Now, some of those who snitched may be worried these business owners may show up at their homes or businesses, and Totsch said he thinks that's just too bad.

"If they are worried about retaliation, they should have read the fine print which stated their tips would be open public record subject to a Sunshine request, and should not have submitted tips in that manner, to begin with," Totsch said. He added that he released the information to discourage this kind of behavior in the future.

In March and April, St. Louis County officials encouraged residents to report businesses online that were not following the state's lockdown rules during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Those "anonymous reports" led St. Louis County authorities to issue citations to 29 businesses.

Totsch claimed that those who had "snitched" to local authorities caused job losses to others.

How is this any different, or worse, than disclosing the names and addresses of gun permit holders - which has happened several times both online and in the media.

Less than zero sympathy for the snitchers, aka nazi fascists. I am more and more disgusted with all the do-gooder Karens out there that want to force the entire country at gun point to do what they want. I hope they lose their jobs, their pensions, their retirement accounts and their safety, and that’s me being nice.

As well they should. Stop cooperating with fascists and maybe you won’t have this problem.

Because gun permit holders weren’t harassing people.

There are way too many Karens and honestly, we should come up with a name for the male version too.

Nor here. The ones who reported on their own workplaces might have some real reason to regret the call. They’d rather draw the unemployment check, than work. Perhaps they’ll get their wish.

“Because gun permit holders weren’t harassing people.”

No, my point was that the left can‘t complain about these people being doxxed when they dox gun permit holders all the time.
