Longtime Marion County Record journalist Joan Meyer, 98, died Saturday less than 24 hours after a police raid at her home.

Something is going down in Marion County. The police have raided the newspaper office and taken all the computers. A dedicated local journalist dies after a police raid?

That same paper's attempt to write about the DUI of a prominent restaurant owner may have caused the raid?

What is happening to our small towns?

@futurebird Sure they weren't always like that, and we're just learning about it more now because of the internet?
@futurebird @Fragglemuppet I grew up in a small town and can confirm - always like this. There’s a reason people leave them…
@Htaggert @futurebird @Fragglemuppet yes but also back in the 80s we terrorized the police far more than they terrorized us. I remember my friend Ryan throwing donuts at Officer Talbot’s car when he was sitting on Main St., April got all of Dunkin Donuts laughing at Officer Thomas when he was assigned to do the club crowd security, we all shamed officer wasp so much he quit his job and bought a laundromat. It was a different time. We had to cut that shit out once they realize they could get away with shooting us.

You were a very privileged person… there are people who would never have gotten away with that.
