A Colorado town’s newspapers were stolen after a story about rape charges at the police chief’s house

Somebody doesn't understand the Streisand effect...

It's that King of the Hill episode where Peggy's household tips column told everyone to combine bleach and ammonia for a powerful clean, resulting in Hank stealing all the newspapers in town... except irl and horrifying.

Well, if such action had any result it turned a local story into an International one, so good going there Barney Fife

Totally not fascist.
