Gater 2/13/2013 11:38:23 AM ReportI agree wheeler.Name calling "Wow" how mature..But it goes well with the lack of legal knowledge stated in same response..
syndi 2/13/2013 11:46:21 AM ReportNot that it is really going to make very much of a difference if this is shared with you, but if it is a domestic related incident then there will be no names unless of course the ridiculous court reporter "accidentally" prints it one day and then retracts it the next or the police make the report and retract the names the next day too as they have been very well known for doing in giving this site info that should have remained private. Laugh all you want , but this type of irresponsible "REPORTING" has hurt quite a few people....including the children of these families.
