Blogger Publishes Names, Address Of Newspaper Staff After Gun-Permit Database
A blogger upset with a New York newspaper’s decision to publish an interactive map of local gun permit holders has returned the favor by posting the names and addresses of nearly every employee at the publication.
Blogger Christopher Fountain on For What It’s Worth published names, home address and email contact information for Journal News editor Cyndee Royle, publisher Janet Hasson and reporter Dwight Worley, who wrote an article on Sunday to accompany the map that led to widespread criticism aimed at the Lower Hudson Valley newspaper.
"Miss Royle’s married name is Lambert,” Fountain wrote. “She lives in White Plains and here is her Facebook page complete with pictures of her and her kids. Hello Sanctimony.” More
Names, Addresses, phone #'s and email addresses of ALL newspaper employees has been published in retribution. I would urge everyone to find it and express your feelings via snail mail, phone and email.
You can run , but you can't hide. Maybe some people who are in a robbing mood will direct their attention to these wealthy ones. Full circle , as they say.
Thanks for this post , it has gone viral across the country. I've e-mailed it to several , so it will expand very fast. This newspaper has gone well over edge.
The publication is attempting to justify this by saying people have a right to know who has firearms and who doesn't. If that was truly the reason then the publication would have offered a sign saying "Gun Free Zone" to whomever choose to display in front of their homes.
Since her facebook page was shut down, I phoned her and her boss. They were both "unavailable" but I left a message asking when I could expect the map of the names and addresses of the criminals who used firearms during the commission of their crimes.
Sounds like a good idea... let's publish the names and addresses of all the gun owners in America so that criminals have an convenient interactive map to steal firearms. Makes perfect sense! CNN is a bunch of liberal hypocrites. People wonder why they can't trust the news; it's actions like this that put people in danger and promote divided fronts on hot topics. Without the media blowing up these issues and events we wouldn't been seeing as many tragedies. The blood isn't only on the hands on the shooters, but the media as well. These whack jobs want the fame and glory of their senseless crimes and the media gives it to them every time. It's the copycat syndrome.
An example of why Gannett is rapidly failing. The caliber of "journalists" they employ is so funny. Just the name of the editor "CynDee" speaks volumes of the school child mentality of the company. And just like a child "CynDee" acted impulsively without weighing the consequences and this has turned full circle on not only her but her co workers. I feel sorry for her innocent co-workers who due to this "editor's" bone headed decision now have found their privacy invaded. There is no defense of her actions. Salisbury had it's own experience with the Gannett Playbabies in the form of the spoof call. This company seems to have a problem with hiring serious employees or could it be that the real true journalists don't want to be associated with the company and they only have a choice of 2nd rate?
I agree with 8:22. It's scary how much information is available.
I am uncomfortable with "outing" people as has been done here (both the gun permit holders and the newspaper staff)...we have lost our concept of basic decency in the name of scoring some sort of points against our supposed opponents.
It's a shame how we act in this country nowadays and justify our behavior in the name of "so and so did it first."
They also posted a similar list in 2006 and received negative feedback. They keep going to this well to get attention. That speaks to an editor that cares more about having a small measure of fame than a quality newspaper. She should be fired immediately.

...and the journalists are morons too. They, like others, think the problem is "guns". They are nothing but political pawns. The've sold their souls.

Sorry for the rant.
Don't be sorry 10:38. What you said is really something we should all ponder on.

It won't be, unless you let it. There are settings to prevent this.
However, if you don't know how to set those settings, you are wise not to join.
