Two days ago, Kitsap Sun crime reporter Josh Farley wrote a followup story about charges filed against four alleged prostitutes who were arrested at a Bainbridge hotel.
Over 48 hours later, readers are still commenting on the story. I think there’s almost 50 now.
To save you a lot of time, here’s a few highlights:
“BI Girls, They’ve been living in their white bread world…”
“Hookers and drugs go hand in hand like cheerios and milk.”
“Lots of trophy wives on Bainbridge, but that’s legal.”
And common refrains:
“Legalize it!”
…and….
“Tax it.”
The Feb. 7 Seattle Times’ story about the arrests has raked in 134 comments. A quick rundown of the comments reveals that debate over in Seattle sounds a lot like it does over here (but with maybe a few less Bainbridge jokes).
And the story I wrote on Feb. 2 about the arrests is, today, still getting reader comments. I tried counting all the posts but became dizzy from all the downward scrolling. The story ranks as our fifth most-commented story, right under stories about child rape, transsexual rights and same-sex marriage.
I’m starting to see a theme here….but I still have hope that my latest story on city finances will fly into the top ten like a rocket.*
*Just kidding.
