Comments
Meanwhile in the larger unincorporated areas outsidethe city limits? There is a lot mote that happens that is not reported here!
Why no names? Certainly there is no public service done if people are unafraid of being ‘outed’ for their misbehaviors? These are more in the line of a vicarious ‘tease’…
Probably no names until charges are bought, you know the old “innocent until proven guilty” bit.
I agree with the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ policy; but it seems that even after the court dates we don’t hear who it was. Don’t the readers want to know the results, not just the ‘exciting’ events themselves? Not a fan of incomplete journalism. Let us know the bottom line of what happened.
1. Court cases often run 6 mo – 1 year.
2. Innocent until proven guilty
3. Do you really think that “Living Snoqualmie” has the resources to track each of these incidents so that your insatiable curiosity may be relieved? Give me a break.
