I keep expecting to see DiMaggio defenders...

The kidnapper, that is, not the baseball player.

But with the attitude I keep seeing, that "All cops are pigs," I'm expecting to see someone here post about that "Poor guy who was murdered by the fascists in his tent..."

I find the whole story rather weird.

I am glad that Hannah is safe however.

Does this have something to do with the missing California teen?

I'm serious. Somebody blamed Obama for breaking up their relationship with a boyfriend. I kid you not.

Including one guy on Piers Morgan who said he was a drug counselor or something. The guy said he and singer Smokey Robinson's son were close friends with DiMaggio. He may have been in denial due to the personal association.

Be dismissive all you want, but don't forget Todashev.

Just wondering because DiMaggio isn't a name you see all that often(outside of the Bay Area, maybe.

Not when the cops take down a scumbag who kidnaps teenage girls.

Why are you starting a baiting thread here?

The brat's aunt said "He was just a baby!"
Many here agreed with the aunt.

I expect that same attitude on this murder/kidnapping as well.
