In retrospect, I should apologize for posting such a shitty article from such a shitty source. I did it for the laughs.

The story has been updated with information from people who know what they're talking about (as opposed to the idiot sheriff who made that claim)

Fair enough. But I hadn't posted it for factual value.

Ah yes. I forgot the news, and reality has taken a "Who's Line is it Anyways?" approach to interpreting reality. Everythings made up, and the points don't matter.

I commented because I assumed the article had been updated since you posted it but....isn't this community for real news that looks like satire? Doesn't the factual value kinda really matter?
