I’m not making excuses for the police department and their resourcing, but Sage is far from the only woman missing in Charlottesville. Like several of the other women who have been reported missing from the area, there are just no leads. More resources won’t make leads appear.

Hey splinter, this is a powerful article, but why not show a picture of Erik McFadden? I get that he is far from convicted, but he’s still a person of interest on the run, no? Seems like it would be good to get his picture out there as often as possible. 

Things like that make it harder to get through the article. Just saying.

all we are asking for is for sage to be brought home,we need closure. i really dont think that’s to much to ask for. sage loving grandma.

Most of the architectural marvels in Rome were built by (caucasian)slave labor, does that somehow make them less worthy? Be careful where you draw your temporal lines of disgust, chances are some of your heroes & closely held beliefs won’t hold up to much scrutiny .

The University of Virginia in Charlottesville was built by the enslaved and worships Thomas Jefferson

You’re right and very true. And sorry for being a jerk about this. I think we’re both probably of the same mind and just nitpicking at the details. As people do online.

I totally understand her side and I’ve been there, I just didn’t like the way she went about it. But that’s my issue, not your’s. And the ice cream…

She could be less white, because that’s her real offense here. White people living in a neighborhood that white people aren’t supposed to live in means that anything they do in that neighborhood is the wrong thing.

“Working” in this instance does not equate to “making deals/compromising.” Is THAT such a difficult concept to understand? Stop reading your own definition into it.

Oh bullshit. No neighborhood has a right to its old “culture” when new people move in. I used to live in an Italian neighborhood (Bensonhurst) that certainly had its own culture. When Chinese people started moving in, the local guidos flipped out because the neighborhood was “changing.” Now the neighborhood is mostly…

K, so it’s cool when white people bitch about black people moving into “their neighborhoods,” then? Got it.

ueh, people should be able to move to whatever neighbourhoods they please. Fuck the “established cultural norms and traditions. People have excused all kinds of bullshit in the name of cultural norms and tradition.

Your railroad analogy is utter bullshit. for one you actually permanently see the railroad tracks. Also…

It is illegal though. The city recognizes that a loud, parked ice cream truck is a nuisance. He can play his song to drum up business all he wants as long as he keeps moving. When he stops to make some sales, it’s supposed to go off. When he needs more customers, he moves on. These are the rules the ice cream truck…

The property she was is within ear shot of the tunes. Are you?

Neighborhoods change depending on who owns the property. Unless it’s you, your opinions are worthless.

The answer is an audio counterstrike. Play the same song during hours when he isn’t there so that no one knows when he’s there or not. Alternate approach:

I know we’re supposed to hate this woman because she’s white and is supposedly living in the wrong neighborhood based on that, but I’d be pissed too if some asshole parked his ice cream truck outside my house and played annoying music every day, and then told me to “fuck off” when I tried to be upfront and work with…

Sorry but if that truck was parked outside your house blaring that shitty jingle for over an hour you’d be pissed.

If I own it or have a lease I have every-right to demand peace and quiet.
