Why was my Gray crony post removed?

[Anonymous]

I've read some awful things here but a regular post and thread about local politics is too hot for the boards?

You posted it in General Parenting, first of all. Then, your subject said a Gray crony had been arrested. In fact, nobody has been arrested. Baseball players get three strikes, but in this case, two strikes was sufficient. Also, Jeff Thompson is hardly a crony and he has funded a lot more people than Gray. Every current Council Member other than Wells received his funds, Fenty received his funds, and Vincent Orange was actually the one who received the most. Maybe try again with more accuracy, both in forum choice and subject content.

You can't say someone was arrested when they weren't. Anyone should be able to understand the difference between "awful" and "libel".

Give it time. The investigation is clearly heating up, and potentially could have far-reaching legal and political implications in DC.

Ooops. Sorry about the forum choice, I meant for it to go here. That being said, Gray has screwed this city big time.

Whatever. But you still can't say someone was arrested when they weren't. It's libel.

Still, while you are at it, did you note that Jeff Thompson gave Fenty more $ than he did Gray? Does that mean Fenty screwed the city big time, too?
