Start posting the names says
We should be like the other towns and put the person’s name up and see who the problems are
Random Stranger says
Small towns can get away with that because by the time it hits print, the whole town already knows about it.
protect peoples privacy says
why? so that you could harass them and act like a righteous nitwit, putting people you dont know personally on a cross. or maybe you want a person with a dui to be seen the same way as your pedofile relatives whose names have been posted for the town to see. unfortunately for you, not all crimes are equal.
