Best Sunday We Have Seen In A Very Long Time


Its not even 9:00 PM and we've already surpassed the best numbers I have seen this year for a Sunday. Obviously the word is buzzing around town about our sex offender Post and the Daily Times lack of professional journalism. It always cracks me up how they claim to have a certain standard, yet they rarely seem to follow that protocol. They, (the MSM) want to point fingers at Bloggers and suggest we can't be trusted because they, (MSM) have a standard they follow and they can be more trusted. Folks, it's a load of crap, don't buy it.

I'm very glad so many have chosen to come here today and read that article. I thank ALL of you for giving us your opinion. These sex offenders leave a lifetime of scars and memories to their victims and it is an absolute slap in the face when the states attorneys office is handed such incredible evidence and they purposely drop the ball.

Now, will you ever see the MSM pick up on our side of the story and challenge the states attorneys office. Heck no. Without this Blog you would be clueless as to what is REALLY going on here on the Eastern Shore. Nevertheless, we thank you for coming here today.
