Retired Air Force Brig General Frank Sullivan pleaded guilty to 5 counts of possession of child pornography. He got probation b/c his PTSD made him do it. Heres a big FUCK YOU to the prosecutors and judge who let this travesty occur. Odd, I have a screaming case of PTSD but...

He'd make a million or two.

If they can't do that, and rely on this "Get out of jail" card, our communities begin to degrade because so many backwater organizations use them as front men to stop people from looking too hard into their local overreaches. I know, because at every step of this community's bad decision-making, there were Captains, Colonels etc, at the helm of leadership. And it's not like you could ignore it, because they would wear their titles even on stationary that was meant to relay HOA business.
At least one of them exposed how they expected you to behave: He was a Captain in the military. And, "In the military no one ever questioned me." He was offended because he was representing his in-laws in the sale of their house, and he expected everything to go without any hard questions.
It's time for this sacred cow to be put down.

He would never, ever, do something like this. He wasn't always a very nice person, and we weren't on the best terms when he died. But I can say that for him, at least. He would have vomited his disgust all over this creep.
