i posted links to both the FOP site and a blog supporting the frugoli fundraiser under the Latest Tip board, and it seems to have been deleted. hmmmmm
regardless, any fundraising support for that prick is shameful.
to OUR tip board? if so, they weren't deleted on purpose. Most likely, a tech glitch.
yep. no worries though. i wasn't trying to pull the censorship! card on ya. was just sayin. cheers!
thanks for letting me know, we'll def look into ti!
not sure if it's too late seeing that this article is on the second page already, but here's the blog i tried to mention last week: http://secondcitywifey.blogspot.com/2009/10/detective-joseph-frugoli-benefit.html
it seems important enough and definitely relative to this ridiculous story to mention it again. it's disturbing to me that people don't find the shame in this, and actually try to justify it based on the hobbies of the young men he killed. cuz ya know, graffiti equates to reckless homicide, right?
