The co-owner of a Kansas newspaper allegedly died as a direct result of the unprecedented police raid against the publication and its staff after they obtained damaging information about a local businesswoman — which the paper declined to publish.

Joan Meyer, 98, died after being “stressed beyond her limits and overwhelmed by hours of shock and grief” after police raided her and her son’s home Friday as part of an investigation into the Marion County Record.

The paper had the audacity to print articles about local law enforcement.

Meyer, however, said he ultimately decided not to publish the story about Newell after questioning the motivations of the source. Instead, he said, he alerted the police about the information.

“We thought we were being set up,” Meyer said about the confidential information



Holey crap


someone gave them a tip and instead of printing it they told the cops the information



THEN THE COPS RAID THEM?



This is fucked up



The stupid Republican kid better distance himself from these idiots

I'm a strong believer in America. As a nation, we have our problems and, as history proves, we'll get through this because most people, especially Americans, are GOOD people.

The asshole haters on JPP? The Trumpers? Those who consider killing innocent people, including kids, as "collateral damage"? They are the enemy,
 
The enemy of all thinking and caring people everywhere in the world

Little nazi want to be like these small town clowns

I put a news alert on this story because of your OP. I also put an alert on Newell.

This is just a guess from me but I'd bet good money Newell is fucking the police chief.

New article


Has new interview with the papers owner


He was a college journalist instructor and worked on larger papers in the past


This was his families paper that was a once a week retirement job that earned him very little money


He did it out of love of journalism


These fucking local republicans thought they could murder this papers oversight of their illegal shit and get away with it



Now they are fucked


Just like their model Trump


Authoritarianism assholes
 
MK: I just wanted to end with one last question: What do you think this raid on your paper and on your home says about the state of journalism in the country right now?

EM: I haven't been able to see enough of the outpouring from the people in this town. We've been getting incredible support from people outside this town. People in this town have been very supportive, but not publicly. And I talked to one person who said, “Oh, are you sure It's ok that I can talk to you because they might come and seize my computer?” They're afraid. They're really afraid that the police power is unchecked, and that they can be punished like this. And I think that's why I think it's important for us to fight this as much as we can, because it is destroying everything we're trying to do with democracy, which is to get people more involved.

We've been trying to get people involved because people are afraid that if they step up—in a small town particularly—they will get squashed. Someone will knife them in the back. They will tell all their friends to stop doing business with them, or they will shun them, or they won't take them to the country club.

It’s a way to dispirit people from becoming involved in government by making them think that if you do, there's gonna be consequences and they're going to be negative. And in a community that's largely a lot of older people, a lot of them have said, you know, I've fought all the battles. I don't want to have a new battle that I'm dealing with. So they'll all complain about something, but they'll do it very quietly. We won't hear about it.
 
The local people are SCARED TO COMMENT on the issue


Afraid to talk to the local paper for FEAR THEIR COMMPUTORS AND PHONES WILL BE SIEZED!



That says a lot about who these evil fucks are in this little town
 
It's Kansas.

You live in the middle of the country, you live by Dodge City rules.

Nobody raids newspapers in Boston.

People who believe that there's one America will NEVER understand what's actually happening.

The locals are now afraid to comment on this issue
 
Oh these Coos have destroyed their entire lives with this evil shit



That restaurant owner will lose everything she owns now



Trying to shut down the local press for not even printing an article about the crimes she has now confirmed she did after blaming the newspaper for the story her divorcing ex husband told the local paper about

She DID GET a DUI


HER HUSBAND WOULD KNOW


the new police head was also being investigated by this local paper



So the two local criminal elements got together and did some crimes on the 100+ year old local paper to try and kill it



I hope they both end up in prison for it
 
This is the Trump effect on local republicans



They think they can attack people criminally and pull it off if they have enough local power



They can’t


Fuck them
