To the Facebook Idiot

To the complete idiot who just posted a vile comment on the story thread on Facebook: Maybe just once in your life you could summon up have the class and empathy to hold back on your shitty little cellphone imagine how the family and friends of the victim might be feeling right now. Unbelievable that we’re sharing the neighborhood with despicable people like you.

Most large news sources have dropped the comments sections because of the low life’s that tend to frequent them. Kind of like a car accident, it is hard not to look, but you will never see anything good.

These weren’t anonymous comments. These were people who openly commented on Facebook. It doesn’t occur to them that friends and family of the victim might read their comments. Amazing.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
