From what I’ve seen, Freeper attitudes on the subject were different even a few years back. Attitudes have changed over the last few years, as more examples of this problem have been forthcoming.
Why was it posted?
Because the 17 year old who was terminated for the crime of attempting to defend his terrified sister from home invaders could be any man here.
Because the 14 year old who was arrested for DARING to ask for a warrant could be any Freeper here.
Because Freepers, as a whole, prefer education to ignorance.
Because Freepers who travel to Houston or live in the area, who may not be aware of this story, may be interested in knowing what kind of police force is supported in Houston.
OK, good. Now post an article about the 5 year old burned alive by Janet Reno who could be anyone here’s daughter. It will be as timely.
