We decided we needed some umbrella name for this kerfluffle that involve certain town councilmen, the sheriff's department, the Altadena Sheriff's Support Group, the Chamber Citizens of the Year, and now the Pederast Hilton, etc. and has caught Altadenablog in its toxic spray. Since the precipitating event is the (unproven) accusation that the deputies are stopping people who shouldn't be stopped, we've decided to call it Roustgate.
So here's the latest:
Jamie Bissner weighs in in Sunday's PSN.
And Steve Lamb has finally taken our advice, and alerted us that he has posted his response to his critics in this blogpost. (We note with some satisfaction that he uses "Pederast Hilton," a term we coined).
(Our ban remains in place, however.)
Update 7/14: Steve's Lamb's original blogpost linked above has apparently been removed from the website.
