    Sad!
    Agreed. If he had just been a user, I would have thought differently. But if he was attempting to illegally distribute, he crossed a line and compromised his own efforts. Thanks for finding "the rest of the story."

      Notice how Fake News didn't want to investigate, why even Obama admin wanted to deport this guy, instead try to print sob story.

      Fake Fake Fake!

        Apparently not. The same article I linked to earlier has been updated, to include the following: https://www.freep.com/story/news/col...ed/1038505001/

        Sometimes, it takes news outlets time to get the entire story. That doesn't make the news fake - it makes it incomplete.

            My bad. When I saw the update and the link name, I assumed the article was about the crime you provided a link to. I am working and did not take the time to read the article itself. I don't usually do that, so my apologies for sloppy posting.

            Meanwhile, I've been doing a bit of additional checking. It seems odd to me that the news reports (all of them) explicitly say "no criminal history." The document you linked to is from a Michigan jurisdiction and clearly refers to Jorge Garcia, but Jorge Garcia is the spanish equivalent of John Smith - a very common name. I find myself wondering if there is any way to verify that this document is related to THIS Jorge Garcia. It seems odd that such an obvious court filing would be missed by every single news outlet.

            I'm going to forward the link to one of them and see what happens.

              All demi sees in link of post #1 is quoting supporters that "no criminal history". What are chances Fake News didn't fact check that?

                I think the chance is minimal, which is why I wonder if the PDF you linked to is THIS Garcia. For them to omit a fact or not be aware of a fact is understandable. But the claim that there is NO criminal history is pretty absolute. I have sent the link to the PDF to three news outlets as a "news tip." We'll see what happens.

                    Not that I've seen. I used the online "tip" posts. I'm not sure if they get back to everyone with the outcome. I would imagine that would be too time consuming. If I'm not seeing it manifest in print after the tips, I'm assuming the tip led to nothing.
