I’m talking like the local paper that gives out free copies at every coffee shop and corner store.
See, I got a new neighbor, two doors down, and he’s a RSO.
But the only articles about his arrest and conviction are in a small town newspaper, and they want $83/yr for me to be able to read this article. From two years ago.
I know that sometimes RSO lists can be bullshit. Is this guys charge bullshit? I have no way of knowing. Nor do I have any way of knowing if my kids are his target demographic.
The only other thing I could find was his sister and parents sueing him for custodial rights over his kids following a DV call…Which makes me think his victims were his own kids (so statistically unlikely to attack a neighborhood child, especially once everyone is onto him), or that it’s all made up family drama.
I just want to know what I’m dealing with. Wtf. Why does everything need to be paywalled?
You just brought me back in time to honors history in highschool where I needed to go to the historical society library and had to use their microfilm to get stuff from an old newspaper.
I wonder if they still have microfilm now, or even put new papers onto it. It seems so archaic nowadays.
I remember a librarian telling me they were slowly moving from microfiche to network storage, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that there’s plenty of microfiche left collecting dust.
