Residents should be relieved that there is no actual crime in the city.

Mayor deserves thrown out of office for wasting taxpayer's money on sending his hired dogs out solely due to hurt feelz.

lulz, They piched his roomate for some weed and this
http://www.vice.com/read/the-police-raided-my-friends-house-over-a-parody-twitter-accountMeanwhile, a host of copycat parody accounts have cropped up, possibly as an act of protest, possibly just to fuck with the Peoria power structure further. I’m not sure who’s behind them or if they’re coordinated, but it’s clear that if Ardis sent the cops to Daniel’s home to clamp down on people making fun of him online, that effort failed spectacularly.

Yeah, this was a really stupid decision. He probably just increased following of the various accounts 100-fold.Laley23;1606477 wrote:He wont have enough man power to stop all the parody accounts that will no doubt be created now.

I wonder if that gets tossed due to illegal search (assuming 1st Amendment rights were violated). Would be an interesting case - I'm not sure a twitter handle like that actually rises to the level of impersonating a public official.Devils Advocate;1606485 wrote:lulz, They piched his roomate for some weed and this

One person is imitating a public official - the mayor. If I was a resident of Peoria, I'd be taking a look at the city/state's recall processes and making a few phone calls.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious that it was a parody account. I don't see many mayors tweeting things like "I am trill as fuck."gut;1606490 wrote:I wonder if that gets tossed due to illegal search (assuming 1st Amendment rights were violated).

And Twitter shutters such dubious accounts all the time, so the home invasion was completely unnecessary. I think the DA would dimiss all the charges for a $10 fine for possession.justincredible;1606494 wrote:Yeah, it was pretty obvious that it was a parody account.

Real Peoria Mayor @JimArdisMayor · 14h Being mayor is tough. Got too loaded to buy eggs so kids had to have an Easter Prescription Painkiller Bottle Hunt instead. <s>#</s>FreeSleezyD
