Unless you are insinuating that the guy has gotten special treatment or been let off in the past. If he is a relation, more like he's an embarrassment to the family that they can do nothing about, like Chief Dolan's sad drug addicted brother. There are actually some families who sigh in relief when they learn that a family member is in jail (better than dead).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-86910186768117887552010-01-07T10:56:37.372-06:002010-01-07T10:56:37.372-06:00Vegnation has a valid point.

I guess my issue is more that there seems to be an insinuation about the connection to a local politician.<br /><br />Then there's the whole dilemma about exposing such acts and creating a culture where folks know that certain things will be broadcast over the internet vs. allowing offenders who made a mistake to still be productive member of society after paying the price for misdeeds.<br /><br />I was just saying for the record that if it were my call, I'd have refrained from writing this post.
