OMG.

What’s been HAPPENING in my state (and practically right in my own backyard, for that matter) since I moved away?!

This is absolutely UNCONSCIONABLE! I really wish I’d been keeping closer tabs on South Central PA, all this time. I’m so very sorry to know you and your housemates have been put through such an absolute nightmare.

Ludicrous! PA should be ASHAMED. I really will try and keep a better eye on such things. My thoughts are with you all.

Always good to hear though I agree, it may have been more to do with bad PR than sanity prevailing.

Still, the case did see an amount of discussion within steampunk circles which was certainly interesting.

Yeah, it was almost funny… they picked on one of the anarchists perhaps best fit to raise a PR nightmare: a reasonably popular writer, a homeowner with two masters degrees.

Sweet. Things like them dropping it make me think the government occasionally follows their own restrictions they set for themselves. Then I realize the case probably got too much attention and they’ll just go find some minority to pin it on.
