If the perp were a black guy they’d still be keeping the name and face secret. But since he’s white, there he is, picture and all.

Fake newspaper and reporter from the Maine Policy Institute, a political lobby group.

Attempting to identify medical patients, even on the street, violates their basic right to be left alone.
