his friend’s apartment, offered to leave his cell as collateral, and take a busboy with him to his friend’s place to retrieve the wallet. That would apparently be the wallet NYPD Commissioner Kelly said contained $100+
That was my problem with the reporting early on. S&W was painted as the villain and it shouldn’t have been. The typical evil capitalist business going after some poor tourist nonsense which liberals and their lackeys in the media have to drum into the heads of low information voters as often as possible.
