How would it ever be defamation to show videos of what public officials actually did?

I've actually been there. This is hilarious, but the serious side is that their county doesn't have the money to spend on this kind of shit.

When people say the USA doesn't have "real poverty" I always think of the two barefoot kids I saw carrying buckets to the creek. Or the partially collapsed rat's nest/lean-to "cabin" that I was sure had been abandoned for decades, but then had smoke coming from the chimney in winter. Half the walls were plastic tarp and scrap metal. That's Adams County.

The town of Portsmouth is right next door in Scioto County, and it was ground zero for the opioid epidemic in the USA. The first pill mill was right there. Last time I was there on any sheltered stretch of the river you could find addicts living in tents. The librarians carry Narcan.

But they raid Afroman's house looking for weed.

Funniest trial ever filmed, do yourself a favor a look up some clips
