It’s pretty funny. It took the fbi over 2 yrs to arrest a kid for prank calls.
“Humboldt’s homeless count drops sharply raising concerns about future funding” that says everything about where we are as a society
Yes I noticed that too. Insane.
Very sad that when charges are dropped against someone, it does not receive the same press as when they are charged.
