VICTIM?: Not by long shot

| January 16, 2021 1:00 AM

Chadlen Smith, I must congratulate you on your performance. I dare say I’ve never seen quite such an aggressive little victim in all my life. Your sincerity is just this side of truly convincing.

Genius plan, to conduct your harassment of off-the-clock police officers under the guise of “admiring Christmas lights.” Right in front of the police station. Where we all love to hang out and admire the finest Christmas lights in the entire county.

Not to bash our local law enforcement’s light displays, Post Falls has done a remarkable job of turning itself into a thriving, desirable locale but I feel we can all agree that this particular degenerate’s excuse is somewhat lacking in vigor and sincerity. I realize how hugely inconvenient it is to be arrested for breaking the law but maybe you should take into consideration that breaking laws does, in fact, lead to being arrested. Especially if you continue to do so given your affinity to push those boundaries behind the thin veil of “taking power back.”

Let me give you some advice: Stop stalking law enforcement in a town you don’t even currently reside in. I personally don’t appreciate you giving our officers such headaches. Sort out your invalid license because it is actually illegal. Stop menacing, harassing and otherwise stalking. It’s creepy. You, sir, are not the caped crusader you believe yourself to be but are actually a giant boil on the ass of humanity, or maybe like a skintag.
