Which is where I am and where this happened and where the article is being published, sooo… I guess my question still stands?
That’s fair. But when you’re arrested on suspicion of committing a crime, your identity is made public. I guess I’m more wondering why this guy’s name and image are withheld in this instance.
Why are they blurring his face? Fuck that. You need to let people know who these idiots are.
Edit: Okay. I’ve been properly chastised. I’m not entirely swayed, but you all have given me pause and things to think on.
My dude, it was the 80s, not the dark ages. We didn’t normally have to use a voice recorder to dub tapes. Component systems made taping off records, cassettes, radio, or whatever else easy. Every one of my friends had a dual cassette deck somewhere in the house.
I can’t think of a single person - my grandparents included - who DIDN’T have a dubbed copy of an album or a mixtape someone has given them.
On the list of things wrong here, I’m not sure “posting photo of what someone does in public” even ranks.
