wat a shame
The real shame here is that this article from a local newspaper is now posted worldwide on a site for "breaking world news events" without anyone ever knowing if the details in the article are true, and without anyone ever following up on it. Now this young person's name is besmirched forever because the outcome of this matter will never be posted. How terrible. What if the "facts" are not true or correct. Will this post ever be removed or corrected? of course not. The real shame should be attributed to the so called reporters who do not care how they may have affected this young man's life forever, who don't care whether or not what they have reported is correct. They should be the ones who are ashamed.
If you have information on this case why not post it and correct it if it is false.This site will retract and does all it possibly can to verify the facts, using more than two sources.
The reason this site came into being that after working for over 20 years in law enforcement and hearing I never thought I would be caught excuse for drug dealing and use. We thought that the site might show people the real facts of drug abuse. My thoughts are more with the victims your son or daughter who might be on the recieving end of this anti-social life threatening behaviour.The shame remains with you.
The shame lies within all of you... Patrick Toal was one of my best friends until this hit the papers. it destroyed him. he messed up but nobody sees that they see a drug dealer.
what nobody knows about him is he was a devout Christian (knew him from youth group), an accomplished eagle scout and an extremely polite man.
his life is ruined and he will no longer speak to any of his former friends because of the shame he feels
you and the rest of the press should be proud of yourself
