Ruth, I read your 8/31/06 "Trip to cabbie's trial a waste, with meter on."
I suggest you stop referring to cyberspace as "black-helicopter-infestd" and bloggers as "paranoid" and "hysterical."
After all it was you and your buddies in the DriveBy Media who ginned up the lynch mob when this hoax first surfaced. And you were carrying the rope.
You know what you did. And we know you know...
Ruth mentions it wasting her time, the court's time, and tax payer dollars, but no where mentions what this hoax cost Elmo ...
Hey, for me this was the money quote in Ruth's article :
"There are some charges that, for the sake of the accused, the victim, and the community, it just might be better to drop."
Ruth is linking to CTV boards! Now I see where she gets "black-helicopter-infested," "paranoid" and "hysterical."
